2000 Honda Accord SE 2.2 VTEC from North America
Summary:
Buy every warranty possible, you never know if Honda screwed up when building it
Faults:
Needed new seals.
Needed new axles.
Transmission has died. Needs replacement. Honda has known that they installed a faulty transmission, however they did not offer a recall. Now I am stuck paying $3000 for a new one.
General Comments:
I bought a Honda believing that the company was reputable and that 'Honda's can go 200,000 miles' without any issues. I feel that Honda has made buying a car from them like playing the lottery, if your lucky you'll get one that they didn't screw up, if not, too bad they won't fix their mistakes. It's a shame Honda can't take responsibility for their actions. They have the ability to make a great car, they just need to follow through when they screw up.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Must have been something you did to your car, because it is usually the V6 that has that trouble.
Interestingly enough, I have an I-4 and a V6 edition of your car, and have only had problems with the alternator needing replacement on the V6 and the EGR valve on both cars. Other than that, they are both running great and on their original transmission.
My I-4 has 120k and my V6 has 170k. It is all in the maintenance. I will admit I have had to replace the headlight bulbs, but Honda said nothing of a recall. They only burn out once a year and are very cheap to fix.
