This has pretty much been our experience with Japanese vehicles as well. Four engines in 140,000 miles sounds typical for a Toyota. Four transmissions in that time seems typical for a Honda. We solved the problem. We bought GM and neither of them has cost us a dime in repairs. The oldest has 85,000 miles, the newest 80,000. The newest one hasn't even had the brake pads replaced. One battery and one set of tires is all it has ever had.
I have a 94 4Runner, and the only thing that's been wrong was the starter and CV axles. It has been an awesome truck. I have hardly any problems, and I go trail riding 2 times a week.
