Honda Cars - Why Do They Get Such A Bad Rep by MontyNG(m): 9:45am On Mar 06, 2016 |
So I'm looking at getting a 2010 Honda Accord... Naija used... Why do they get such a bad rep ![]() Everyone just says they always "yawo"- have steering / shaft issues... Is this historical reasons... Do these also apply to the newer models 2010 accords.... Does anyone with one let me know their experience with it... It may not be as rugged as a Toyota but is it really that bad that it must be avoided ![]() Its either that or get a 2011/12 kia cerato... Prices of Camry's have really shot up recently and can't afford one! Thanks |

MontyNG: 'yawo' or not, is due to lack of maintenance and not paying attention to unusual noise(s), using below standard replacement parts or Kazeem errors!!! NB:Also budget for a tracker. The Honda is a good choice!!! |

MontyNG: Maintenance is the key factor. Honda accord 2010 are not known for this issue |

MontyNG:Hondas are better built than toyotas. The 8th Gen Honda accord American Spec till the recent generation is way advanced than the toyota counterpart. They're much safer, much advanced, much more powerful, muvh more innovative and driver focused than the camry. If i am to choose between a honda 8th gen and a camry xv40, I'd pick the honda with the 2.4l KA24Z3 engine avoidig the R series engines. This is coming from the keypad of a die hard toyota fan and i typed it myself. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Go for it. It all boils down to maintenance. If you maintain it well it will serve you well. My 2 cents |

people who say hondas aren't good are either naive, being mischievous or outright ignorant. i have had a 2008 camry for a while and a 2007 accord and i can tell you that maintenance is key. personally i prefer the accord....but then, it's my opinion. 1 Like 1 Share |

hkwills:Same Accord that can start experiencing stressed chassis in front where the front end chassis starts expanding jn a manner that the shaft could become incompatible and tends to oull out from the wheels? Have you heard of any toyota experiencing such nasty stuff? Oya talk more? |

To me personally from experience, i mean my own personal thought, hondas are cheap, underpowered, some have sporty looks but the opposite, most are ugly, when the owners try to modify them, they RICE them,(even in naija), mostly automatic and FWD (good for our old grand mothers) not so reliable, (one tire will fall out in a bend) interiors and exteriors are cheap and lack styling, compared to even Hyundai, Let me just stop, seriously to me the disadvantage out number the advantage of getting a honda so i will NEVER BUY ONE BY GODs GRACE. Note this is my OWN PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF HONDA. & even if u say i hate honda. YES U ARE RIGHT. Don't debate with me cus this is my personal issue. Nissan,Mazda,Mitsubishi. Never honda never. Gud luck. Dont dispute just do a research about other cars, u will be more informed and educated instead of wasting time arguing with my comment |

If u feel honda has a bad rep what will u say about nissans and mitsubushis? Honda has a long term reliability. Although i have seen a crosstour with d leg pull before but still Honda is stilĺ an obedient servant. |

xvbill: A honda accord is faster than a toyota camry with similar engine specs, interior is well detailed than most Japanese car specs within same class specs, much moree standard equipment are found in honda of a partixular trim level compared to most other cars within same class and trim level. A honda is sporty in handling than a toyota due to its suspensiom setup. A honda is very reliable year for year, its reliability ratings are quite matchrd with that of toyotas. Lets forget bias, if you think you have an European car with same engine specs as a honda and wish to race against a good driver, dont be surprised that honda will annihilate it on the straights and some curves. 3 Likes |

FlyboyZee: Its not about stereotype. Toyota, unlike Honda DO NOT experience any expansion of front chassis under normal driving situation except its been involved in a front end or trans axle issue. Read thru my first comment before you tag me stereotyping. |
Re: Honda Cars - Why Do They Get Such A Bad Rep by FlyboyZee: 6:36pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
kingreign:I still maintain that Toyotas such as Sequoias, 4Runners, Camrys and even Corollas have been in such situations. I have been involved a couple of times, I have friends who can narrate their experiences to you and I have also witnessed same with my [i]koro koro [/i]eyes. |
