Actually, the oil filter on my 2001 Accord is very easy to reach. I am
not sure about the new generation though.

Easy to reach, but I can't remove mine without spilling oil all over...
unless I change it cold.

ok, if you want to compare FWD cars. does acura now make a RWD car?

> Land Cruiser vs Element, CRV, RAV4, Acura MDX

apples vs oranges. the only close comparo is a RAV vs CRV.

land cruiser vs element? WTF? completely different drivetrains, sizes,
weights, price ranges, and demographics.

land cruiser vs escalade would be more like it.

Re: The most reliable cars of 2005. Honda must be dozing off??
 

I got a camry and an accord - both with 140K miles. The camry has had
lots more problems......2 steering pumps, 1 steering rack, sway
bushings, dash board lights that cost a fortune in labor to access and
replace, transmissions drain plugs that only drain half of the trans
fluid.......

Lets see.... how many interior door handles have broken????????
Oil leaky V6 engine!

Difficulet to change spark plugs in the rear.....


etc.

If your just going to keep a car a few years = dont matter but if ya
want to keep a car a long time!!!!!!!!?

You are correct, of course. Most cars are reliable enough to make it through
the warranty period without major problems, and many will make it through
the extended warranty period without causing the company to lose money on
the average. But if you are going for the long run, the numbers can be very
different indeed. I recently got rid of an '84 Nissan 300ZX with barely 150K
miles that had me working on it virtually every weekend. Electrical
intermittents mostly, but leaky injectors and a variety of other problems
too. And the spark plug access in that V6 would make Mother Teresa curse
God - and she's dead!

My daughter's '93 Accord has been a solid piece of transportation, even
though it is over 200K miles now. Little to medium-sized problems, but
nothing big.
