Okay...This thread has gone way off into Vtech land ( no offense to honda owners), but threads like this are not welcome on this board. Chill.
Fact...The car in question is a rare find, looks like a good buy, I say go for it....
Irrelevant... generalizing ANY make by perception. When I hear "All DSM's are trash" I cringe because I know that they can be built into fairly reliable cars, I know of 2 such DSM's owner by friends of mine in years past. Furthermore; When all WRX's are junk because " The tranny blew out and the clutch fried."...hmmm? I wonder how competant the driver is or how hard the car has been beat on...
Proof...Dean, Scott, Tyson, Mike K and myself all drive our cars very hard in extensive autocross, track days and even solo1
and have had no issues. (knocking on wood as I type) Could that have something to do with the skill level? I think so...
Basically, I think the owner/ driver has 80% to do with a cars reliability, 20% with the make....Except when it comes to Volkswagons (
)
So there...Lay off the insults or this thread is getting black flagged!
