Honda parts reviews

I just traded my '23 HR-V Sport AWD after 3 years and 61k miles.

Positives:

Mine was rock solid reliable, never had a repair other than one recall.

This is subjective, but I found it to be really good looking and comfortable.

Features like adaptive cruise and lane keep assist make long drives much less tiring.

Interior materials are pretty nice for the price point.

Negatives:

It doesn't have much power and gets decent, but not amazing gas mileage.

No rear heat/AC

Another subjective one, but I personally don't much care for the feel of the CVT.

Headlights come aimed too high and due to the design (inside pair of lamps are part of low-beams), people constantly flashed me at night, thinking my high beams were on. This got a lot better after taking ten minutes with a screw driver to aim the lamps down a bit.

Please please please, get a remanned or new Denso. Do not buy anything else. You WILL regret it.

Unless you love electrical quirks and replacing alternators, get a Denso.

Normally I still buy Honda parts and fluids with normally yearly servicing. in the last 14 years only expense has been both rear calipers needing changing due to seizing.

You are being taken for a ride. 7 mm is the run out for Honda/Acura. I own a 2001 accord, and a 2004 crv, and have never had to replace the rotors, or calipers.

I've been on B4s for two years on my 2nd gen. Granted they're on springs that sit almost an inch lower than OE height, but performance is solid and consistent all the same. Id imagine they're even more plush at OE height versus that small amount of preload from sitting slightly lower. Worth the money.

Other than the boring looks they are superb A to B cars. They even fixed the appalling ride of the gen8. I had a gen8 for years and this is an all round far better car. It does nothing amazing but everything fairly well or at least not bad.

-Guys I realized I haven't changed my oil for 60k kilometers how bad is it\n\n-My 20 year old Honda has a fairing loose how do I fix it

I ran 10W-50 and 10W-60 for a few years in an old and beaten up Honda in the hope of reduce oil consumption to avoid having to open the engine. Long story short: it's not harmful, it's an expensive gimmick, the only real-life effect is fuel consumption will slightly worsen and that Honda had occasional issues with VTEC (a well known issue in those engines when running high viscosity oils).

I got 2 cheap sets of these online for a Honda idsi engine (8 iridium plugs required) they turned out to be fake and were burned out in 6 weeks causing it to misfire badly.

Go with Mazda due to CVT transmission in Honda. Honda CVT failed at 65000 miles and had fluid changed twice at 30k miles intervals.
