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.
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.
I've replaced a battery, 2 exhausts and brake pads in that time. Literally that's it, just maintenance and fuel.
In my 3.5 years I have replaced radiator (likely from an idiotic coolant flush, not a standard problem), IAC valve, blower moter resistor, PWS hoses, starter, and replaced rotors/calipers/pads.
I have gone through two batteries already. They seem to only last 3-4 years on this car - at least in my experience.
All that carbon fiber to make it light and easy to flick into corners - yet bro's never been past 15° lean. Waste of good rubber.
i’d like to introduce you to the honda k series. filter on back of engine, hard to reach from top, hard to reach from bottom, easiest but still hard from wheel well. oh and if it’s a honda element or CRV, it pisses oil all down your subframe and axle shaft.
I had a 2002 Honda CR-V and the oil filter was mounted horizontally on the back of the engine. You had to reach through the RH front wheel well with the wheel removed or turned all the way to the left. Making a mess was completely unavoidable.
I’m on my first Honda (2017 CRV) and had a $1500 oil leak fixed in September and now this coming week have scheduled a $2800 timing chain replacement. Just short of 160k miles.
