Honda starters are known to be finicky about voltage - they need that full 12.6v or they'll grind like crazy. I'd try a decent battery first before messing with the starter, way cheaper fix

Pros: cheaper fix, decent battery

Cons: finicky about voltage

Vehicle: Honda

I had a customer that went through 4 starters from Napa. When I diagnosed it the starter was not fully engaging and grinding on the flywheel. Told them I needed to get a starter from Honda. After arguing and arguing and doubting and more arguing, the new starter from Honda fixed it.

Pros: Honda starter fixed issue

Cons: Napa starters failed

The only thing I hate is my civic ate a starter and replacing it myself was a POS because its under the engine. But my civic is still cheap to fix and maintain and relatively easy to work on compared to other brands.

Pros: cheap to fix, maintain

Cons: starter hard to replace

Vehicle: Honda Civic

High temp plastic does turn brittle over time... plastic breaks manufacturers will tell you that the plastic is just as strong and wear resistant. But we all know its just to make shit cheaper.

Cons: plastic turns brittle, cheap manufacturing

Vehicle: Ford Focus
