Bit of both I should imagine. I know there were come issues countermeasured on the 07 model and I think the same applies to the 08 just released. And I know some of those fixes have been fed back in to warranty work as we have seen here. But then some times it's just not that easy.

But Honda still has the best rep - I can't remember which survey it was but Honda was top with an average of 1.27 faults per car in the wararnty period of 3 years. As many on here and elsewere are happy and fault free then it does mean that others have 2,3 or 4 faults - as we also see here - we may not like it but that's still the best in th industry. I have had over a dozen Honda's since 1990 - company and private and I have had 2 faults it total (one of which was down to Rover so it doesn't really count). I'm considered a life'r by my dealership - probably why I never get a Jazz when my Accord is serviced.
