I still miss my Civic but not the problems it came with and I have never said that ALL Hondas are the same I have never suggested that people shouldnt buy one so it really winds me up when people do suggest that any other choice of car is a bad one.
Oh an this rant is aimed at you btw  |
Aside from all the specific digs, the bits of your post i've highlighted, I think, tell the story.
EVERY car out there has had a lemon version of it built, one that goes wrong all the time, has all the problems etc, there is then the same model, spec that NEVER goes wrong, never has an issue etc etc.
I can assure you that when the Focus first launched, in its first two years, it was riddled with problems as with many other 'new' models from a variety of manufacturers. Audi TT's being recalled to have spoilers fitted so that at speed they didn't fall off the road etc etc - ring any bells?
I don't know of your specific issues with the cars you had and i'm genuinely sorry to hear of your woes with what is widely regarded as one of the best hatches about today. Please don't think i'm saying your car of choice is awful as it certainly isnt. It also isn't perfect was my inital point.
