It reminds me of people getting a divorce when they find their mate isn't perfect. They go find another to marry. Guess what, that person isn't perfect either. Reminds me of the great book "Everyone's Perfect Until You Get To Know Them."
I hope the Honda does well for you. You may find someday that it isn't perfect either. Hondas, for some reason, have gotten the "halo" reputation, but no car is perfect. I paid $14,100 for my '09 and am happy at that price for an economy car. I have not forgotten $4.15 per gallon of gas. The HHR is fun, distinctive, and has personality for an economy car in my opinion.
God Bless, Marc

FWIW: My Bro-n-law needs to think he always has the latest & greatest.
So he bought a new Jeep Commander (supposed to be the Hi-end of Jeeps)..
That thing has been in the shop for everything from tranny issues, to water leaks, electrical gremlins & more things, but that's all I remember..
At least it had warranty to cover these things.

I agree with other's that Honda's aren't perfect either. I still see a bunch of rusted out Accords running around here. 
Sure, the engines are reliable, because they stick to the tried and true, evolutionary design and manufacturing process, but I find their styling boring, and/or completely ugly (same goes for Toyota's and Nissan's).
For a daily driver, great, but for fun and style...find something else.

The exact reason I bought one. I saw pictures before they hit the lot and thought, OH OK, but once I drove one and kept seeing them everyday at the dealership I knew I had to have one. The OP has whinned about his for over a year. I am glad he sold it. He will one day be on the accord forum biotching about it.
