We have had Hondas in our family for 18 years - A total of 5 over the years, 2 currently still in the driveway.

First there were two Civics that got traded in when we out grew them (2 doors cars don’t work well with larger kids)- both having more than 150,000 miles on them at tradein.

Then an 1999 Accord which went nearly 300,000 miles. Note that this was a V6 Automatic - ran like a charm.

Currently a 2003 CRV with more than 100,000 miles on it (yes we drive a lot - joys of the living in the country and having a long work commute.) and a 2005 Accord Hybrid - great car.

Total of probably 800,000 miles on the five cars - and NEVER a transmission problem. We serviced the cars regularly and nothing ever went out that wasn’t due to mileage (e.g. brakes needed new pads etc.).

My inlaws have had Hondas for 20 years plus and I don’t ever recall a tranny problem there either.

I am planning on a Honda Civic or a Fit for my DD when she is ready - she will learn on the two that are in the driveway now!!!
