hondas are one of the most reliable cars on the road.
reliabilty is gonna be different for every car no matter what it is tho, if you dont drive it WOT all the time it will most likely be a very reliable car.
Try and buy one that has low mileage and was driven by an old lady

Mine with 70k 1 prev owner hasn't had any hiccups for the last 5k miles, if that helps. If they are taken good care of I don't think there's any "special" issue with them. Sometimes it might seem like they are hard to start but I think that's because of the way their fuel system is setup..as long as you give the fuel pump a few seconds before cranking it if the car's been sitting awhile you should be ok.

Happened to mine at 90k. There was a thread about this a few months back, and this was pretty much the concensus. Haven't had a problem with the B- in about 30k, and I regularly wind it out. Snapped the timing belt at approx. 8 grand and still haven't had any repercussions.

seriously if you cant speak or write such simple words you have no business driving a car

Re: (94hatchling)
It's a Honda, it will be VERY reliable. I have 2 Hondas, and have had only 1 problem with each of them. Do the routine maintenance, and the car will never leave you stranded.
