What does this mean for future reliability of Hondas

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Probably fine. Nissan's problem isn't reliability so much as being boring and outdated.

That was always my issue with them, like, I want to like their offerings but they always feel several years behind

I'm obviously embracing middle aged-ness and say boring isn't too bad. And what's wrong with being out dated ?:p

My wife and I had to have her 2013 Nissan rogue transmission replaced last year which cost $7k, so I disagree on your point about reliability. -___-

In all seriousness though, I always had the impression that Nissan was known for being the least reliable of the big 3: Toyota, Nissan, Honda

Most EVs don't have transmissions, so at least that's one less thing to worry about.

Relatively speaking, perhaps. In practice, modern cars are pretty damn reliable, at least mechanically. Tons of cars end up in the junkyard with perfectly working engines.

I can't seem to find the reference now, but there are some studies out there showing every single brand is more reliable now than the best brand 20 years ago.

That ship sailed when they built the Alabama plant.
