Considering all the issues you've dealt with, Honda is fortunate that you remain loyal to the brand.
 
Not really. That is the typical Honda-phile. No matter how bad the experience, they always come back. The Force is strong with Honda.

Many times, it's more about the car, than it's reliability. As an example. My wife was rear ended in my 03 Accord. It was in the shop for 2 weeks. We got lucky and received a brand new 06 Chevy Impala as a free rental, because all the older or smaller cars were already rented out. There was nothing wrong with the Impala, but I still wanted my 3 year old Accord back as soon as possible. Other cars are just not as solid, and don't give you that connected feeling you get from an Accord. Drive an Accord for 3 years, and then get stuck with a Chevy for 2 weeks, and you'll probably see what I mean.

I actually did own an Accord some years ago. It was just an okay car. Would I own another Honda? Sure. But it's not the only thing that I would ever consider owning (obviously.) I've driven many generations of Accords and none of them felt "connected" in much of any way or handled all that well. As I recall from my experiences, they all understeered like mad when pushed even a little bit. I just don't get the locked-in-for-life attraction.
