Replying to: honda_oh_no (Jan 11, 2008 7:38 am) Read your own post, "ON SOME MINI VANS". SOME is not equal to 100%. Also, that covers up to 2004, but you said it was 100% all the way up to 2008, which is incorrect. Your post is false, plain and simple. Even though this is old news, you could provide useful information to some folks if you were accurate. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 11, 2008 8:08 am) The sad thing is the way they are rectifying the problem. I worked in a Japanese company for 11 years and this is simply unacceptable. We solved problems in a pro-active manner not reactively.

Replying to: honda_oh_no (Jan 11, 2008 8:54 am) Your post was sensationalist and, more importantly, factually inaccurate. Why do you say 100% of the 2008 transmissions are bad, then acknowledge only models up to 2006 were affected?

There are lots of car reviews like msnauto, yahooauto and once you see a common problem then run- not walk away from that model !....a little too late for a lot of eager buyers... |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 11, 2008 8:58 am) But having good experience with my other hondas made me shrug of the issue and blindedly went ahead. I don't believe in Honda Quality anymore. |

Replying to: lions (Mar 13, 2008 6:52 pm) Even if you overload the van, you would think that would affect the rear axle more, given that carries most of the payload.

| We were looking for a under $20,000 van and prefer to buy used if possible. We tried everything, and like the Honda but to get the most current model it took all of the $20,000 and that was for a van just off warranty. We found a used 2007 Kia Sedona LX with 18,000 miles and got it for about $15,500 if you use a realistic cash value on our trade instead of the bumped up number they used to make it look like we were putting more down. It still has a longer bumper to bumper warranty left then a Honda comes with new. The new Honda dealer flat out lied to me about his cost on a van which really turned me off on a new one. He said many times the prices at Edmunds and other places were thousands under what they really have to pay. Finally I got him to admit that that's just what they could get for them not what they had to get (which is all fine and dandy if he hadn't lied in the first place). I really like the Toyota van with the new motor but they are hard to find used and are a good $22,000 even then. Also they are very mushy in the suspension which is probably what some people like. The Kia to me seemed sportier then the Honda maybe because it's a little lighter. I guess if you have $25,000 to spend and an honest dealer then a new Honda is nice but why not take advantage of the initial resale drop on the Hyundai and Kia and get an equally nice van for much less? Either invest the $10,000 or save all that interest in financing. | |
