You're one in a million I think
Honda's in general are usually very reliable, although each model has it's own "common issues". What sort of problems are you having?

Ive owned mine for 2 months exactly and had no problems at all so far.... even how low mine is, still no issues!

wash your mouth out
had hondas for 8 years and never had even a cell light on any
they have to be the most reliable car on the market, think we have to get together and sort your problems

I've had mine nearly 5 years and I've only had the clutch slave cylinder need replacing.
It's never broken down or not started.

its only done 64k, seems to have been well looked after too, the front fogs refuse to work, the cambelt auto tensioner failed, the speedo is very intermittent, and the needle doesnt light up, the cat blocked up so took it out, its still running really rich, it sometimes hestates the other times its fine, ive lost reverse gear, the front speakers dont work, the immoiliser packed up so i had that removed, the alarm randomly goes off, i had no end of trouble sorting the exhaust ut on it, i put a new stainles system on it, a few days later it broke the hanger bracket on the down pipe, leaving a massive hole, its doing my nut in! my landrover is less trouble!
