Honda better then BMW

Because a fuel pump will last 741,000 miles VS 800.

Guess this dude drove 1 million miles on his accord.

Probably more reliable, though those 328s are pretty darn reliable themselves.

1,000,000 miles in a 94 honda accord. Sounds like something similar to hell.

I trust my '98 Accord with 190k on a road trip more than my 07 335i with 47k. So yes- except for driving dynamics and luxury appointments, the Honda is better. We call it "the ultimate transportation appliance".

The spare tire alone makes the Honda preferable on a road trip.

did u have to do any major work?

my previous car was a honda prelude and i took that to almost 300K, not much major work other than a transmission issue that was fixed under warranty, a ball bearing that i paid out of pocket and timing belt and associated work whenever it reached the 100K mark....easy car to own thats for sure. My 325 is just getting to 80K and i'm keeping my fingers crossed

I only replaced a transmission and a flywheel. I could've been responsible for both of those repairs being needed, I was 15. It was an 85 5.28e and if I could find it, I'd buy it back and restore it!
