Our family has bought 3 Honda vehicles in the past 1.5 years. A 2022 CRV-EXL AWD, 2023 CRV-EXL AWD, 2024 Civic Hatchback. I have 2 daughters and a wife that these were for. We went with Honda for the price, and hopefully reliability. The fact that Honda is having a bunch or recalls is scary. The fact we want cars for reliable transportation and not a statement of status is changing for ALL MANUFACTURERS. At this point I can't say who is making a reliable vehicle in 2024.
I have owned more than a dozen Honda products over the years (a few Acura's included), and for the longest time you just did the required maintenance, changed the oil more often than they recommended (totally my choice), and NEVER had an issue with any of them, ever. This sure isn't true anymore. And when something goes wrong, it's not something cheap and inconsequential, it's the damn engine or transmission (or what they call a transmission now). Makes me wish I bought a few extra Accords ten years ago and put them in storage. I'm old enough now that when I bought my 2020 I was thinking this could be my last car (not that I think I'm dying, they just used to last forever). Now I'm not so sure, and I don't really want to be dealing with major problems once the powertrain warranty expires. So damn sad, you never could have convinced long ago this would be the way Honda would be today. I purposely avoided the BMW's and MB's that friends bought because I had no interest in impressing anyone (other than myself) and I wanted the bulletproof reliability. Things are supposed to get better, not worse.
Always be willing to walk away. Do not invest emotions in a vehicle purchase. There is always another vehicle at another dealership. But be realistic about what you can afford. Pay cash.
It boils down to greed. What we’re seeing is a tipping of scales- quality versus sale price. Manufacture greed has come to fruition. It will take years to reverse this perception. Serves em right
@@houstonraver834you don't understand CEO bonuses are meaningless. They made 4.2 million cars last year, so a 5 million bonus would add $1.20 to each car. Where does the rest of the 10,000-25,000 per car price bump go?
@@jtodd0221 I think we are good, 2017 Civic Ex-T. It seems to be mostly the new models that are affected. I still can't believe that Honda is falling of like this. Wow.
My next-door neighbor works for an insurance claims department, and he handles auto warranty claims. Right now, the three biggest he is getting are Honda, Hyundai, and Kia. He talked about what is going on with the Engines and the seals that are all failing in the cars. He said on Hyundai and Kia, if you get one, do not get anything with a turbo. On Honda, the cars are listed, and it's all Seals throughout the engine that are failing. He said that Honda is so bad that they are sending new engines instead of fixing the issues with the seals due to so many cars.
Honda is not sending engines nor is the warranty/insurance company paying for an engine when all it needs is seals. You might have misinterpreted something there.
Just do not get Cx5 (Any trim) I had Cx5 2023 and traded in with BMW X3 2024, the only reason is that it is still using old infotainment system that goes back to 2017 I guess , I noticed this comparing to my CX30. for example you can NOT forward music tracks with volume knob , you will not see tire pressures which you can do in CX30, When vipers are in Automatic there is no light indicator that it is in Automatic which is annoying at nights, There is no Automatic high beam button , All these are fixed new series. in terms of cabin quality in some areas it beats BMW , I like quality and feeling of volume knob in my Cx30 much more than X3. Mazda really offer premium vehicle, on my Cx30 2022 we have 53K and there was no single issue. it drives like new and I can say very sporty. Transmission tuning on cx30 is way better than CX5.
Just bought a CX-30 really nice car. Reliable 2.5l 6speed non turbo no cvt. Cheaper maintenance and operation costs. Insurance seems to be lower than the others. Test drove a new Nissan. Didn't even feel like a new car. Honda builds a nice reliable and safe car. If you can afford the insurance and payments.
you just can’t win this car game , you want to save few bucks , you buy used , and then it needs repairs , or you go get yourself in debt to get a new car , thinking you won’t have any problems , and next thing you know , you have problems … what to do ? You can lease I guess , you’ll end up with high payments , but you don’t have to worry about fixing the car … I don’t know , it sucks
leases are not always high payments in todays market. I agree leasing is not the best deal, but as long as you make sure you get a reasonable mileage it's not too bad if you care about not having to pay for repairs.
@@Xander1Sheridanleases are often the way to go. You can pay $250 a month with zero due for a car line a civic for three years. That's $9000 every three years. Or $36k for 12 years. No maintenance, no stress
In 2017, we paid $21K without negotiation for a brand new, moderately equipped, 4WD (not AWD), compact SUV. Aside from an issue with mice, it's been flawless. I'm flabbergasted with modern prices and reliability.

@@anonymoususer5541 My dealer sends me an offer to order one every month and they call a few times a month. They're adding equipment on the vehicle which brings it up to $31.5K.

I have a 2019 Acura RDX , we have it almost 6 years and it has never been in the shop for repairs , the battery hasn't even died , a great reliable car
For the past 22 years I have been a Honda customer until 2 years ago when I lost my Civic hatchback in a car accident. The inventory in dealers were the worst because of covid. They had used Ridgelines sale them for the mid $30,000.. I ended up buying Nissan (Rogue Sport) that was on my budget
We had our 2nd son born last year and had to upgrade to a bigger car to haul family. Traded in our Accord for a 2024 Pilot LX and bought at MSRP $40000. Didn't need any options or other fancy stuff. (Heard they did away with the LX trim starting 2025 versions). But compared to other brands, in terms of cost and reliability, I think we were pretty lucky. So far no problems at all
What's sad is the 1988 honda civic hf could easily get 51 mpg 36 years ago. Don't get me wrong, I love honda and own a 2023 HRV but after 36 years the best they can do is 50 mpg

What do you expect to happen when the money supply in your country increases at the rate it did after covid? Funny people have such short memories, as if that stimmy money wouldnt come back to bite 😂
I'll always have a place in my heart for Honda. I was an avid motorcycle rider for about 60 years. My first 4 new Motorcycles were Honda's and I put about 200k miles on them collectively! I only changed to BMW because the Honda models got too big, like the Gold Wing, vs the BMW R100/RS and RT. I also liked the more traditional flat (boxer) twin. In 1979, I bought a 1978 'grey market' Belgum Police model R100/RS. I rode that for 20 years, and put 300,000 miles on it!! Very happy times. 8) --gary
I am seeing many more OLD cars on the road. This tells me people are driving old things they can fix because stuff is too computerized. People can't afford to fix stuff. Like you say, pay the payment OR fix it. Can't do both and now, can't even do ONE.
Since the 80's I was 100% all Honda and Acura. When Honda went to CVT and Turbo, I left the brand for Toyota Lexus. We bought a one owner 1999 Lexus RX300 in 2008 with 125k and my wife drove it for the last sixteen years and it now has 403k. I am ocd on maintenance and did it myself. when we went to replace it, a brand I never gave a second look kept rising to the top with a traditional automatic transmission and a naturally aspirated engine and tha was the Mazda CX-5. Having owned it for five months now I am thoroughly impressed and now a huge Mazda fan.
Even when Toyota unveiled the new Tundra with new motor, every knowledgeable car person knew it was garbage. They threw reliability out the window to meet stringent emissions regulations. No surprise here that the engines are blowing now..
I look at it as a return to normal. I worked at a dealership in the early 2000s, We had a lot of inventory. It's getting back to the way it should be. A choice of colors and options
As a CR-V Hybrid Touring owner for the past 1.5 years, let me clear up a few points. 1) Not a single issue has happened. 2) There's nothing "small" (as in small SUV) about the CR-V these days. It's rather big. 3) The prices are very good and well worth every penny. That's why it's one of the top-selling vehicles in the world. 4) The quality and materials are excellent. 5) I routinely get 600 miles per full fill-up. 6) Its driving characteristics are the best in its class. 7) It's worth every penny and more.
I had the valve train rebuilt at 20k miles because of knocking on my 22 ridgeline and then I went and traded it in as fast as I could knowing that its going to spit a rod any day.
I think Prices are the #1 reason they are selling around 16 Million cars and light trucks these days versus around 18 million a decade ago. They've priced people out of around 2 million new vehicles a year.
Salesperson at a Honda store here. Interesting to see what the headlines say, I guess it’s different depending on where you live, but Honda has been updated our inventory lists that a lot of cars that are still at the factory not having been shipped out yet, our actually here on the ground, as of a couple weeks ago. Beforehand we can see everyone’s inventory on the ground or in transit, but now we have to call to have other Honda’s verify the car is actually on the ground before we can do a trade or anything. Weird but my new car list is full of “Here” or “Not Here”, and that’s effecting the Day Supply.
Just took delivery yesterday of my 25 sienna. MSRP plus doc fee (I have bought from the dealership before below msrp). I didn’t go with odyssey because I used to be a tech at honda. The v6 engines without cylinder deactivation pre 2009 are amazing! The new ones we saw issues starting 2012. The cylinder deactivation destroys the reliability. So I went sienna.
@@jordanh4127 I don't get how Honda has issues with the earth dreams J35 the engine is so old they should have gotten the hang of it by now and then even took nearly a decade after the competition to add direct injection.
I have owned multiple Hondas and Acura’s over the years. After our last MDX we got tired of paying for gasoline and switched over to a Tesla Model 3 Performance. We liked the Tesla so much that we picked up a Model Y Performance as well. We save money on gas and maintenance and have no regrets. We still kept two ICE vehicles a BMW M3 and a Toyota 4Runner. The ICE vehicles do not get driven much And mostly sit in the garage.
Not a bad price on that CRV. We bought a new CRV in 2010. It was the same as you showed, but with leather interior. So an EX-L AWD model. It was about $27K+ back in 2010. An EX model AWD had an MSRP of $25K back in 2010. That is an increase of about $9K over 15 years. That is about a 2% per year increase in price. Not bad at all. Basically kept with normal inflation, and would have been much higher if it had gone up the amount of inflation we saw over the last couple of years.
When we went to buy a truck for my son, he fell in love with a used GMC Sierra. We "negotiated" for an hour and I finally told my son that we were leaving. We got iin our vehicle and began driving away. In the rear view mirror, I saw the salesmen running out the front, watching us drive away. A day later, they called and sold us the truck for the price we wanted. Again, in 2013, my daughter in law found a subaru forester that she just had to have. Again, I convinced her to walk away. The dealership asked her to come back in so we did. This time, only a day later, she found a much better equipped forester with less miles and a lower price that she got for less than what the dealership was trying to sell her the day before. ALWAYS be ready to walk away.

This company is still making $1,100 cars 5 days a week complete Matt Greensburg Honda plant in Indiana. And working every other Saturday till the end of the year.
In Canada, they want $50,000 plus for a Honda Accord out the door. Very few people in my country have that kind of money to spend on a new car. If car companies don't start making more affordable cars, they will all go bankrupt.
I work for small Honda store in N.C. For a couple of months or so, we have at least 30 vehicles on stop sale. I would imagine that may contribute to the increased day’s supply. CIAO!!!
It is very easy and comfortable to relate to what you are saying. As a marketing professional, I also believe in telling it like it is and find that the people that I work with value that. Thank you for some great advice!
European and Japanese cars have always been smaller than US models, with smaller engines, because petrol and diesel are way more expensive there. Plus distances are much smaller and the roads are more narrow due to lack of space. But it seems that the American idea of the big pickup truck is disappearing with less demand in the countryside and ev's becoming the norm in cities. It's a shame that the electricity needed for ev's still has to be generated by using fossil fuels, with mining of the necessary metals and minerals still dependant on oil and gas reserves. The last vestige of personal freedom is in our vehicles, which is why the powers that be want to take them away from you. There will be mass lay-offs in the next few years in the automotive business, with a trickle down effect on the whole economy. I lived through it in England in the 1970's and the price in terms of human suffering is enormous. Good luck with your business Brandon and may the gods be with y'all.
I know there’s a lot of people that are trashing Honda’s here. I have owned 5 Honda’s. I have a new 2024 Honda Civic Touring and it’s fantastic. Perfect? No…Too expensive…Yes. It’s smooth, peppy, and handles great! Grand slam for Honda.
I just sent my manual 2005 civic with 300k miles to junkyard today. I paid $2300 used around 2015. New cars have much higher insurance. Save me a lot in insurance throughout the years.
2013 Si Coupe 2.4L, V-tech with 240,000. Drives like new, maintained perfectly. Zero issues since new! We love our car. Why oh why won't Honda realize the public wants the upcoming Prelude to be a Mustang/Camaro class beater!!
My first car was a 1987 honda civic wagon i got for $300. Lasted a couple years too. If you dont mind wrenching im a big advocate for buying used cars and saving money. The new market is crazy expensive and the modern cars are built like crap compared to 20-30 years ago. I currently drive a 2000 crown Victoria with 100k miles i got for cheap. Has ac and all the features i expect
I have a 23 hrv exl, ive had it for 2 years, no problems at all. It has a K20 2.0 engine NA, no turbo 1.5 liter engine, port injections, no gdi, no stop and go. The only thing would be the cvt transmission. So far its been great.
I am in the market also for a new car but as many of us have said, I will keep what I have! Have a 2017 CRV 117,000 miles. It runs like the day I bought it. 0 issues so far. A new one at 35,000….no thanks. But check out Mitsubishi. Right now a loaded 36,000 dollar outlander is selling for 30,000 with 0.9 financing. Car is made in Japan and has 100,000 mile power train and 60,000 mile bumper to bumper! This could be worth a look!
Yeah I did my research. You are correct. The early models before the recent gen (2022) did have its share of problems but recent ratings have been very good. Not to mention 100,000 mile warranty. There is a dealership in Maryland that is doubling that warranty!!!! I sat in one the other day…..gotta say it was very upscale…the discounts were pretty insane up to 5 and 6 thousand off MSRP. I will be ready to buy in 2025 and will definitely keep this one on my short list especially if they keep up with the discounts. My Honda snd Toyota dealerships are not even close to that discount. Time will tell.
@@allanpontiere6177 I wasn't specifically saying these new ones are bad I think they have a Nissan Rogue chassis if I'm not mistaken. Mitsubishi's always had soft engines that would burn oil prematurely I remember those 3000Gt and diamante's V6 wouldn't last all that long
yep correct again. They are based on the Rogue. I will do more research before I buy which at this point I am in no hurry. Prices are still crazy high but the outlander is on my radar. As mentioned the SE and the SEL are very upscale and premium on interior. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe Brandon can do a video on Mitsubishi to see how they are doing in this ridiculous car market!
I had a Honda Insight that blew an engine. Honda claimed it wasnt a design flaw when at 80K miles it started using a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I had to replace the engine eventually at cost to me. About 6 months later I got a letter stating that they acknowledged an engine problem and would reimburse for replacements. However, I couldnt get the place where I got the engine from to issue a duplicate receipt so I never could get reimbursed. As you can imagine, Honda is no longer on my list of brands I would buy again since they wouldnt admit a design flaw and cost me a few thousand dollars.
My older Hondas were bullet proof. My 1st gen 98 CRV was incredible. My 88 Accord was the same. I left Honda in 2010 for Toyota and Subaru. I may return to Honda but only after the engine issues are fixed and the prices come down.
U def are giving them free promo cos I didn’t realize those new Honda civics cost tht much….I remember when I got my 2010 civic in 2012 & it was lik 14k😭
Was just there after my car was totaled. Was going for a base civic sport. They barely discounted the car. It came to around 30 grand. I walked out of the finance office at the signing after thinking about 30 grand for a civic that only gets 35mpg when I can get a 2025 Camry that has twice the power twice the room better reputation and gets 50mpg. Like get it together Honda.
I have a Honda. 2009 2dr Accord v6 with all the bells and whistles. Paid $5K for it 6 years ago l. Had to put new a/c in. It has run silently and perfectly through this day. Tax bill says it’s worth $1,324. Hoping I never have an accident. No way I could replace it’s value to me. Thinking it will easily outlive this 66 year old. Buy a New car? No thank you. The prices have left most of America behind. The industry needs a major correction.
Brandon, that's what my Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring listed for MSRP $33,000 but I added the factory spoiler for $650 dealer installed. The SP stands for Sport not Special, my car is Platinum White Pearl, you couldn't give me that awful looking loud color Boost Blue Pearl on that Civic you showed, that's why it's still sitting on the lot. The 2025 has a new front fascia & it lost it's fog lights, why I ordered my 2024 back early March, didn't want a 2025 or a Hybrid version!
Who the hell wants to buy a new car when even the former best brands in the business are having catastrophic engine and transmission failure . Cars have been around for 125 years and they continue to have issues wouldn`t you think these companies learn that if your product is junk no one wants it, so disappointing.
First Honda were small to compacts. They were well built . A good bang for you Buck. The Hondas built today have been cheapened. My 1997 Honda Del Sol Si which I bought new , is a strong running good looking car. It is a 5 speed manual with 224,000 miles. It has Multipoint fuel injection, front and rear double wishbone suspension, front and rear sway bars. It has no computer control screen. It get 30 mpg in town and 35mpg on the highway. Honda offers no small or compact cars today. My car is easy to park. Quality of Honda in the 1990’s was first rate. Now it is rated below BMW in reliability. The new Honda have been cheapened down It is sinking down to Korean car levels. Just read about the Kia and. the Hyndai reliability today. The prices are high and what you get is crap. Car payments are approaching $1000 a month . They are crap and depreciate like the crap they are.
I guess Honda never made enough money on the Fit, so they discontinued it. My 2019 Fit EX ($19K) is the most problem-free vehicle I have EVER owned. 117K miles into it (Grand Canyon, cross country trips, daily commutes, etc.), I've not had a SINGLE issue with this vehicle, unless you count the minor recall they had to change a fuel system component. I change my own vehicle fluids, and make minor repairs myself. But the only non-maintenance work I've had to do was replace a broken fog light (lense caught a rock), and reattach part of the bottom shround that caught on something and came loose. All in, vehicle has cost me 29 cents/mile (vehicle depreciation, insurance, fuel, parts, tires, maintenance, fees, etc.--everything.) Before this vehicle I'd never driven another one (new or used) more than 60K miles without SOMETHING neededing fixed.
these new emissions are really working!!! between new cars/trucks engines and trans grenades and 60 to 120k prices mean 45% less emissions!!!!! that's because they are either in the shop or on the lot!!!!
The sad aspect of corporate greed is that the workers who build these vehicles will pay the price by loosing their jobs, which in turn causes less car sales. Coming recession? Be prepared.
After looking for 2 years I finally broke down and purchased a certified '21 Pilot elite with 50 some k miles for $32k. Yes, I got hosed but it seemed like my '05 Buick (230k miles) was in the shop almost every month and used car inventory in Northern Nevada has been awful... + happy wife =happy life - so far so good 😊
@ Like I said, I know I got hosed😁. If you advertised someplace I probably would have found you. I called on every one advertised in Nevada + some in California.
As a used car dealer, running a buy here/pay here, why wouldn't you make a connection to several used car managers, and offer them buy bids on their lower dollar trade ins, instead of wasting your money at an auction?
So what is the Engine Failure Notice? The 1.5L Turbo in CRVs? The Hybrids? The news flash included a recall on Acuras too? Which ones? The only maker that increasing sales is Mazda! At the expense of Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc.
Sticker prices are misleading because when you get the final price with or without discounts you need to add the doc fee and insurance and taxes. A 35 grand vehicle can easily jump to 40 grand. People can''t afford these vehicles, even the lowest price cars and suv's.
Original owners of 3 Honda vehicles. 1997 Honda Accord 220,000k miles. 2009 Honda Crv 199,000k miles, and a 2019 Honda Ridgeline 48k miles with several recalls and one pending recall. I will not be buying anymore Honda vehicles. We are done. First two Hondas were bullet proof. The Ridgeline I am learning to HATE.
I have a 2018 CRV and a 2017 Ram 1500, and I'm shocked to tell you the Ram of all things has been more reliable that the Honda. Bought both of them new
Bought a 2018 CRV 2.4L 2WD LX. MSRP was $25,125.00. A base model, no add Ons', has 38K + /- miles. Will be a forever vehicle. Today, overpriced, extremely poor sub parts and assembly. Today, buy the junk and wait for recall notices to arrive. Not for me.
I bought a kia sportage a few years ago because the CRV was way more expensive. At 35k the CRV is now pretty close in price to the kia, nissan, and the dmn equinox. I suspect the price of those other cars is going to have to come way down now.
Wages have not raised to the level where a $35K starter car is affordable to the average buyer.

I have owned more than a dozen Honda products over the years (a few Acura's included), and for the longest time you just did the required maintenance, changed the oil more often than they recommended (totally my choice), and NEVER had an issue with any of them, ever. This sure isn't true anymore. And when something goes wrong, it's not something cheap and inconsequential, it's the damn engine or transmission (or what they call a transmission now). Makes me wish I bought a few extra Accords ten years ago and put them in storage. I'm old enough now that when I bought my 2020 I was thinking this could be my last car (not that I think I'm dying, they just used to last forever). Now I'm not so sure, and I don't really want to be dealing with major problems once the powertrain warranty expires. So damn sad, you never could have convinced long ago this would be the way Honda would be today. I purposely avoided the BMW's and MB's that friends bought because I had no interest in impressing anyone (other than myself) and I wanted the bulletproof reliability. Things are supposed to get better, not worse.
@@bradtradesit seems Honda and Toyota are just like BMW and MB these days , not reliable, and cost an arm and a leg to repair …
The answer for which manufacturers are building reliable products is….None of them
Honda has not been a reliable brand for a while. They stopped caring over a decade ago. Mazda is good right now.
Always be willing to walk away. Do not invest emotions in a vehicle purchase. There is always another vehicle at another dealership. But be realistic about what you can afford. Pay cash.
I need a BMW 7 series with special order red leather. There are only 10-15 for sale now in the entire US.
@@rachelgreen1368you want it, you don't need it.
@@rachelgreen1368 You don't "need" it, you want a BMW 7 series. If you can afford it, get it, do you big dawg.
It boils down to greed. What we’re seeing is a tipping of scales- quality versus sale price. Manufacture greed has come to fruition. It will take years to reverse this perception. Serves em right
You don't understand the ceo needs his 5 million dollar bouns
@@houstonraver834you don't understand CEO bonuses are meaningless. They made 4.2 million cars last year, so a 5 million bonus would add $1.20 to each car. Where does the rest of the 10,000-25,000 per car price bump go?
I'm sitting in my Honda watching this video
Heeey me too lol. 2017 Civic Si.
Good luck!
I am still waiting for a part for a safety recall. The recall was issued back in February.
@@jtodd0221 I think we are good, 2017 Civic Ex-T. It seems to be mostly the new models that are affected. I still can't believe that Honda is falling of like this. Wow.
Quit. Might blow up
My next-door neighbor works for an insurance claims department, and he handles auto warranty claims. Right now, the three biggest he is getting are Honda, Hyundai, and Kia. He talked about what is going on with the Engines and the seals that are all failing in the cars. He said on Hyundai and Kia, if you get one, do not get anything with a turbo. On Honda, the cars are listed, and it's all Seals throughout the engine that are failing. He said that Honda is so bad that they are sending new engines instead of fixing the issues with the seals due to so many cars.
Honda is not sending engines nor is the warranty/insurance company paying for an engine when all it needs is seals. You might have misinterpreted something there.
Toyota is not even using head gaskets any longer. They are using GLUE. What could possibly go wrong?
Insurance companies deal with "Warranty claims?"
New cars are still much too expensive. Guess I'll have to keep my old car until the wheels fall off.
When the wheels fall off, fix it and keep on driving!
Same here 5/11/13 civics, don't plan on getting rid of them anytime soon.
My Honda dealership in Kelowna had 75 cars last year. I checked online the other day , they had almost 300.
Seems like a good time to look at Mazda's. You should do a walk around at some Mazda dealers to see.
Or Subaru.
Im looking at both...i like the CX-30, 50 and the Suburu Crosstrek
I have a 2018 CX5 and I love that thing
Just do not get Cx5 (Any trim) I had Cx5 2023 and traded in with BMW X3 2024, the only reason is that it is still using old infotainment system that goes back to 2017 I guess , I noticed this comparing to my CX30. for example you can NOT forward music tracks with volume knob , you will not see tire pressures which you can do in CX30, When vipers are in Automatic there is no light indicator that it is in Automatic which is annoying at nights, There is no Automatic high beam button , All these are fixed new series. in terms of cabin quality in some areas it beats BMW , I like quality and feeling of volume knob in my Cx30 much more than X3. Mazda really offer premium vehicle, on my Cx30 2022 we have 53K and there was no single issue. it drives like new and I can say very sporty. Transmission tuning on cx30 is way better than CX5.
Just bought a CX-30 really nice car. Reliable 2.5l 6speed non turbo no cvt. Cheaper maintenance and operation costs. Insurance seems to be lower than the others. Test drove a new Nissan. Didn't even feel like a new car. Honda builds a nice reliable and safe car. If you can afford the insurance and payments.
you just can’t win this car game , you want to save few bucks , you buy used , and then it needs repairs , or you go get yourself in debt to get a new car , thinking you won’t have any problems , and next thing you know , you have problems … what to do ? You can lease I guess , you’ll end up with high payments , but you don’t have to worry about fixing the car … I don’t know , it sucks
leases are not always high payments in todays market. I agree leasing is not the best deal, but as long as you make sure you get a reasonable mileage it's not too bad if you care about not having to pay for repairs.
@@Xander1Sheridanleases are often the way to go. You can pay $250 a month with zero due for a car line a civic for three years. That's $9000 every three years. Or $36k for 12 years. No maintenance, no stress
In 2017, we paid $21K without negotiation for a brand new, moderately equipped, 4WD (not AWD), compact SUV. Aside from an issue with mice, it's been flawless. I'm flabbergasted with modern prices and reliability.
What SUV would that be?
Local Toyota dealership has a bunch of Camrys but they are $34K to $42K. I'm looking for one under $30K and it doesn't have to be a hybrid. I'll just keep my old Camrys.
All 2025 Camrys are hybrid only. You can order a 2025 Camry LE for under 30K.
@@anonymoususer5541 Is that MSRP or all taxes and fees included?
Keeping my 2011 with 220k miles on it. Still drives great and have no ambition to even think of getting a car right now or anytime close.
@@anonymoususer5541 My dealer sends me an offer to order one every month and they call a few times a month. They're adding equipment on the vehicle which brings it up to $31.5K. They were adding stuff to get it up to $33.5K earlier this year (or it was market adjustment). I don't really like ordering and waiting. I like to walk around the lot and pick.
Same here😂 I have 3 V8 in my driveway I need a V6 for around $30,000
I come here because there is never clickbait or hyperbole.
Nope, just constant black pills...
I switched from Honda to Mazda ,, 3 years ago for a daily car and I am very happy. These days Hondas are also very overpriced for features they offer. Will never get to CVT again.
I owned a Accord for 8 yrs..
I also owned a CRV for 7 yrs...
Im ready to switch to Mazda...want something diffrent.

From the USAtoday article
Glad you picked Honda in this visit. In the market for a used 2023 CRV, and it gave me an idea what new 24-25s are MSRPing. Too rich for my blood.
no one should buy a new car unless you want some limited or rare model. There are always used car bargains, you just have to look for them.
I have a 2019 Acura RDX , we have it almost 6 years and it has never been in the shop for repairs , the battery hasn't even died , a great reliable car
For the past 22 years I have been a Honda customer until 2 years ago when I lost my Civic hatchback in a car accident. The inventory in dealers were the worst because of covid. They had used Ridgelines sale them for the mid $30,000..
I ended up buying Nissan (Rogue Sport) that was on my budget
We had our 2nd son born last year and had to upgrade to a bigger car to haul family. Traded in our Accord for a 2024 Pilot LX and bought at MSRP $40000. Didn't need any options or other fancy stuff. (Heard they did away with the LX trim starting 2025 versions). But compared to other brands, in terms of cost and reliability, I think we were pretty lucky. So far no problems at all
I love Honda vehicles! I have a 24 Accord hybrid and my wife has a 25 Civic hybrid Touring. Love them! Civic actually gets 50 miles a gallon.
What's sad is the 1988 honda civic hf could easily get 51 mpg 36 years ago. Don't get me wrong, I love honda and own a 2023 HRV but after 36 years the best they can do is 50 mpg
New Honda Civics should be $15,000 to 18,000 and New Accords $20,000 to 23,000.. Anything more is ripping the consumers off..
Used Hondas are worth more than that...a product is worth what someones willing to pay
@@jimmyjay689 Only because people "think" the vehicle is an asset and not a liability. People buy based on the payment not the actual total cost of the vehicle. Commercialism at its best..
2007 is the year you looking for to travel back to.
What do you expect to happen when the money supply in your country increases at the rate it did after covid? Funny people have such short memories, as if that stimmy money wouldnt come back to bite 😂
You can thank your government for printing cash or also known as inflation.
It's definitely good to assume the problems will persist. It will take a few years till we know for sure that the new engines are good.
I'll always have a place in my heart for Honda. I was an avid motorcycle rider for about 60 years. My first 4 new Motorcycles were Honda's and I put about 200k miles on them collectively! I only changed to BMW because the Honda models got too big, like the Gold Wing, vs the BMW R100/RS and RT. I also liked the more traditional flat (boxer) twin. In 1979, I bought a 1978 'grey market' Belgum Police model R100/RS. I rode that for 20 years, and put 300,000 miles on it!! Very happy times. 8) --gary
I am seeing many more OLD cars on the road. This tells me people are driving old things they can fix because stuff is too computerized. People can't afford to fix stuff. Like you say, pay the payment OR fix it. Can't do both and now, can't even do ONE.
Since the 80's I was 100% all Honda and Acura. When Honda went to CVT and Turbo, I left the brand for Toyota Lexus. We bought a one owner 1999 Lexus RX300 in 2008 with 125k and my wife drove it for the last sixteen years and it now has 403k. I am ocd on maintenance and did it myself. when we went to replace it, a brand I never gave a second look kept rising to the top with a traditional automatic transmission and a naturally aspirated engine and tha was the Mazda CX-5. Having owned it for five months now I am thoroughly impressed and now a huge Mazda fan.
mazda is awesome.
Even when Toyota unveiled the new Tundra with new motor, every knowledgeable car person knew it was garbage. They threw reliability out the window to meet stringent emissions regulations. No surprise here that the engines are blowing now..
I look at it as a return to normal. I worked at a dealership in the early 2000s, We had a lot of inventory. It's getting back to the way it should be. A choice of colors and options
As a CR-V Hybrid Touring owner for the past 1.5 years, let me clear up a few points.
1) Not a single issue has happened.
2) There's nothing "small" (as in small SUV) about the CR-V these days. It's rather big.
3) The prices are very good and well worth every penny. That's why it's one of the top-selling vehicles in the world.
4) The quality and materials are excellent.
5) I routinely get 600 miles per full fill-up.
6) Its driving characteristics are the best in its class.
7) It's worth every penny and more.
1.5 years does not prove any longevity.
I was gonna get a Pilot last year, but 60k for an Elite was just too much. I got a used Mercedes. I may get a Honda next, though. They make sense.
I had the valve train rebuilt at 20k miles because of knocking on my 22 ridgeline and then I went and traded it in as fast as I could knowing that its going to spit a rod any day.
I think Prices are the #1 reason they are selling around 16 Million cars and light trucks these days versus around 18 million a decade ago. They've priced people out of around 2 million new vehicles a year.
Salesperson at a Honda store here. Interesting to see what the headlines say, I guess it’s different depending on where you live, but Honda has been updated our inventory lists that a lot of cars that are still at the factory not having been shipped out yet, our actually here on the ground, as of a couple weeks ago. Beforehand we can see everyone’s inventory on the ground or in transit, but now we have to call to have other Honda’s verify the car is actually on the ground before we can do a trade or anything. Weird but my new car list is full of “Here” or “Not Here”, and that’s effecting the Day Supply.
Just took delivery yesterday of my 25 sienna. MSRP plus doc fee (I have bought from the dealership before below msrp). I didn’t go with odyssey because I used to be a tech at honda. The v6 engines without cylinder deactivation pre 2009 are amazing! The new ones we saw issues starting 2012. The cylinder deactivation destroys the reliability. So I went sienna.
@@jordanh4127 I don't get how Honda has issues with the earth dreams J35 the engine is so old they should have gotten the hang of it by now and then even took nearly a decade after the competition to add direct injection.
@ search Honda VCM issues. They are plagued with them. Piston rings, lifters etc. it is all to get around Emissions
I have owned multiple Hondas and Acura’s over the years. After our last MDX we got tired of paying for gasoline and switched over to a Tesla Model 3 Performance. We liked the Tesla so much that we picked up a Model Y Performance as well. We save money on gas and maintenance and have no regrets. We still kept two ICE vehicles a BMW M3 and a Toyota 4Runner. The ICE vehicles do not get driven much And mostly sit in the garage.
Not a bad price on that CRV. We bought a new CRV in 2010. It was the same as you showed, but with leather interior. So an EX-L AWD model. It was about $27K+ back in 2010. An EX model AWD had an MSRP of $25K back in 2010. That is an increase of about $9K over 15 years. That is about a 2% per year increase in price. Not bad at all. Basically kept with normal inflation, and would have been much higher if it had gone up the amount of inflation we saw over the last couple of years.
When we went to buy a truck for my son, he fell in love with a used GMC Sierra. We "negotiated" for an hour and I finally told my son that we were leaving. We got iin our vehicle and began driving away. In the rear view mirror, I saw the salesmen running out the front, watching us drive away. A day later, they called and sold us the truck for the price we wanted. Again, in 2013, my daughter in law found a subaru forester that she just had to have. Again, I convinced her to walk away. The dealership asked her to come back in so we did. This time, only a day later, she found a much better equipped forester with less miles and a lower price that she got for less than what the dealership was trying to sell her the day before. ALWAYS be ready to walk away.
Screw the new cars
I’ve bought used/preowns & still drive them all right now
2016 Acura RLX; 2014 TSX Sedan; 2012 TSX Wagon; 2011 TSX Sedan; 2012 Honda Odessey
Cheaper insurance & maintenance
Listen to ur logic...the same shit applies to brand new cars...only u enjoy 3, 4 yrs of no worries and a brand new car...also did u say less maintenance on an older car? Lol..no sir
I’m driving a 2000 Honda accord 218,000 miles and a 2014 Honda Ridgeline 164,000 miles paid for and both running great I won’t ever buy a new car again! Mine are very reliable and parts are a lot cheaper than payments !
I’m on my 3rd Honda, around 100k miles on each, never had an issue other than a trunk piston, replaced it for like 50 bucks.
2004 Acura TSX 114,000 miles
1990 Toyota Pickup 191,000
They run great.
No car payment
Cheap insurance.
This company is still making $1,100 cars 5 days a week complete Matt Greensburg Honda plant in Indiana. And working every other Saturday till the end of the year.
The 1.5T motor is the biggest reason most people don't want a Honda right now. Also, a $35k CRV with that engine is criminal.
In Canada, they want $50,000 plus for a Honda Accord out the door.
Very few people in my country have that kind of money to spend on a new car.
If car companies don't start making more affordable cars, they will all go bankrupt.
I work for small Honda store in N.C. For a couple of months or so, we have at least 30 vehicles on stop sale. I would imagine that may contribute to the increased day’s supply. CIAO!!!
It is very easy and comfortable to relate to what you are saying. As a marketing professional, I also believe in telling it like it is and find that the people that I work with value that. Thank you for some great advice!
European and Japanese cars have always been smaller than US models, with smaller engines, because petrol and diesel are way more expensive there. Plus distances are much smaller and the roads are more narrow due to lack of space. But it seems that the American idea of the big pickup truck is disappearing with less demand in the countryside and ev's becoming the norm in cities. It's a shame that the electricity needed for ev's still has to be generated by using fossil fuels, with mining of the necessary metals and minerals still dependant on oil and gas reserves. The last vestige of personal freedom is in our vehicles, which is why the powers that be want to take them away from you. There will be mass lay-offs in the next few years in the automotive business, with a trickle down effect on the whole economy. I lived through it in England in the 1970's and the price in terms of human suffering is enormous. Good luck with your business Brandon and may the gods be with y'all.
EVs are sh3t
I know there’s a lot of people that are trashing Honda’s here. I have owned 5 Honda’s. I have a new 2024 Honda Civic Touring and it’s fantastic. Perfect? No…Too expensive…Yes. It’s smooth, peppy, and handles great! Grand slam for Honda.
Engine problems? And going with cvt transmissions? Also raising there prices? 🤦♂️
I just sent my manual 2005 civic with 300k miles to junkyard today. I paid $2300 used around 2015.
New cars have much higher insurance. Save me a lot in insurance throughout the years.
I had a 1979 CVCC. Loved that car
I drive a 2005 Honda Element, 220K miles, still runs like new. Nothing and I mean NOTHING beats a $0 car payment.
2013 Si Coupe 2.4L, V-tech with 240,000. Drives like new, maintained perfectly. Zero issues since new! We love our car. Why oh why won't Honda realize the public wants the upcoming Prelude to be a Mustang/Camaro class beater!!
My first car was a 1987 honda civic wagon i got for $300. Lasted a couple years too. If you dont mind wrenching im a big advocate for buying used cars and saving money. The new market is crazy expensive and the modern cars are built like crap compared to 20-30 years ago. I currently drive a 2000 crown Victoria with 100k miles i got for cheap. Has ac and all the features i expect
Much better colours for new vehicles now, about time.
I have a 23 hrv exl, ive had it for 2 years, no problems at all. It has a K20 2.0 engine NA, no turbo 1.5 liter engine, port injections, no gdi, no stop and go. The only thing would be the cvt transmission. So far its been great.
We got one Feb2023 25kmiles. Excellent so far, another 20hp would kill CR-V sales.
I am in the market also for a new car but as many of us have said, I will keep what I have! Have a 2017 CRV 117,000 miles. It runs like the day I bought it. 0 issues so far. A new one at 35,000….no thanks.
But check out Mitsubishi. Right now a loaded 36,000 dollar outlander is selling for 30,000 with 0.9 financing. Car is made in Japan and has 100,000 mile power train and 60,000 mile bumper to bumper! This could be worth a look!
Mitsubishi's never had great engines
Yeah I did my research. You are correct. The early models before the recent gen (2022) did have its share of problems but recent ratings have been very good. Not to mention 100,000 mile warranty. There is a dealership in Maryland that is doubling that warranty!!!! I sat in one the other day…..gotta say it was very upscale…the discounts were pretty insane up to 5 and 6 thousand off MSRP. I will be ready to buy in 2025 and will definitely keep this one on my short list especially if they keep up with the discounts. My Honda snd Toyota dealerships are not even close to that discount. Time will tell.
@@allanpontiere6177 I wasn't specifically saying these new ones are bad I think they have a Nissan Rogue chassis if I'm not mistaken. Mitsubishi's always had soft engines that would burn oil prematurely I remember those 3000Gt and diamante's V6 wouldn't last all that long
yep correct again. They are based on the Rogue. I will do more research before I buy which at this point I am in no hurry. Prices are still crazy high but the outlander is on my radar. As mentioned the SE and the SEL are very upscale and premium on interior. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe Brandon can do a video on Mitsubishi to see how they are doing in this ridiculous car market!
Unfortunately if you live in a rural area going to another dealer is not always an option. Imagine that only works in a highly populated area.
I had a Honda Insight that blew an engine. Honda claimed it wasnt a design flaw when at 80K miles it started using a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I had to replace the engine eventually at cost to me. About 6 months later I got a letter stating that they acknowledged an engine problem and would reimburse for replacements. However, I couldnt get the place where I got the engine from to issue a duplicate receipt so I never could get reimbursed. As you can imagine, Honda is no longer on my list of brands I would buy again since they wouldnt admit a design flaw and cost me a few thousand dollars.
Still driving my $600 car I bought in 2018.
I bought my 2022 accord sport special edition 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. I’m glad it’s not on the recall list.
My older Hondas were bullet proof. My 1st gen 98 CRV was incredible. My 88 Accord was the same. I left Honda in 2010 for Toyota and Subaru. I may return to Honda but only after the engine issues are fixed and the prices come down.
Still driving my 2012 Civic LX with 315k miles. Still runs and drives great.
The auto industry is in upheaval. This is not ending anytime soon.
Honda: rolls in 10 of each of brand new 2025 models
This channel: oh my God, that’s so much inventory. What are they thinking?
Wasn't it over last week and weeks before and months before that..
You're forgetting the stop sale recalls on steering racks and high pressure fuel pumps ballooning dealer inventory.
U def are giving them free promo cos I didn’t realize those new Honda civics cost tht much….I remember when I got my 2010 civic in 2012 & it was lik 14k😭
I have an open recall on my 2019 Ridgeline for fuel pump failure. Going in 13 months and no parts
Was just there after my car was totaled. Was going for a base civic sport. They barely discounted the car. It came to around 30 grand. I walked out of the finance office at the signing after thinking about 30 grand for a civic that only gets 35mpg when I can get a 2025 Camry that has twice the power twice the room better reputation and gets 50mpg. Like get it together Honda.
Cheaper than a jeep, but if the engines are no good, what does it matter... Thanks for the video Brandon!
Was at the Honda dealer looking at a used car and their lot was packed with new cars, and used for that matter. Fort Worth Tx
My local Honda dealer still has the extra $3,000 market adjustment. I just laughed and walked away.
When you show the Factory Sticker, include the dealer mark up’s. I’ve noticed you purposely do not.
When I show the dealer markups people cry that I need to just show msrp... Can't win with you guys haha
I have a Honda. 2009 2dr Accord v6 with all the bells and whistles. Paid $5K for it 6 years ago l. Had to put new a/c in. It has run silently and perfectly through this day. Tax bill says it’s worth $1,324. Hoping I never have an accident. No way I could replace it’s value to me. Thinking it will easily outlive this 66 year old. Buy a New car? No thank you. The prices have left most of America behind. The industry needs a major correction.
Brandon, that's what my Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring listed for MSRP $33,000 but I added the factory spoiler for $650 dealer installed. The SP stands for Sport not Special, my car is Platinum White Pearl, you couldn't give me that awful looking loud color Boost Blue Pearl on that Civic you showed, that's why it's still sitting on the lot. The 2025 has a new front fascia & it lost it's fog lights, why I ordered my 2024 back early March, didn't want a 2025 or a Hybrid version!
Bring back the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit and Chev Spark.
still driving my '01 integra gsr- waiting for them to make something i like better
Sadly those days are gone ! Toyota , Honda make disposable cars, not like the early 2000’s and 90’s!
I miss my old Integra Type R. I wish that I had kept it.
Who the hell wants to buy a new car when even the former best brands in the business are having catastrophic engine and transmission failure . Cars have been around for 125 years and they continue to have issues wouldn`t you think these companies learn that if your product is junk no one wants it, so disappointing.
I still drive my 2006 Element. Never had a problem with it. 88k miles so far.
First Honda were small to compacts. They were well built . A good bang for you Buck. The Hondas built today have been cheapened.
My 1997 Honda Del Sol Si which I bought new , is a strong running good looking car. It is a 5 speed manual with 224,000 miles.
It has Multipoint fuel injection, front and rear double wishbone suspension, front and rear sway bars. It has no computer control
screen. It get 30 mpg in town and 35mpg on the highway. Honda offers no small or compact cars today. My car is easy to park.
Quality of Honda in the 1990’s was first rate. Now it is rated below BMW in reliability. The new Honda have been cheapened down
It is sinking down to Korean car levels. Just read about the Kia and. the Hyndai reliability today. The prices are high and what you
get is crap. Car payments are approaching $1000 a month . They are crap and depreciate like the crap they are.
I hope this is the end of the Station Wagon’s with black rims.
I like wagons...black wheels...meh
Checking in at 2:40... 35k for a 1.5L Engine is the kicker... Thats no power at all. Baby motor asking for all the money.
I guess Honda never made enough money on the Fit, so they discontinued it. My 2019 Fit EX ($19K) is the most problem-free vehicle I have EVER owned. 117K miles into it (Grand Canyon, cross country trips, daily commutes, etc.), I've not had a SINGLE issue with this vehicle, unless you count the minor recall they had to change a fuel system component. I change my own vehicle fluids, and make minor repairs myself. But the only non-maintenance work I've had to do was replace a broken fog light (lense caught a rock), and reattach part of the bottom shround that caught on something and came loose. All in, vehicle has cost me 29 cents/mile (vehicle depreciation, insurance, fuel, parts, tires, maintenance, fees, etc.--everything.) Before this vehicle I'd never driven another one (new or used) more than 60K miles without SOMETHING neededing fixed.
these new emissions are really working!!! between new cars/trucks engines and trans grenades and 60 to 120k prices mean 45% less emissions!!!!! that's because they are either in the shop or on the lot!!!!
The sad aspect of corporate greed is that the workers who build these vehicles will pay the price by loosing their jobs, which in turn causes less car sales. Coming recession? Be prepared.
After looking for 2 years I finally broke down and purchased a certified '21 Pilot elite with 50 some k miles for $32k. Yes, I got hosed but it seemed like my '05 Buick (230k miles) was in the shop almost every month and used car inventory in Northern Nevada has been awful... + happy wife =happy life - so far so good 😊
For 2 years 😮
You could’ve bought a 2022, less miles, and cpo at my store for less money
@ Like I said, I know I got hosed😁. If you advertised someplace I probably would have found you. I called on every one advertised in Nevada + some in California.
As a used car dealer, running a buy here/pay here, why wouldn't you make a connection to several used car managers, and offer them buy bids on their lower dollar trade ins, instead of wasting your money at an auction?
So what is the Engine Failure Notice? The 1.5L Turbo in CRVs? The Hybrids? The news flash included a recall on Acuras too? Which ones? The only maker that increasing sales is Mazda! At the expense of Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc.
Sticker prices are misleading because when you get the final price with or without discounts you need to add the doc fee and insurance and taxes. A 35 grand vehicle can easily jump to 40 grand. People can''t afford these vehicles, even the lowest price cars and suv's.
I appreciate your advice about buying a new car. We are the market for Toyota Grand Hilander
Original owners of 3 Honda vehicles. 1997 Honda Accord 220,000k miles. 2009 Honda Crv 199,000k miles, and a 2019 Honda Ridgeline 48k miles with several recalls and one pending recall. I will not be buying anymore Honda vehicles. We are done. First two Hondas were bullet proof. The Ridgeline I am learning to HATE.
You sure do an outstanding job at this commentary.
I have a Toyota Tacoma 2017 whit only 72k miles on it and no plans on buying another Toyota pickup truck for at least 10 years I hope 🤞💙💙💕
5 years ago CR v was 25k for an EX awd?
I have a 2018 CRV and a 2017 Ram 1500, and I'm shocked to tell you the Ram of all things has been more reliable that the Honda. Bought both of them new
What is happening to all car makers. They seem to be having the same problem that boeing is. Quality control.
Bought a 2018 CRV 2.4L 2WD LX. MSRP was $25,125.00. A base model, no add Ons', has 38K + /- miles. Will be a forever vehicle. Today, overpriced, extremely poor sub parts and assembly. Today, buy the junk and wait for recall notices to arrive. Not for me.
I bought a kia sportage a few years ago because the CRV was way more expensive. At 35k the CRV is now pretty close in price to the kia, nissan, and the dmn equinox. I suspect the price of those other cars is going to have to come way down now.
