weyreypey:this is what separates the men from the boys,my 05 Acura rl is coming closer to a million kilometers still on original V6 engine and transmission ,no oil burning or strange noises from the transmission,to say that freelander engines pack up at 10,000km is sacrilege,even Honda motorcycle and scooter engines at 10,000km they are just getting warmed up. |

okoroemeka:Mercedes Benz is just getting into the break-in period at 10,000 km (exaggeration) |

weyreypey: My brother do not let your bias becloud your judgment. You are talking about a car so damn reliable that someone like me sold my first. Realised my mistake and went ahead to buy same as a replacement. There is no car that does not have faults. They are after all machines. But this particular car keeps you moving with little or no visit to a mechanic |

Philadelphia:I believe u bro. We are on the same page. But just like wrist watches are supposed to tell same time, some are faster over time. That's what I mean by calibration. All speedometer clocks are not manufactured by one person. Even if they were, there's still small room for error. Secondly bring 2 identical cars, fit one with bigger tyres, one will be faster if both speedometers are reading 100km. Modified: A speedometer reads the amount of revolutions your tires are making, not how far you are traveling. Therefore you are actually traveling faster than your speedometer says when you have larger tires than stock, and slower than you're speedometer says if you have smaller tires. 5 Likes |

Nazgul:2007 to 2011 is the generation. However, you can always convert the dashboard to leather. It'll not only beautify it but also prevent the harsh melting. |

Whitecoal711:hahahahaha....brother I'm from the south also o,but based in the north, so tribalism is not even on the board here,back to my point,I noticed a lot a lot of Hondas up north,in very very good conditions and working perfectly smooth,I even saw 1975 accord running good sometimes ago,it was shocking but true,when I had a convo with some car gurus here,I get to understand that one of the reasons Southerners don't like Honda is mostly due to their bad roads and secondly most of their kazeems seem not to fancy fixing it,but trust me guys here are very very good in fixing cars,not just Honda, even other cars,and true you find even vintage cars on a daily basis working perfectly,both on and offline 3 in every 5 person condemning the Honda brand is from the south,so its obvious they have special dislike for the brand, when compared to Toyota, Benz and Lexus. 3 Likes 1 Share |
