This car has been absolute 'gold'! It's a 'point-n-shoot' vehicle - very, very reliable. In the five years I've owned it, I've only done routine maintenance, tires, battery, oil/filter, pads. It's coming up for the timing belt/water pump service. My brother works for Honda America and he says that generation was indeed the best made, especially the '91 - '92. Theory is, during that time we were at war with Desert Storm and car sales were down so the assembly lines were slowed down considerably, allowing time to get things 'right' the first time. I don't know...

As far as the 126, I like the car. That's the one anybody thinks about when "Mereceds Benz" is mentioned - it's classic - but it's still (for me) an 'older' Benz. I want to update to a newer body, that's all.
