"Real world" American car experience: 75,000 miles, three failed transmissions, four failed rotors, two replaced tie-rods, failed A/C, failed power locks, 9 recalls, fraud committed at two different dealerships.

"Real world" Honda car experience: 500,000 miles driven across 5 different cars, relpaced only wear items, < 2 recalls combined.

A fool with a tool (or in this case, a "research" company) is still a fool.
