Interested in seeing what everyone picks.

Which car will go longer without needing a major repair between a Honda and a Ford vehicle? Didn't want to make it car to car specific, but if you feel the need, you could line up something along the lines of a Escort to a Civic (looking at older cars to gauge more mileage, but if you feel you need a modern comparasin, then you can do Focus to a Civic). Major repair is considered to be headgasket, rear main seal or something mechanically large to go wrong (not really a wear item like the battery or tires). Also, which will go longer before it finally dies (ending mileage). I am figuring the answer will be the same brand vehicle for both, but if not, please post it.

This was started because the last thread like this on was GM instead of Ford, and being on a GM board I did not want it biased.

*NOTE:

If you don't know, then please don't vote.

 

This board is still going to be domestic biased, though probably a few less people biased toward ford than GM.

 

This is pretty stupid because there are to many variables. Area we talking 80s, 90s, or todays models? Are we talking about including or excluding regular maintenance? What are we considering minor vs major? Do a bunch of minor things count as 1 major?

Also nobody can vote because nobody can know for sure. Find another way to prove your right, because this isn't going to solve anything.

 

Why is this in the automotive news forum?

 

Certain civics likes to eat CV joints at around 80,000 miles, others Honda's ate transmissions at around 100,000 miles. I see quite a few Civic's for sale on Craigslist daily that need engines. Making a comparison such as this is not really possible. I've had several "ünreliable" Ford models last over 200,000 miles and were still going strong when I got rid of them.

 

holy ****, what is next

what will last longer A Yugo Or Honda?


are you just going to post threads till you finally get the result you are looking for?

 

are these supposed to be public perception polls or what?

 

I vote for the next poll; "which will last longer? Dusenberg or Honda"

For the last poll I vote "which will last longer? Toyota or the Universe"

 

no, these are polls to trying back up what his own opinion is.

 

I owned a ford tempo so my opinion is biased. Worst car ever.

 

Who keeps cars long enough for major problems anyway?

having a real job FTMFW

 

How many more pointless polls are you going to make?

 

as many as it takes for honda win.

 

My plan is to either buy them new or buy them old (really old). Once a car has reached a certain vintage, its flaws are outweighed by its character.

 

they actually say that once a car has reached a certian age everything that will break has already done so and the rest of the car should just hold together with no more problems
