I got your point about half way though your first post colorado and think it is funny.

I love this truck even though it is falling appart around me.

Nuck

What I find is funny is that I despise Dodge...never owned one never will. I personally think they're the biggest piece of crap, but that's my opinion. I had problems with a Nissan I owned in the (86 Sentra to be exact) but I'm not hammering down on Nissan cause of that. I liked my Tundra, but I'd probably stay away from them in the future. I don't like Ford or GM but there might be a chance I'd own one in the future. What I'm getting at, as has probably already been said in a different way (or maybe point blank) is that regardless of who makes your vehicle, there are going to be problems with it. I actually LOVE Honda (never had a problem with the ones I owned and neither has my family) but they unfortunately don't make trucks (atleast not for the US/North American market). I lean towards owning a foreign made vehicle, but I'm not anti-American. I've seen too many posts lately that people slam on Nissan for the problems that have arisen with the Titan. While I'm not attempting to defend them (I have qualms with the radio like EVERYONE else), they're still going to be on par with any other car maker. Man made products are alwasy going to have an imperfection....only difference is that I might never have the problems that alot of people here are having. They're gonna think its a lemon when in actuality it may not be....they're just the kind of people that like to fuss about every little thing. Yeah I purchased a $27k truck and I expect it not to have problems, but I still know they're gonna have them somewhere along the line, big or small. Anyway, that's just my two cents worth. Enjoying my Titan....just gotta keep from running it into things LOL

I totally agree. IF Honda made a full size V8 PU, I would not own the Titan (most likely). My Honda salseman tried to convince me that "Honda is making a truck, it will be out next year" LOL, I told him that the ugly SUT thing is not a truck! Who knows, maybe when the Titan is up for retirement Honda will have something

Yup, the quality of the interior is a little lacking, and the radio is, by far, not the best I have ever owned, BUT the truck is a pleasure to drive, looks great and hauls @$$. I love it!

Tongue-in-cheek??

Surely, everyone will understand and a good time will be had by all."

Gee, I got it right away, thought it kind of cute!. Pride of ownership runs deep on this forum!

You would be a damn fool if you bought a honda. Their QC is in the CRAPPER. www.v6performance.net if you want to see.

I have a 7th gen 2003 loaded accord sitting in front of my place waiting to sell the PIECE OF CRAP. I will never, ever buy another Honda product again...if you'd like I could give you the laundry list, not the least of which was the recent recall of pretty much ALL 03-04 V6 Honda trannies....yeah...gj

Honda's are good cars - they're no different than anyone else. Once in awhile a bad batch comes out, but I have had 3 Hondas, my dad has had 4 or 5 and out of all of those, we have never once had a single problem with it. My Tundra was in the shop for a brake TSB (they installed too small of calipers/rotors, etc at the factory). My Hondas were NEVER in the shop for anything. But generally speaking, with the exception of faulty parts (which any vehicle can and will have at one time or another) it all does really boil down to how well the vehicle is/has been taken care of. I have found so many times that it isn't the way the car was built, but how someone has taken care of the car. I'm not discounting any of the problems you have had with your Accord....I don't know the story and you probably have very valid points, but Honda is a VERY VERY reliable car. I'm sorry you may not think so, but most Honda owners are loyal to the end. I grew up riding around in Toyota's and even tank of a Chevy Impala DIESEL station wagon, but I found that from my dads multiple Honda's were far better than those cars ever were.

I've owned 7 pickups, every one was higher in the back. Pickups are designed to haul or tow. The suspension is higher in the rear for this reason. Buy a car if your looking for a level stance.

After reading all of your replies I have made a decision! I'm going to drink another beer then probably wash my Titan for the 3rd day in a row!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

Scott.

Sorry to hear that you've had trouble. But I've owned 5 Honda's and have never had any major problems with any of them...Unlike my Titan which had problems right off the bat!

Big Platinum · 07-30-2004, 09:39 PM

5500 miles and all i can complain about is warped rotors. now should i start with my list of things i love about this truck..........................everything else!

That's more than i can say for any other car or truck i've owned.
