I have only owned this car for a year and a half, and I have nothing but problems. After only owning the car for less than six months and only driving ten miles to and from work five days a week, the head gasket burst on my way to work. I had to replace the head gasket, thermostat, timing belt, and water pump. After I got it back from the shop, the brakes started to fail, and I had to take it back to the shop and get the brakes replaced. About five months after that, my car was very sluggish, and I had to take the car back in to see what was wrong with it. The mechanic I took it to said that it needed another $2,000+ of work done to it. I fixed the most crucial things, and now I am just waiting for it to break down again, and then I will be getting a new car.

I have owned my 2009 LX-S for 5 years now, and I am pretty happy with it. It is excellent on gas. I average about 33 MPG overall. I love the styling (both inside and out), it is smooth, reliable and has plenty of room for most anyone (I am 6'3" and I fit with ease), even the back has better space than most all the other cars I test drove. I am still kicking myself for not dishing out the extra cash for the Si (the car is fun, but I can just imagine what those extra 57 horses could do).
