We bought this little two door coupe in a hurry.  We didn't have any fears buying a Honda; we'd owned several before.  She wanted a two door.  It has decent power with the A/C off and one or two occupants.  Nobody should doubt Honda's quality of design and assembly; I think they are tops in those categories.

 But it has had problems.  The right front shock unit (inside the strut tower) broke in half.  Yes, in half.  We started hearing this loud rattling sound and when we took it in for service, they remove both halves of the shock and showed us.  Maybe it was just a fluke but when it happens...
