At 150,000 miles the valve belt broke in the car so the engine was replaced. The replacement engine (I have the paperwork) had 50,000 miles on it at the time. The current milage on the engine is 120,000 miles. Depending on how you downshift there can be a grunch felt on the 3rd to 2nd gear downshift. I have an extra transmission that goes with the car. I picked it up 3 years ago but have never installed it because I was able to avoid the grunch on the 3rd to 2nd gear downshift. There are stone chips on the hood. There are 3 scratches on right side of the car. The car needs a new battery pack. The cost, installed, at a local honda dealer was $2,500.00. I have averaged 58 mpg during the time, 4 years, I have owned the car. I am the 2nd owner. The interior seats are a bit worn. I have had no trouble with the car except that it now needs a new battery pack. If a new battery pack is put in the car is good to drive. Can be driven now but will draw power from the battery used to start the car so you would need to recharge that one after an hour or two or 60 miles of driving depending on whether it's during the day or night since at night the lights will draw down the battery faster. Can also be used for parts.
