Some years ago we purchased two new cars , a Chev Impala v8 305 cubic inch motor and a Honda Civic 1200cc . the Chev was the most problematic car I've ever owned - always something wrong with it , overheating,radiator, a/c, you name it ,it was replaced , couldn't rely on it at all - eventually the camshaft had to be replaced well before achieving 100,000km (62,000miles) we were relieved to get rid of that vehicle ! Several years later the little Honda with over 260,000km on the clock and still using no oil was sold , little needed replacing on that car other than tyres and brake pads. !
