At least, with the FX35 I can now preempt some of that truck driver annoyance through the careful and judicious use of 275hp acceleration. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
No kidding. My 1994 Honda Civic DX has over 235,000 miles, and is still going strong. Until I bought the INFIniti FX35 in March of last year, I was using that Honda for my long-distance drives, such as to South Dakota. I gave the Honda to our oldest son, who started college last year. When driving through the mountains, in Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming, the FX35 is a much better performer than the Civic, which did a bit of straining, especially when I lose momentum due to truck drivers trying to pass one another on steep inclines, and decide to use the left lane for that purpose.I just find that Honda is one car I just can not kill.

I have a 1989 Accord with about 190,000 miles on it. A guy that joined my bike club is a Honda mechanic and a very good one. The car runs better since he has been working on it than when it had 40,000 miles on it. :thumbup: 
But all my friends give me grief for not buying something like a BMW. I do have a second low mileage car for long trips, so they call the Honda my rain car. (Racing cyclists always keep "the old rain bike" to ride when it is wet.)
I still commute with that Honda when I need too commute and drives better than my sisters Lexus and Volvo. However, you do need to make an appointment with it to accelerate.
