I have a friend who drives a lot and he's gone through several Hondas, putting over 200K miles on them, with few problems too, never a new timing chain, valve guides, not even a new valve cover gasket.

Hi Trader4.
I don't think "the car is that bad".
I purchased mine with close to 100k miles on it at very low price. The car had issues, and I think the 1st owner didn't bother too much with maintenance. Bad maintenance = bad car, no matter which brand you chose.....
I knew what was waiting for me, but I believe most of the stuff I took care by now.
All's good
