Anybody that thinks these are reasonable maintenance expenses is insane. As good as these cars drive, I will never own another. Might lease one. Maybe. I'm getting an Accord for my daily driver.

I don't get this post. So, with a Honda you don't need to (ever) change the oil or battery after warranty? If you don't like what the dealer charged you, go somewhere else, but don't blame the manufacturer.
