Your friend has obviously never driven a german car, or he's biased towards german cars. No, hondas are NOT known for poor usage. On the contrary, after much research, it's why I ditched a 2001 Jetta for my 94 Accord. My honda gets better mileage than any Jetta ever will. 370 is about what I get on my car, and she's an EX with an auto trans. The best mileage I've gotten, is usually on LONG roadtrips, like from here to LA or SD. I've gotten almost 500 miles on my last trip. But on my regular work commute which is all highway, 370 sounds about right...
