currently my 92 lx has 185k on it and feels as solid as it did with 65k when i first bought...my friends with 5th gens who have over 100k miles theirs are more beat down feeling....btw my 92 lx was a US made car. I dont think the country of assembly is the problem, i think that the quality controls are declining and honda is not maintaining hte same standards as the past to be able to make a better profit.
