I don't know what world you guys live in, but please go buy something other then a Honda and you will be back in no time flat.
As for the 99 clutch, they had some bad master cylinders for the clutch. Which is made in Japan not US.
Love my Cord, Love its paint, hate my S-10, & wish honda would make a truck.
Honda hasn't mastered the tranny? Are you on crack? Honda's FWD manuals are the best in the world...did you ever own another car's manual, the Honda shifter is like silk. As for the V6 tranny issue...they admitted to it and are working on it. However, lots of friends I know own V6Cords and none have ever had an issue. It only affected around 5% of all trannies on Cords very small for most car companies. Would you like to see the list of Recalls I have for parts on my truck, its a 1997? I usually get one letter a month, no joke.
