And still running strong. I get why Honda has (had?) such a reputation for quality. I've put 80K miles on it in 10 years and only major repair I've had to do was replacing the serpentine belt. (It's a 1991 Honda Civic Wagon, if you're curious)

Neat car, but driving 8,000 miles a year probably helped longevity as well.

You should probably change the oil soon, then.

You never did the timing belt? ON A HONDA?

Well, I used to drive it a lot more, but 3 years ago I got a BMW that I use as my daily driver. I've only put a few thousand miles on the Honda since then.

I have the oil changed regularly, but I don't really consider oil changes to reflect on a car's reliability.

So you're saying I should probably change the timing belt then?

thats like rule #1 for timing belt driven hondas. Every 100K miles is the rule of thumb. ~80k miles if you want to be on the safer side.

Good to know, thanks for the tip!

.....Now would be a good time. There isn't a Honda off the top of my head that isn't a interference engine. So Honda + old timing belt = pretty much a new engine. If your belt has lasted this long, I wanna see it and you need to share your luck with the internets.
