A lesson everyone should have learned back then. Leave a Honda be and you are fine, it is doing what it is supposed to. Don't mess with it

It sort of did, but keeping with BMC>MG Rover's status as the British General Motors, it took until the car was on sale for a few years and had already acquired a bad reputation for them to fix it. The '89-'91 models were significantly improved from a quality standpoint, and the Mk2 '92+ ones we never got were better still.

My dad had a Sterling 827 as a company car in the 80s. He picked it because it had a fancier interior than the Acura Legend on which it was based. I just remember being really impressed by the somewhat overcomplicated seat adjustment switches on the center console on either side of the parking brake.
The rear seats were also power adjustable. It was just a simple 2-way switch where the bottom cushion slid forward and the back reclined, together. But still...power rear seats were way cool to me when I was like 7.
It wasn't exactly very reliable though. He turned it back in when he left that company, and the next car he bought was an Acura Legend, which held up well enough to become my first car 8 years later.
