I've had my share of issues/problems, etc. I don't think anyone would say problems are rare, even with Honda (and Toyota and Mazda, etc.). I deal with them as they occur. Life is too short to get so worked up about a car.
I was satisfied with my dealer's loaner policy. My vehicle was out of commision, they gave me something to drive. That was good enough for me. I haven't had a vehicle out of commision for more than a few days (even when a had domestic POS) so I can't really comment, but I don't wish that on anyone.
Honda isn't the only automaker out there. If a longer warranty is important, I would think Honda would be one of the first crossed off the list since their warranty is one of the most restrictive. But for some reason Honda keeps setting sales records.
Many people equate higher price with higher quality (Acura??). Tell that to the MB buyers who have problems or the Jaguar people or the BMW owners or even the Acura buyer. Although I guess it is ok because they give them a comparable loaner. Or do they? Does the BMW 7 series owner get a 7 series as a loaner or just a lowly 3 series?, How about the RL owner? I guess he or she might just have to make do with a TL.
