Honda makes crappy transmissions according to BITOG yet this one made it 500k.
Right? The automatic transmissions in these Civic's are nice.
Honda made a crappy H5 transmission, which was undeniably a crappy transmission. The real problem is not how many they produced however, but the fact that it went into nearly every high-dollar car that Honda/Acura offered over a nearly 10 year period.
I thought it was the automatic behind V6's that were problematic--and not all of them, as the Ridgeline somehow escaped that issue.
Also statistical flukes work both ways. Sometimes things die at ridiculously low miles--others turn over crazy miles. What are to make of fliers in the data?

Awesome! I hope my 2012 keeps going! Some years, makes, and models are much more dependable than others that's for sure.
this was the year where they had block casting issues (cracked block)...guess this was a lucky one...
Yep. My 08 Civic has almost 230.000 miles the block never cracked. Talking with Honda techs they say yes it was a issue but for only like 30% of the R18's that rolled out form 06-09.
2010 has 190,000 miles that I maintain. This thing will run forever.

I was one of the 30% but Honda agreed to put a new short block in even though just outside the warranty at the time ( had to fight with them a bit ). Later, they extended the warranty to 10 years to cover the cracked blocks IIRC.

I had no issue with the block in my 06 Civic. It had 254,000 km on it when I traded it for my 2016
My 07 was made in Japan..... does that matter?
