Based on reports, Hondas have the BEST reliability and BEST resale value. Further they don't look boring as Toyota Models(of course before the Camry Redesign). Toyota Camry is for older people, and that's the general public perception. (That's why they created Scion) Nissan targets the younger buyers, and their reliability is pretty good also. Honda lies somewhere in between these two giants. Someone had a bad luck with Honda doesn't mean that all Hondas are bad. But that also depends on the plant they are manufactured on. An "A" plant may have better reliability than "B" plant of the same company. If you're buying a used car, then look at these reliability ratings: - http://autos.msn.com/home/reliability_ratings.aspx
