I like Hondas, but there is a known BMW E30 that has a million miles on its original engine. Like most things, cars were built to last in the 70s and 80s.

I'm not sure if they still do, but I know for a few years starting in 1997, Honda sub-contracted their transmissions to GM. Thats when the transmissions really started going down hill, but prior to that they were great!

EDIT: I was passed the info on GM manufacturing Honda Transmissions from another member, but upon research I haven't been able to back up their claims.
