I would call going through 3 engines unreliable. After the 3rd engine, honda replaced the vehicle. Then there were electrical issues. The honda place said the electronics were as bad as on British cars. It was just a comparison vehicle, not a daily driver, but the door seals leaked, the door handles kept not working to let me out, and I couldn't say how many starters those cars went through.. It spent most of 3 years in the shop. Traded for a turbo Z car, which truly was a piece of junk.
Yes, it was basically a faster accord, with a unique look.
