Owned since new and haven't had many complaints. It's a Honda so it has stood the test of time. The transmission has had a bad second gear since ~'00 and it was "fixed" thrice by the dealer but broke shortly after the last fix and the warranty was done. It's been garaged/stored most of it's life since new with very few miles put on in the last 10 yrs.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
I had to replace the original battery earlier this year which was a bummer. The car is essentially bone stock. I've always run winter tires since it's useless in the snow without them.
Suspension Modifications:
none yet
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
snows on steelies
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Alpine 6 disc cd changer connected to factory radio. Boston acoustics door speakers and the best 6x9's I could get after driving it off the lot.
Future Modifications:
A decent LSD or torsen diff since it really sucks in the snow compared to my old '01 A4 quattro. Coilover suspension if it allows a 1"-1.5" lift (steep driveway and bad weather). A new trans since I'm fed up with trying to get second gear and shifting from 1st to 3rd instead. Rally trim is more suited to my needs. The car has to "get me there" no matter what the weather. It failed admirably once during a blizzard after passing a plow truck which had flipped onto it's side in a ditch. Guessing where the road was and being wrong during a whiteout was my fault, the crappy handling and lack of traction was due to the stock tires.
