Vue V6

Anybody have any input as the reliabilty of the Honda supplied V6 and 5 speed auto ? Heard it has great pickup, just wondering how the reliability has been so far . Also does anyone know what the timing belt replacement interval is on this engine , wish they had used a chain .

Never had any major problems yet with the engine, iv changed a axle seal in 1 and thats it, vary reliabile engine

Very zippy. Much caution is needed under sudden acceleration (at low speed especially) to keep control of the torque steer. But I am a rear drive guy so maybe more seasoned FWD folks will adapt to that easier. I like it. Has well tuned trans gearing to the engine and vehicle. Can't help with long term stuff... - Mark
