Hi Guys:
I have a 2004 Camry with 215,000 miles on it, and a 1998 Honda Civic with 160, 000 miles on it. Next summer (2013) I plan to trade in one of these cars. I want to keep the one that is more reliable. The only major problems for each so far are as follows: Camry (automatic transmission)=one drained battery. Honda (manual transmission)=air conditioner failed last summer 2011--just failed again yesterday!
Isn't it true that the Honda will run more reliably, even if its air conditioner isn't reliable?
