Need advice

[Ontheway]

Have a 2003 EX purchased new with now 130000 KM. Very well maintained. New brakes all around 5000 KM ago and new Michelins 30000 KM ago. Van has been very solid except-tranny went out and needed to be replaced at 112000 KM. Especially with new baby on the way, questions about car's reliability exist. How reliable are the replacement trannies? Should I just sell this vehicle and get something else (we'd look carefully at a Jetta wagon TDI)? Is it still likely we'll get 200000 KM+ from the Honda as we originally hoped? I realize no one can say for sure, but I'd be glad to hear good info on how to proceed. Thanks.

The transmissions are all crap. FYI.

Now Now. They are actually getting better. It was for a while you would get around 45k out of a reman tranny or less but now we are seeing less and less of them coming back.

Better, yes. But he's looking to get another 85,000 miles out of it . Not likely.
