Now that depends very heavily on the car. An 07 Honda? Mechanically you’re probably right. If it’s rusting, I’ll have to disagree with you though. Japanese cars do have a tendency to rust more than their western counterparts (at least applies to a lot of the ones made in the 90s and 00s).

I’ve seen some mid-00s Audis’ powertrain issues make grown men cry, metaphorically speaking.
