None of them had the same problems I had with my Honda.

But how long ago was that? When Hondas first were marketed in this country, they were like Hyundai in its earlier days - cheap, not well made or dependable. But then they caught on and got better, just like Hyundai is doing. Since you say it was your first car and you're several years older than me, I'm guessing your Honda was from maybe the 80s, when they weren't quite as dependable (though I still see a lot of 80s Honda Accords around). Sorry if I'm totally off, though.
