Model Summaries

Honda Accord

Good overall as a used midsize sedan, with repair costs below the class average. The 2021 model is the safest pick, while 2018 is the one to skip. Watch for automatic braking that slams on with nothing ahead, and for head gasket failure on the 2018 1.5L turbo, which can cut power at highway speed.

Average score: 76/100. Best year: 2021 (78/100). 9 years tracked.

All Accordyears →Years to avoid →

Honda CR-V

Repair costs run low at an estimated $407 a year, against $521 for compact SUVs, and reliability stands good. Steering that turns sticky or notchy and emergency braking that fires with nothing ahead are the complaints to know. Skip 2018, where gasoline seeps into the engine oil, and look at 2024 first.

Average score: 75/100. Best year: 2024 (77/100). 9 years tracked.

All CR-Vyears →Years to avoid →

Honda Civic

Sticky steering is the Civic's main weak spot, so shop by model year. Owners describe the wheel catching near center, then jerking the car. The 2022 is the year to skip, and the 2024 is the better buy. Independent repair-cost data puts yearly upkeep at $368, well under the compact car average.

Average score: 78/100. Best year: 2024 (81/100). 9 years tracked.

All Civicyears →Years to avoid →

Honda HR-V

Used HR-Vs hold up well, and independent repair-cost data puts yearly upkeep well below the subcompact SUV average. The 2021 is the year to favor, while 2019 and 2023 deserve caution. The problems that matter most are rear hatch glass that shatters with no impact, mainly in 2023, and an instrument display that goes blank in cold weather, especially in 2019.

Average score: 83/100. Best year: 2021 (86/100). 9 years tracked.

All HR-Vyears →Years to avoid →

Honda Odyssey

Reliability is good and yearly repair costs run below the minivan average, though the Odyssey ranks below average against other minivans. The 2024 is the year to buy, while 2018 and 2019 are the ones to skip. Watch for a 9-speed transmission that hesitates and then lurches, and connecting rod bearing failures that can seize the engine.

Average score: 66/100. Best year: 2024 (73/100). 9 years tracked.

All Odysseyyears →Years to avoid →

Honda Passport

Reliability for this midsize SUV is good and above average among SUVs, with repair costs near $521 a year. Newer years carry far fewer complaints, and 2024 is the safest pick. The 2019 is the one to skip. Its engine often fails to restart after Auto Idle Stop shuts it off at a light, and the screen can lose network communication and go dark.

Average score: 74/100. Best year: 2024 (79/100). 8 years tracked.

All Passportyears →Years to avoid →

Honda Pilot

Reliability is good and yearly repair costs run a little under the midsize SUV average. The 2019 model year is the one to skip, mainly because the engine can stall or refuse to restart after auto idle stop shuts it off at a light. The 2024 is the better pick, though owners there report steering noise and a hesitant automatic.

Average score: 68/100. Best year: 2024 (72/100). 9 years tracked.

All Pilotyears →Years to avoid →

Honda Prologue

Good reliability standing, though below average among SUVs on the site. The 2024 is the year to favor, while the 2025 holds every owner complaint on file, chiefly front axles that click or clunk in tight turns and a \"Service High Voltage System\" warning. Dealers often return cars unrepaired, saying Honda has no fix yet.

Average score: 66/100. Best year: 2024 (72/100). 3 years tracked.

All Prologueyears →Years to avoid →

Honda Ridgeline

Good overall and above average among trucks, this midsize pickup is a solid used buy, with 2024 the pick and 2019 the year to skip. The most serious complaints are engine failure from connecting rod bearings, which starts as a knock at startup, and a backup camera that goes black when the tailgate wiring frays. Transmission judder shows up most in 2019.

Average score: 77/100. Best year: 2024 (85/100). 9 years tracked.
