Seems like my post about 1 million Toyota recalls was removed. Why is that? I'm posting it again and will continue to do so if its removed again:

Case in point: 45000 Honda recalls, no biggie, beat a WHOPPING OVER 1 million Toyota recalls!

Well shiraz bhai, v both are connected through tauseen123...

Sorry
"Honda guys"
but here is the latest
"crap creation"
from Honda :

Recalls concerned:

(2001/7Civic hybrid)

--Honda Motor announced a global recall of 45,000 Civic Hybrid sedans, hoping to correct defective voltage converters that could cause short circuits, stopping the cars' engines and preventing them from restarting.

(2006/7 Civic sedan & coupe - All trims)

--Faulty frontal airbags
--Incorrect NHTSA contact info in owner's manuals
--Gas pedals that may come loose
--Improperly attached rear glass

This is an example of a recall at its
"most serious"
, a grave problem affecting a large number of vehicles, prompting the automaker to spring to action and immediately contact owners...!

here is something different to read than comparing your local assembled corollas and civics.

[levin]

no doubt vtec does have higher votes.. where as vvti and ferrari's system running equal. BMW's valvetronic quite close to vvti. (stats taken from another international forum)

Like above there are many ways one can compare cars , engines etc..

I didnt feel like entering this long discussion but it seems guys refuse to understand long and short and get personal.

Both companies toyota and honda are good in their ways,, both are like good investment for your money. Both will have their own pros and cons. sometimes its just not possible comparing everything to come to a conclusion.

@ levin:

I agree with you bro...! You got the formula ...!

I just thought this is the caption the image below should have been posted with, lol!

@levin

Totally agree man. These discussions on are not productive anymore

As far as recalls are concernd... toyota has always been ahead of Honda...

Toyota’s red-hot hybrid vehicle suffered a slight setback today, as the company announced a recall of the 2004-05 Toyota Prius in order to fix a software malfunction. The trouble, which affects 75,000 Prius vehicles sold in the United States, or about 26 percent of the 2005 model year Prius, may stall the gasoline-powered engine, as well as inaccurately activate warning lights.

But Toyota recalld 170,856 Prius just in north america... Having a serious problem with wich u mite not even b able to drive the car!!

"THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND SLIDING YOKE IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAN CRACK WHEN LARGE FORCES ARE APPLIED AND THE CONNECTION MAY SEPARATE OR THE SLEEVE MAY FRACTURE. "

At least u cud drive the defected Honda Civic Hybrid...

CHEERZz

[Storm]

you guys are all wrong

honda and toyota are no match for a sohrab in terms of fuel economy and the sohrab comes with 20+ inch rims and low profile tyres,... i bet neither honda or toyota can beat those specs!

(seriously lets all discuss and NOT fight, we are all grown ups here)

[wheels]

on behalf of me and my friends

i Like Honda.

3 friends like honda

1 likes toyota.

Toyota is twice as big as honda, they're bound to have more recalls than honda, keep facts in perspective please.

Honda got it right with the NSX, bt due to excessivbe tyre wear the cars were considered a flop,.. even thogh the tyres wore oput due to the amount of grip they were setup to deliver was amazing.

Toyota got it right with the supra, great car with great driving dynamics. however this car has had one design fault which has hounded it till now and that is traction. I have yet to find a company which has managed to get a supra to gip the roads on street tyres at a launch.

Verdict: I'll take the NSX only because it is perfectly balanced for track use and more importantly because the handling was developed in conjunction with aryton senna (one of my heros).

NOTE: this is a personal choice and desnot reflect on either manufacturer being better than the other. toyota makes better 4x4's ane honda makes better cars, both have great engine technology
