Yup my first car gave me tons of problem i learned quick for my next car to have good rep of reliabilty, economical, and of course with little mechanical problems. If my civic ever has any mechanical problems ill check that place out
Honda Fit would be my choice, especially if you want something that will last that long and a "family starter". They're big enough on the inside to carry semi large loads once you fold the seats down. I've also heard the Fiesta is supposed to be pretty good.
