The 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid replaced the 2004 version. It is much larger, more efficient and has beter gas consumption.

Ford Explorer XLS 2002 (2)

We also have the same. 2002 Ford Explorer XLS and recently, the power windows have been breaking for some reason. We are now down to 2 windows being able to work. The 2 front windows which are the drivers and the passengers windows broke. So now only the 2 windows in the back seat work. I don't know what happened. I was just driving one day and the drivers window just out of know where went down. Then today, i was driving and the passenger side window went down. I had to actually open up the inside of the door, and make the windows stay up with a piece of wood. The motors are still working, it's just when i switch the switches, it make a cracking noise like plastic breaking. I don't know what happened. Now i'm gonna see if i can order some part from the ford parts web site and see if i can fix it myself.

It is an awesome car. Fast. Well made. Smooth and a terrific sound system (Bose).
I would recommend it.

I'll soon upgrade to an SUV, maybe Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer.

My wife and I are now driving our 5th and 6th Honda Accords

My first Honda was the first model Accord Hatchback imported into the US. It was running perfectly until it was totaled with 97,000 miles on the OD by an a driver that skidded into it in a snowstorm. All of our other Accords were over ten years old when we retired them.

The only time one of my Hondas broke down on the road it had over 90,000 miles on it when an ignition part called the "igniter" gave out. Even though the car was past its warranty period Honda USA paid for towing and replaced the igniter at no charge. They said it was a part that should not normally fail. I have heard stories about Rolls Royce doing similar things - but you pay a lot more for a Rolls Royce and I don't even know if those stories are fact.
