I guess I wasn't trying to extrapolate this 1 example to say all Hondas are bad - everyone knows they are pretty good mechanically. I also don't know the level of maintenance he did (though he had recently done a synthetic oil change + put new tires on it). The car looked in great shape.
I've gotten a lot of flack from non-Saab owners when they hear my wife talking about fixing this or that on the 1993... often the comment is "dump it + buy a Honda"... this guy's Civic is 10 years newer + has as many or more problems than we've encountered, and has spent a lot on it + the new problems sound like they will cost more to fix than anything we've encountered. It's now a parts car. So I feel a little vindicated, and I think it is justifiable! The 1989 has been extremely reliable + low cost over the years... in fact, total cost of ownership of either c900 (both bought used) has been comparable to or better than leasing new Honda civics + insurance is cheaper too!
