Character

N22A

"Accord/CR-V/Civic diesel. Honda's only European diesel. Injector issues. DPF concerns in city use. Dual-mass flywheel. Fundamentally solid. Less refined than Merc/BMW diesels but reliable."

D-Series

"Civic workhorse. SOHC/DOHC variants. D16 VTEC models are peppy. Simple, cheap, nearly indestructible. Timing belt (interference) — replace on schedule. Millions made worldwide."
