The CRV has really only had a few problems, O2 sensor that is twice the price of the one the Boxster uses failed at 35k. Twice as expensive at dealer prices, twice as expensive at OEM equivalent prices.

The Acura has had the usual transmission oiling problem of its design and has had 3 bent wheels. Never bent a wheel on the 40 other cars I've owned. Now I've got to replace the driver's seat as the leather is deteriorating/splitting. Porsche of around the same age/miles is fine. Paint chips galore ... not the P-car.
