i hate to leave the subbies but damn this awd gets pricey in repairs....i want a back up camera too ...i am old i dont turn my neck anymore

We have had 20 Dodge Caravans / Chrysler Town Country mini vans for business & never had any major failures like a timing belt. Never had to tow any of them. We ran them all over 250,000 miles before selling them as working vehicles that passed emission & safety inspection.

My daughter had one. It was a money pit.

Blown head gasket, then fuel pump had to be replaced, later the transmission went out.

Tow truck took it to the junk yard. ...

Out of 20 vans we NEVER had any Engine or Transmission failures. 2 got fuel pumps, 1 got a water pump, 2 alternator pulleys, a few belts. Mostly just brakes, tires, spark plugs, batteries, wipers. The 2005s had door locks fail too operate. All minor stuff that didn't require a tow truck. Just a trip to local parts store & back on the road.

Keep up with the oil changes.

And you could get 300+ miles out of it. ...

All Honda's have interference engines. If the timing belt breaks your engine is toast.

If the belt hasn't ever been changed with that many miles. It definitely needs to be changed. And remember to change out the water pump since you'll already have it out during the timing belt change. ....
