Yeah I am aware of the issues they are having with their 1.5L turbo engines but Honda is trying to do these people right from what I have read/heard. Other than that most of their products are solid. They also have Acura at the bottom of the list and other than some of the growing pains they have had with the new RDX and obviously some of the transmission issues on the TLX they are also a solid company overall.

1) Transmission Failures have been a thing on Hondas since 2000s
2) Transmission failures back again when they went with FWD ZF 9speeds
3) 1st Gen RDX turbo motors were problematic at 100k
4) 1.5 turbo motor, again problematic
Doing right for owners is multiple SW updates which may or may not resolve the issue....I think if you get the bog standard V6 3.5 with their old 6 speed you really cannot go wrong. All their new motors and transmissions leave something to be desired for aka think of yourself as part of the testing group
