Best and Worst vehicles under $6K

[crayzkirk]

Stay clear of Hondas with the VCM V6. Lots of problems with oil consumption and spark plug fouling. I bought a used one with 25K miles in 2012 and every 10k, it fouls a couple of plugs and starts burning oil like crazy. VCM = Variable Cylinder Management or we stop the valve train on a couple of cylinders turning it into a V4 instead of putting a six speed transmission to reduce RPMs. Major POS. Valve cover gaskets go bad and required disassembly of half of the intake manifold to change. GM tried this and had similar issues.
