      Honda’s are ok, but people tend to beat the crap out of them. Same with Toyota, Nissan, et. al. As far as makes to stay away from I’d stay away from Anything that’s no longer made (Saturn, Scion, etc). The best advice I could give you is to make sure you check everything before buying a car.

      Look at the motor, are there any leaks or broken parts?
      Look at the suspension and frame especially if you live in an area where frame rot is a concern.
      Look at the Tires. Do they have any unusual wear?
      Take it for a test drive. Any noise or vibration that feel out of the ordinary?
      Also check the fluids. Beware if any of the fluids are black or smell burnt.

      Mostly just take your time when making a decision and avoid buying a money-pit/klunker.

        Did you bleed the brakes after replacing the pads? And also you NEVER put air into your brake system as that is one of the causes of a soft or spongy pedal. Which is why you need to bleed them to make sure no air has gotten in there and is messing with stuff.
