I have a 2013 SH-AWD 6MT with 77k miles on it. LOVE this car. But I'm looking at a 2nd engine replacement. Cylinder 4 and 5 misfires due to visible "abnormality" when viewed with a camera. Got worse after a valve adjustment. They suspect a bad cylinder. I'm trying to decide if I let the dealer buy it back or roll the dice on another replacement. Wondering how others' engines are holding up. Can you please answer the following?

no engine issues but it is quite noisy, more than likely needs a valve adjustment as they have never been adjusted.
In 205k miles the two real unscheduled maintenance I’ve had to do was the purge valve solenoid and the intermiediate shaft bearing(FWD model) was worn and sounded identical to a bad strut mount.
Car has has held up amazing and is ceramic coated. Looks like it has 50k miles inside and out. Not to much wear on the driver seat and the steering wheel has perfect leather still.

I have a 2012 with a manual. The first 70 k miles no oil consumption issues whatsoever, and the car drives like a champion. Lately, oil consumption has increased a bit, trying to determine if it is a big issue or just normal aging of the engine. I have 85k miles on it now. Just got the extended warranty letter from Acura.

Hello, 3rd TL and member since 2013, but first post. Posts like these help save people money, and had I known about the transmission issues in the 2002s, or dashboard cracks in 2005s or cam issue in the 12s (experienced all three) I might have made different decisions...
Year: 2012
Mileage: 87K
Engine (3.5 or 3.7): 3.7
Trans (Auto or 6MT): Auto
Oil Consumed per 3k miles: I honestly don't know, had no idea there was an issue, but religiously maintained per minder since new. However, see below...
Past or Current Engine Issues:
85K alternator ~$750
87K worn lobe and pitted rockers in cylinder 1 ~$2200
50K shuddering tranny ~Dealer tranny service, software update
80K Leaking axle seal ~$207
87K OEM battery died a while ago and was replaced with Optima for a few years, Optima just died, dealer put OEM back in ~$190
Everything else has been regular maintenance, i.e., filters, tires, brake pads, rotors resurfaced, fluids changed, air bag recall, busted fog light, and the USB doesn't work anymore for some reason....
