Is REVING 4K bad for the wagon??

Driving on the highway at 70-80 mph,(edit,lol) at nearly 4k rpms!
i almost want to buy a 2nd car, because my wagons rpms are so high on the highway!
does this effect anything? or is it ok?

But if that's your biggest concern, think about it...
Honda has traditionally built small, high rpm motors.
Smaller size displacement lends itself to rev-ability.
When recalling some of the key traits of Honda, most people will include "reliability".
This would explain why so many people here are able to still use a nearly 20 year old car as a daily driver. On the other hand, it is nearly 20 years old, so don't be surprised when s#it breaks.
But even a well engineered, quality intensive car is only as good as its maintenance. Follow the maintenance schedule and it will keep performing like it was designed to.
Especially oil changes.
but i dont feel i got a clear answer.
(im not gona drive slower) so, do you recommend me not cruisin at that high of rpms, or it doesnt matter.
Honda makes F1 cars, they are designed to turn 19k+ RPMs for very long periods of time, I'm sure that they have some of that experience into their motors as well.
Mine runs around 3k at 55-60mph, so, it sounds about normal.
1999-2000 Honda Civic Si's are the same way. i remember when i had mine two yrs ago.. crusing at 90 mph, your in vtec.. and i drove like that always so i guess its ok.
Max speed is about 190, it's really devil's car... :twisted:
Max torque = max fuel = best engine harmonics.
So below and on max torque, you should be fine to run consistantly alot.
