The V-10 never got cam phasers, so no can phaser issues. They did all end up being 3 valve which gave it a spark plug removal issue.
Either way the V-10 is a good motor. If driven moderately it is not the gas hog it is made out to be!
Let's put it this way. It would take 2 Hondas to do what the X can do so you take a fully loaded down Accord with 4 people and luggage that will get 30 mpg (you'll need 2 Accords to handle what the X can on its own). Divide 30mpg by 2 and you get 15 which is what 2 Accords will get!
