Pros: still trucking, OEM replacements

Hitachi ignition coils. Got mine off Rockauto for $30 each. I believe they might be OE
Pros: cheap, possibly OE
Hitachi IGC0003 from Rock auto, 3 years, zero issues.
Pros: zero issues, 3 years
Vehicle:
Nissan
Part number: IGC0003
My 2018 Civic is Hitachi.

One additional benefit is that the Duralast Coils have a free replacement for life. FWIW I put about 4 coils on my old 2007 and never had one fail over the course of 5 years and ~50k miles.
Pros: free replacement, never failed, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 80467 km
Duralast is a hit or miss kinda deal. It’s equivalent to oem. The good thing about it is you can swap them out for new ones if it ever fails. The bad thing is they either fail in a very short period of time or last for a very long time there’s no in between.
Pros: can swap out if fails
Cons: fail in short period
Vehicle:
Subaru
About 2 months ago I had a cylinder 4 misfire while on the interstate so I pulled over got it towed and replaced all the ignition coils(duralast) and spark plugs. It fixed the problem and I went on my merry way. Well now today I am currently on the side on the road waiting for a tow truck and once again got the p0304 code(cylinder 4 misfire). When I replaced the coils last time the coil in Cylinder 4 looked like it had melted. I haven’t been able to look at it now but what could be the cause for that? Do I have an underlying issue somewhere else or did cheap parts just bite me in the ass like they always do?
Pros: initially fixed problem
Cons: coil melted, misfire returned
Used them on my 17’ Wrx premium. Worst decision i ever made. Motor started misfiring. Drove easy until i fount a replacement. Motor blew before i could swap them out 2 weeks later.
Cons: motor started misfiring
I have burnt through many duralast coils. Changing to standard or delphi today actually as the duralast keeps having misfires
Cons: keeps having misfires
