Honda strengthens reliable reputation with another win
Honda has been hit with the r-word once again.
For the third time in the space of a month, the Japanese manufacturer has been hailed as the most reliable brand out there, this time by What Car? Magazine.
This latest accolade marks the sixth year in a row that Honda has topped the magazine’s reliability survey, which is conducted with the help of Warranty Direct.
Dave Hodgetts, MD at Honda UK, said: “We strive to make every second of Honda ownership an enjoyable experience, and that means looking after our drivers throughout their use of our cars.
“This all starts with building reliable and high quality cars that are affordable to run and maintain, but continues with service at our dealers that exceeds expectation.”
Reliability is key
Honda stamped its dominance on the What Car? reliability charts with the HR-V and CR-V claiming first and second in the SUV segment while the Jazz, Accord and Civic all bagged top five slots in their respective categories.
Chas Hallett, Editor-In-Chief at What Car?, said: “The success of Honda in this years’ reliability study is very impressive, especially as this is Honda’s sixth overall win as the UK’s most reliable car maker.
“Reliability is key for car buyers. The car makers at the bottom of the study have a lot of work to do to catch up with Honda.”
Considering 80% of Honda’s models built in the UK, the brand’s reputation for reliability serves as a glowing reference for British manufacturing.
Dave Hodgetts said it was about meeting customer needs: “Success in reliability studies further proves the dedication, skill and passion of our engineers, both at the development and manufacturing stages.
“We are incredibly proud to be the most reliable manufacturer in the industry – yet again.”
Earlier this week, Honda released a concept photo of the new, more ‘aggressive’ CR-V (pictured right), due to hit British tarmac in Autumn 2012.
As one of the best selling SUVs, the CR-V will make more friends with an anticipated improved fuel economy. Click the image to get a closer look.
