Honda is celebrating after being named the most reliable used car brand
in the annual What Car? and Warranty Direct reliability survey for an
unprecedented seventh year in a row. According to the report which Honda
has topped since 2005, Honda cars are the least likely to leave
passengers stranded by the roadside with just a one in 10 chance of
models suffering a breakdown in any given 12-month period – an enviable
record.
Chas Hallett, What Car? editor in chief commented “Honda definitely
deserve a special mention, seven years at the top of the annual What
Car? / Warranty Direct research is a great achievement. When a car
leaves the car makers warranty protection it can start to cost the
consumer cash and inconvenience, this research highlights that this does
not happen often with a Honda”.
Warranty Direct’s managing director, Duncan McClure Fisher, added:
“Honda has continued its spectacular record in the annual reliability
study. It has proven its ability over many years to manufacture cars
that continue to be extremely reliable beyond the usual three year
warranty period. If you are in the market for a used vehicle, our study
suggests you should seriously consider a Honda.”
Dave Hodgetts, Managing Director, Honda (UK), concluded; “The
reliability of our cars is a key focus for Honda as we strive to make
every second of Honda ownership an enjoyable experience. This doesn’t
just start at the manufacturing stage, but is intrinsic throughout the
research & development and during the parts procurement process,
this focus ensures that we build reliable and high quality cars.
“Success in reliability studies like this, further proves the
dedication, skill and passion of our engineers, both at the development
and manufacturing stages, and we are incredibly proud to be the most
reliable manufacturer in the industry – for an outstanding seven years
running.”
