Honda voted 'Most Trusted Manufacturer'

Honda has been voted 'Most Trusted Car Manufacturer' in the 2013 What Car? Used Car Awards, writes Trish Whelan.

The UK readers of whatcar.com cast their votes in the annual 'Reader Award' giving Honda the pole position to become the most trustworthy manufacturer to buy a used car from taking into consideration the quality of the cars, service, and overall value for money.

Thousands of visitors to the site said owners were impressed not just with the quality of Honda vehicles but also the servicing of cars and 'great customer service'. Honda dealers were also praised as their 'workshop teams proved thorough, helpful and courteous'.

Adrian Cole, Managing Director, Universal Honda Ltd in Ireland (pictured) championed the recent survey result saying: "Our cars are designed to deliver an outstanding Honda customer experience from the purchasing stage right through to the end of the car's life. That's why it's not only important that our cars are manufactured to last, to perform, and to be enjoyable, but also to provide an industry leading service to our customers at all touch points.

"With Irish drivers keeping their cars for longer, it's important to choose a vehicle that is built to last, is dependable, and of the highest quality. This award shows that our cars are second to none in this regard."

Honda was recently named the most reliable car brand for the eighth year in succession by the UK-based Warranty Direct Reliability Survey. The Survey, co-sponsored by the UK What Car? magazine, is based on reviews and opinions of more than 50,000 car owners.
