Honda is the most reliable car maker in the UK

Published 17-07-2011

Honda has been rated the UK's most reliable manufacturer in the latest What Car? and Warranty Direct reliability study for an unprecedented sixth year in a row. The 2011 survey result reinforces Honda's reputation for building rock-solid, dependable cars you can trust.

Honda beat rivals to the top of the What Car? league table thanks to an impressively-low 9 per cent failure rate in the first 12 months. Honda dominated the top of the SUV table with the HR-V and CR-V at number one and two. Jazz and Accord both come fifth in their respective classes while Civic came third in the small hatchback category.

"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," commented What Car? Editor In Chief, Chas Hallett.
