I understood that most, if not all Honda's sold in this Country were made in Swindon and Sunderland. So one could say the Honda UK is the Tops!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blondini]

Well done HONDA, but they don't have a plant in Sunderland, that honour lies with Nissan.

 

[toptec]

I know theres one up country somewhere.......

 

[Steve]

Toyota have a plant along the A50 somewhere.

I have only had Japanese cars for the last 20 yrs and not looked back.

You can keep your Escorts etc where you are always putting your hand in your pocket!!!!!

Honda Civic , the last 3 yrs and never let me down.

 

[joe-90]

The British made Honda were bottom of the survey.

The Civic is the only model assembled at Swindon.

It still uses the same high quality Japanese parts but is, unfortunately, assembled and QA'd by British morons.

I've been driving Japanese for many years and a Honda Accord for the past 10 ... All fab vehicles with outstanding engineering and decades ahead of anything this country could produce.

There's a lesson there somewhere if anyone wishes to find it

[joe-90]

I'm sending mine back then!

The next car will probably be a Japanese Toyota probably the Yaris as its good on the juice.

 

[noseall]

i had an argument about Hondas once............//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=120512

very well built and very reliable.

 

[empip]

Engineers build - accountants dismantle ( generally at the design stage )

 

[securespark]

Don't know how Skoda got so low down.

If you look at the JD Power reliability survey, they are second to Lexus.

I swear by mine, and that does not mean I stand next to it and shout "blo*dy well start you piece of poo!" each morning...
