The survey saw over 30,000 European drivers surveyed on 178 different models. Honda received a reliability rating of 93/100, with a further 79% of survey respondents saying that they would recommend a Honda vehicle.

The Honda Jazz was rated as the top car in terms of reliability in the 'utility' vehicles category. Other Honda models were also highly rated with the Civic, CR-V and Insight placing in the top 10 of most reliable cars in their respective categories.

“Reliability and quality are synonymous with the Honda brand,” said Honda Motor Europe’s senior vice president, Philip Ross. “The results of the survey highlight the importance of the quality commitments Honda has made to its customers. It is important for Honda to ensure that customers can experience the joy of owning a Honda vehicle and enjoy driving them with the peace of mind that the cars are among the least likely to experience breakdowns.”
