Honda has been named the UK’s most reliable car manufacturer in a survey of the country's top contract hire companies .

Honda claimed top spot in the car manufacturer category and featured highly in the top ten most reliable cars category with the Accord and Civic models coming second and ninth place respectively in the annual FN50 survey.

The report, which is published by leading industry publication Fleet News, covers 1.5 million vehicles owned or managed by Britain’s 50 largest car leasing firms, making it the largest reliability survey of its kind.

Graham Avent, Manager, Manager of Corporate Operations at Honda UK, said: "Winning the FN50 most reliable manufacturer accolade is a huge boost for Honda in the corporate market."

"What makes it so important is the survey size - it's great to know that out of over one million drivers, the Honda brand comes out on top."

"We always score well in consumer surveys thanks to the phenomenal reliability and quality of our product range - but to get this recognition from the company car drivers themselves means the world to our Corporate team and our Corporate dealer network."

He added: "The Civic's top ten placing is also a great endorsement for our plant in Swindon that makes 85 per cent of the cars we sell in the UK."

"Honda has proven that British manufacturing continues to produce class-leading product for the fleet market."

The BMW 3 Series was named the most reliable company car in the UK, followed by the Honda Accord and the Audi A4 .
