Honda Car Insurance

A global Japanese powerhouse, Honda is a motoring giant manufacturing automobiles and motorcycles. Honda is indeed the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles, whilst becoming Japan’s second biggest export of automobiles ahead of Nissan. A relatively new company, Honda was founded in 1948 and has already asserted itself at the top of the pile, becoming the largest engine-maker in the world.

Initially famed for its engine making, Honda eventually branched out into automobiles in the early 1960’s with the release of its first sports car. In the present day Honda has situated itself neatly in the middle of the automobile market, catering for both families and drivers of smaller, cost-efficient cars.

Ironically Honda was established after its initial engine design ideas were thrown out by Toyota, allowing Honda to develop and take advantage of its very own niche market.

Honda developed its brand reputation with an active presence in both Formula 1 and World Superbike Championships, dominating particularly on two wheels in recent years.

Honda’s impressive lines of compact cars are the ideal mid-range purchase for families and couples with common engine sizes ranging from 1.5 to 2.4 litre petrol or diesel engines. Japanese car manufacturers have enjoyed considerable success in the UK and there remains a demand for Honda’s compact vehicles as well as its latest sporty models. Drivers will also be pleased with the mid-range premiums for Honda car insurance, with a no-frills car that retains award-winning Japanese style.
