Honda E

I'm not surprised. I have only ever seen one on the road around Tallaght and nowhere else. I would say they had a miniscule sales impact here.

Not much of a surprise really.

They’ve sold roughly 100 of them here, one is in my driveway. It’s a brilliant little thing for urban driving.

The most frustrating thing about the small range is actually that it’s so well sorted to drive that long runs are great in it.

You can blame the boy races for that. Honda started to price there cars higher because boy racers were buying them and Honda was getting a bad reputation and then Insurance companies started to charge more to insure Hondas so no one or very few bought them as they were to expensive for what they were and too expensive compared to the competition to insure.

The boy racers all started to move to VWs then and the Hondas started to disappear.

There getting there.

Where as if they had if it called it “E Honda “ it would have sold loads.

Honda are finished in Ireland, just a matter of time. They have priced themselves out of the market. Went into the Honda dealership in Kilkenny a few weeks ago to see the new Civic and they had no Hondas at all. Salesman told me he couldn't sell them because of the price. He told me other dealers are doing the same. Pity, I drove Honda cars for 25 years and loved them.
