Hi guys,

Does anyone work for, or know anyone that works for Honda?

I have an EK9 but im looking at a 2007 Civic i-CDTi Type S GT as a daily car for a bit of practicality.

However, last night my friend said there is no point in buying a Honda as there is a big chance they are about to go under and go bust.

I cant find any news articles to back this up so I was curious to know if anyone else had any information on the matter?

Thanks in advance,

Garry
 
haha Honda are one of the largest car manufactures in the world, they make an astonishing amount of money everyday.

They don't just make cars either, and the parts Honda produce are also used in alot of other cars, anyone remember the map for car manufactures where it shows what parts are shared where?

It is pub talk and probably derived from Honda reducing its production in the UK due to sales not being as high as forecast.
 
Thanks for the replies guys, I didnt think they would...

I think its because I live in Swindon where they have just laid off a load of staff and as my mate works for BMW and that is the ONLY make of car he will buy... he was probably just being biased! :)

So, one more question then...

what are the 2.2 i-CDTi Type S GT 3d Civics like??
 
Sounds like complete rubbish, you can view all of Honda's financial statements etc online here: Honda Worldwide | Investor Relations
when looking at the 2013 report it shows a net operating income of £57,716,844,321 which is an improvement on last year when it was £46,440,719,085. That was just at a glance but the link is there if you want to look further :)
 
The 2.2 is pretty good mate. Dad had one and they're pretty quick and look good inside!
 
Honda are one of the largest car manufacturers and technology manufacturers in the world, if they went bust you would most certainly be assured that the likes of BMW and GM would go under also. As said most definitely pub talk...after a few. ;)
 
dont think the worlds largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines is going to go bust overnight. take it as pure BS

The 2.2 CTDi's are a good car but id take a VAG diesel over one any day, just better cars IMO.
 
Haha honda go bust! What a load of ****. Dis-own this friend of yours.
 
They make far too much money. Most petrol industrial plant machinery, go karts etc are all run by honda engines. Not to mention everything they make

Can't imagine them ever going bust tbh
 
I heard the same about ford...

id love that to be true! if you want a reliable car which makes good power that you can service yourself stay away from ford, their engineers couldn't build a sandwich never mind a car
 
its the European models that aren't selling well which is why honda uk is going through a ruff time, but there getting rid of the EU, US spec civic in 2016 and making a worldwide model.
