Why Honda is a warranty wonder I contacted Honda hoping for some assistance after my Jazz's ABS failed. Bearing in mind my car was nine years old and had covered about 65,000 miles, Honda replied with an offer showing a considerable reduction in price and also contacted my dealer to arrange the remedial work. It was all carried out at a final cost somewhat less than one third of the original estimate. Outstanding. That is partly why Honda just came top in a reliability survey based on warranty claims. If Honda still offers goodwill after nine years, it considerably reduces the cost of warranty claims.
