Overall, Honda came out top of the survey, receiving a reliability rating of 93/100 and with further 79% of survey respondents saying that they would recommend a Honda vehicle.
The Honda Jazz was rated as the top car in terms of reliability in the "utility" vehicles category, followed by the Toyota Prius and Renault Clio. Despite it's popularity, the Ford Focus had the worst score.
Honda Motor Europe's senior vice president, Philip Ross, says: "Reliability and quality are synonymous with the Honda brand.
"The results of the survey highlight the importance of the quality commitments Honda has made to its customers. It is important for Honda to ensure that customers can experience the joy of owning a Honda vehicle and enjoy driving them with the peace of mind that the cars are among the least likely to experience breakdowns."
