Brand-wide ownership notes

The petrol Hondas of this period are among the most dependable cars here, with chain-driven engines that ask for oil and very little else. The diesel is the exception and the reason to read a service history, because the 2.2 i-DTEC can crack a piston and clog its particulate filter on short journeys. So the buying rule matches the Toyota one rather than the German one, since here the petrol is the safe choice.

Chassis

Chassis	Body	Years	Character
CU	sedan	2008–2015	Beautifully built, quiet and almost entirely ignored on the used market, which makes it one of the better-value cars here.
CW	wagon	2008–2015	The estate, which is rarer than the saloon and no less well made.
RE	SUV	2007–2012	A sensible, well-built SUV that covers distance quietly and asks very little in return. It's roomy and easy to drive, and it's one of the lowest-risk cars in its class.
