Honda
Honda cars made their first
appearance in Malaysia in 1969, where Kah Motor Co. Sdn Bhd was set up to
further Honda’s reach in the Malaysian and Singaporean markets. Since then, the
Honda brand is synonymous with good reliability, all-round performance,
innovative designs and sensible practicality which gained the brand a strong
following ever since. Honda cars are also the go-to brand for many used car
shoppers; models like the Accord, City, Civic, CR-V, and Jazz are still the
popular choice for many young professionals and executives to date. The choice
for car enthusiasts when it comes to Japanese cars will go after
performance-oriented models such as the Honda Civic Type-R, CR-X, NSX, NSX
Type-R and NSX-R supercars, and the S2000 roadster. Honda not only caters
evocative cars such as these, but also offer practical family MPVs like the
Odyssey and Stream.
