Startin Honda wIn Gold Award at Three Counties Summer Show 2010

Startin Honda win gold at three counties

Startin Honda claimed the Gold Award at this year’s Three Counties Summer Show for their amazing stand. Awards were presented for stand quality, layout and interaction by the staff. The team from Startin Honda included from left Ian Wild (AMIMI Customer Care and Marketing), Maggie Kane (Reception) & John Bentley (MIMI Dealer Principal).

Ian Wild said "It was a fantastic display and the show was very rewarding. Our new Hybrid Sports Coupe the CR-Z was star of the show with many positive comments praising Honda for bringing a sports car Coupe with Hybrid Technology to market, which is a world first and proves that the Hybrid Technology is now not only becoming common place but also highly desirable. It also shows that even though car sales have suffered over the last couple of years Honda is still hugely in demand. We have sold two cars at the show this year and also generated 180 further enquiries to deal with after the event."


Going Green!

Local MP Peter Luff with his wife Julia collect their brand new Honda Insight from Ben Cash at Startin Honda, showing that the new government has MP’s that consider the greener choice where possible! With fuel economy of 64.2mpg, £0 vehicle road tax and London Congestion charge exemption eligible it makes fantastic sense on may counts... least of all its a superbly engineered quality car that is a dream to drive.

The lower cost of running and a choice of three Honda Hybrid models including the Honda Civic hybrid, Honda Insight and the all new CR-Z (pictured) means Honda really is the first port of call when choosing a new car.


Spring 2010 newsletter

Hello and welcome to our Spring 2010 newsletter, our first of a new decade and I have to say it’s rather nice to be entering into our second decade as Startin Honda! We finished the last one on a high. It was a hard and economically challenging finish to the ‘naughties’ and we seemed to be positioned well enough to weather the storm and I hope you too found the reported doom and gloom to be somewhat exaggerated and you weren’t too hard hit personally.

As usual we have an interesting year ahead; we have the fabulous Civic, Accord, Jazz, Insight and CR-V (updated for 2010) ranges, some with cracking offers for March registrations which you can read about further in the newsletter.
