Bob Gerard (in Leicestershire) gets from just about everyone who has used them.

Hondas UK in Leeds also used to get positive reviews but I'm not sure whether they're still around - they don't seem to have been mentioned for a while.

Welcome back!

That's exactly what I'm after (although I think she's trading it today), but like I mentioned, what is the point of buying a UK (if it is a UK) car thats a year old when I can buy a new one for

Thanks for the heads up, its been a while!
I'll have a look as Leeds is pretty close, Bob's a way away but I'd certainly drive there to get a decent deal, where are they imported from? Mentions Yurp, but I suppose it doesn't really matter!

I think (from vague recollection of seeing this discussed in the past) that a lot of their cars come from Cyprus.

After much debate, I think the concensus was eventually that the cars are exactly the same as UK-supplied cars save for the warranty issues, not coming with locking wheels nuts (although BG may supply those) and not having the alarm that UK cars have (which in the past, pre-04, was actually considered by some to be a plus! )

You could cut a good deal on:
Yeomans Honda Chichester are VERY eager to sell their New Formula Red MY06 Demo. It drives a treat.
They also have a couple of older cars - blue, but not sure years.
Yeomans Honda Churt Nr Farnham have a 6k mile MY06 demo black black/red used by dealer principle.
