Honda is a company that doesn’t like to follow the crowd. So, while it competes in most of the traditional sectors of the car market, in each case it does something a little bit different.

The Jazz, for example, might look like just another rival to Britain’s best-selling car, the Ford Fiesta, but it’s actually much more practical than its rivals, with a flexible boot and Tardis-like interior.

The bigger Civic is also a practical choice, but it’s mainly distinguished by having eye-catching, love-it-or-hate-it styling, despite competing in a sector of the market that’s usually more conservative than a blue rosette.

And while it may not seem so radical now, Honda’s large SUV, the CR-V, was one of the first to forego any pretence of being an off-roader and instead focus on on-road driving dynamics.

Honda is the latest manufacturer to cut production at its UK factory as demand for new cars falls amid the economic crisis. The company is reducing Civic production at its Swindon plant by 22,000 cars between December and March a reduction of 10%. Despite cutting workers' hours, company officials say they hope to retain all current staff at the plant. The news comes shortly after Nissan announced that it would be reducing production at its Sunderland plant, while Toyota, Ford, Vauxhall, Jaguar, Land Rover and Bentley have all announced reductions at their UK factories.

The car industry's struggles could be good news for new car buyers, however, with discounts increasing as manufacturers try to move stock.
