The award was presented to Honda (UK)’s director and general manager, Ken Keir, by the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Dave Johns.

He said: “Our winner this year is a car charged with taking its maker into a new area of the market. It’s a machine that impressed us with its style, innovation and refreshing sense of fun. Although the Jazz range is small in comparison to some of its rivals, the model is a fantastic piece of packaging that answers its design brief to the letter and introduces a host of new ideas to an area of the market already overflowing with new metal. The new Honda is a car that has already ruffled feathers within the industry thanks to its spacious interior, high tech powerplant and fabulous build quality.”
