More women are buying cars from Honda dealers than ever before, according to the National Car Buyers Survey.

The percentage of female car buyers has increased from 30 per cent in 2000 to 37 per cent in 2005.

The key to Honda's success seems to be in knowing how to treat their female customers.

Latest findings from SpeakBack, the Honda UK customer satisfaction programme which has surveyed more than 50,000 Honda customers, back up the data from NCBS.

These findings indicate women who buy cars from Honda are happier with sales and service.

These findings are opposite to that of the national trend.

Fifty four per cent of women visiting Honda dealers rated the sales as excellent.
