Honda Logo

The Logo was on sale between April 2000 and January 2001 and so by our reckoning had the shortest on-sale run of any mainstream car sold in the UK in the modern era, cracking just nine months. Why? It was a dated and dull supermini that was memorable for absolutely nothing – except it seems it was extremely reliable. That was partly because it came with so little kit that there wasn’t much to go wrong, but also because it was Japanese. The Logo was introduced not long before the first Jazz – a vastly better car – to give Honda a toehold in this class, and indeed the current Mk4 Jazz is one of the best superminis around. About 600 Logos remain on UK roads, and they occasionally come up for sale at around £900.
