Salalah - "It was love at first sight!" laughs Mr Anil Kumar, speaking of the moment he spotted the All New Honda Jazz 2009 in the Honda Salalah Showroom. "My wife and I had driven a Jazz in Cyprus and we felt it was the ideal car for us. It's always great to buy a new car but it was really special when we found out that we were the first people in Oman to buy the New Jazz."
Mohammed Iqbal Shaikh, Honda Salalah Branch Manager had been confident that the All New Jazz 2009 would sell well given the amount of interest Honda across the sultanate had had in the vehicle: "There had been an incredible amount of enquiries about the New Jazz 2009 but even so we were delighted when the Kumars bought the first one on the very first day it arrived in the showroom."
"By chance, I was actually in Salalah when Mr and Mrs Kumar bought the first Jazz 2009 and it was a pleasure to be able to congratulate them on their new vehicle," says Paul Turner, Honda National Sales Manager.
The National Sales Manager goes on say: "It's no surprise that the All New Jazz 2009 is doing well. It's a great car for today's more urban lifestyle and the Jazz is a multiple international award winner for good reason. I cannot overstate the fantastic performance of the New Jazz which is made possible by its new 1.5L i-VTEC engine and what a difference that makes. It's very user-friendly and is also incredibly spacious inside, more like a saloon car. Of course, the Jazz is equipped with all the safety features you'd expect from Honda. The new Jazz really does set a new benchmark in this highly competitive segment. I can't think of another car in its class that can match it."
The Salalah Branch Manager comments that it's not just the performance and practicality of the Jazz that makes it a winner but also the fact that it represents outstanding value: "I think one reason we've had such a good response to the Jazz is that given today's global economic situation people are looking for value and the Jazz is certainly excellent value for money. On top of that, Hondas do extremely well on the resale market which is increasingly a factor in people's purchasing decisions."
Turner agrees and adds: "Quality is also a big factor in the current market - it's something people just don't want to compromise on and with this award winner they are certainly getting that. What's more, at Honda our commitment to quality extends to After Sales Service too. With this in mind we're extending our network to make sure that Honda drivers across the sultanate have access to top class Honda service and repairs."
