Friend for Life users’ voice “The handling (of the CR-V) is smooth, the seats are very comfortable, and my wife loves driving it too!” For as long as he can remember, Yussof Madat, a 54-year old retired <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Airlines operations officer, had always known that he would own a <strong>Honda</strong> some day. And there are two reasons for this: first, he wants to support his childhood friend/secondary schoolmate of 40 years, Francis Kong, the General Manager of the Premier Motor (<strong>Honda</strong>) dealership in Labuan; second, because of his love for the <strong>Honda</strong> name. “To me, the brand sounds impressive, reliable and longlasting,” Mr. Madat explained. In 2004, Mr. Madat’s wish to own a <strong>Honda</strong> came true when he purchased a brand new, second generation CR-V. “I had my eye on the CR-V since the launch of the first generation, but was unsuccessful in meeting loan requirements and so had to postpone my purchase. But I assured Francis that I would get a CR-V some day,” said Mr. Madat with a smile. “I love to travel. As an airline employee, I was entitled to a free air ticket every year, and only had to pay 10 per cent of the fare for subsequent air tickets. Even with such perks, I found it hard to save at times,” Mr. Madat joked. Nonetheless, Yussof one cannot help but be amazed at all the places that Mr. Madat has been: Cairo, New Zealand, Jakarta, Bali, Medan, Balipapan, Bandung, Bangkok, Manila and Singapore. When asked if the CR-V met his expectations of <strong>Honda</strong>, Mr. Madat replied, “It is more reliable than my first car. The handling is smooth, the seats are very comfortable, and my wife loves driving it too!” Mr. Madat’s eldest son, a 26-year old university graduate working at the local port, recently purchased a used <strong>Honda</strong> Jazz a month back because he was unwilling to wait a few months for a brand new one. Mr. Madat added jokingly, “My second son is 16-years old and still in school. He likes sports cars. Maybe he’ll ask me to get him a Civic Type R when he’s old enough to drive.” Just like driving his CR-V is enjoyable, so is sending his <strong>Honda</strong> vehicles to Premier Motor when it’s time for routine servicing. Mr Madat explains, “When I come here, I get to catch up with my old friends. The waiting time isn’t long too, about less than an hour.” When asked what vehicle he was thinking of purchasing next, Mr. Madat Yussof Madat's dream to own a CR-V has come true. replied in an instant, “The new 2.0S Model <strong>Honda</strong> Civic. It has very attractive digital meters.” It’s easy to see the friendship Mr. Madat shares with the people at Premier Motor – and with <strong>Honda</strong> – will last for many years to come.
