Charisma of Soichiro Honda and the F1 boom made him a captive of Honda

It was the fascination with Honda that got Mr. Ote interested in the ‘City’ in the first place.

“The passion of the founder, Soichiro Honda, and Ayrton Senna’s success in F1. A friend of mine owned an S800, and I was given a ride on it, which also made me realize the joys of Honda cars. From these various influences, I grew to love Honda.”

By the way, the pride of being a Honda enthusiast can be well understood by the fact that his daily-use vehicle is the current ‘Civic’. Of course, he also owns a ‘Moto Compo’, which is a must for ‘City’ owners. On this day, I was impressed that he was enjoying the event to the fullest, as he and his friends went out for a little tour on the ‘Moto Compo’ during the meeting.

“The truth is, I wasn’t interested in Moto Compo. That’s why I didn’t buy one at the time. However, as a City owner, I knew I had to have this one, so I got it from an acquaintance.”

The two first generation Citys, a ‘Turbo I’ and a ‘Cabriolet’, are being cared for by owners who are full of Honda love.
