Honda’s North American division has awarded Joe LoCicero a brand new 2012 Accord sedan after he hit the one-million mile (1 609 000) mark in his 1990 model.
Joe's million-mile journey over the past 15 years is “a testament to Honda's reliability, and reinforces Honda's reputation for building rock-solid, dependable cars”, says the car maker.
Joe drives an average of 100 500km a year and began keeping detailed records at around 480 000km.
He has taken more than 661 photos of his odometer and Honda fans have been following his journey on www.millionmilejoe.com as he approached the one-million mile mark.
Joe was presented with his new set of keys in a surprise parade in Saco, Maine in America on October 23.
The one-block-long celebratory parade included a giant odometer float, marching bands from local schools and theatre stilt walkers.
Honda's strong reliability is renowned and has been recognised by publications such as What Car? and Which? In the 2011 What Car?/Warranty Direct survey, Honda was rated the UK's most reliable car manufacturer for an unprecedented sixth year in a row. Honda also retained the No2 spot in the 2011 JD Power Vehicle Ownership Satisfaction Study - the highest-placed volume manufacturer - with the Accord topping the family car category.
