Martina ‘busta’ move with Honda HR-V

Honda has upgraded its HR-V and given it a whole new makeover, and Martina Dawkins is thankful for this upgrade. She knew that she would be the winner of the 2023 Honda HR-V in the Busta Hot Wheels promotion. She bought several cases of product and entered several times every day to ensure that she would cop the top spot. The promotion, held across 10 Caribbean islands and 250,000 entries, saw one lucky winner from Jamaica copping the top prize of the new vehicle.

The Red 2023 Honda HR-V boasts a 1498CC petrol engine with CVT Transmission, and it also looks totally different from the outgoing model while sharing its platform with the Honda Civic.

The spacious and comfortable all-new HR-V is a joy to behold and even better to drive. A wider frame and expanded glass areas create a powerful look from the outside, while enhancing the view from the inside. The HR-V is engineered with an i-VTEC engine with a 16-valve DOHC configuration, including 119-horsepower to get you where you want to go.

Martina will be able to listen to her playlists like never before with the available eight-speaker sound system and orchestrate it all through the touch-screen or steering wheel- mounted controls.

Martina could not contain her excitement, saying she was at work when she got the call and finally got the car, in hand, on her 20th birthday.

“I was at work when I got the call. I was lucky enough to be able to answer at the time because we can’t really use phones at work. When I heard that I won, I was overjoyed, jumping and screaming in shock. I’m very thankful to Busta for this. It’s definitely a life-changing experience and one I will never forget, ” Dawkins said.

Chana Hay, general manager of Facey Commodity Co Ltd, said the company enjoyed quite a bit of success with its Mills Christmas promotion and definitely wanted to keep giving back. “In all, we gave away close to JMD 10 million because we know the hardships families faced in preparation for back to school. We are excited and encouraged that our customers really got involved and took full advantage of the promotion,” Hay said.

As part of the Hot Summer Wheels promotion, consumers had to purchase a bottle of Busta or Classic soft drink or Turbo energy drink and submit their name, a mobile or telephone number, and the eight-digit code printed on the bottle to a WhatsApp number or via website link. In addition to the car, there were over 100 weekly winners collectively receiving more than US$15,000 in cash and Amazon Ggift cards.

“We made a lot of people happy over the nine weeks of the promotion, and we are happy to be able to do that,” Hay continued.
