Now you know why you get Warranty 
Most cars have problems and need sorting out. Subaru are meant to be the worst because the repair bills are so expensive.
Average VAux repair bill is £250 odd. Scooby was £1k+

daimo, these are recalls, vauxhall pay for all the recalls. Costs them millions each time.

I heard jeremy nobskin saying something on Top Gear about Nissan having the largest ever recall on one of thier new cars.
Although i doubt that many people even bought a Primera in this country alone!!
