The survey was based on the number of repair claims per 100 cars by manufacturer.

Therefore how would the survey be distorted?

depends on the person too. the person likely to buy a honda is likely to take care of it and drive few miles. people that buy small cars do lots of stop start miles etc

they worked it out to a 100 probably by taken total amount sold, and total repaired

then worked out an average

so in theory, i would say more audis about then skodas, plus skodas are typically bought by older people who plod around

Interesting that skoda and Seat came in ahead of VW, yet to the best of my knowledge, the majority of the later Seat/Skoda range all use VW running gear. Bit strange that .

but the dealers are better, and the cars are cheaper

allthough your buying the same product, VW owners expect so much more

Saab ( or, Swedish And Always Broken) use their own engines, that's half their trouble.
