Ok, everyone. If you would like to go and hand your notices into your employer, if your self employed close your business.
All done that, good stuff

Right now go and get yourself a job at a main dealer for 6 months, does not matter about what manufacture you have picked or the job you got....ok who's the cleaner then.....

Now, at the end of that 6 months of hard toil and labour you will realise that no matter the product they ALL have problems....big and small. You see the same customers come in with problems and go out with problems...then you see customers come in with no problems and go out with problems. You will have also quite a few satified customers who never have a problem...its a mass produced world, if you spent a fortune on a car then ok you expect to be ok, but please be prepared for problems they are built in as standard........I bet they are millions of cars in the world with problems it is just that the person driving does not know they are there.

I have owned the following manufacture's vehicles
Austin
Renault
Ford
Citroen
Seat
Mazda
Lexus
Fiat
BMW
Honda

All over the past 15 years, they ALL had problems, FIAT, AUSTIN, RENAULT, BMW being the worst, i have learned to except if I pay £800 to £16000 it don't make a blind bit of difference to if it goes wrong or not.
My civic has had problems just like the most of us have, I just no longer shout it from the tree tops as experience has told me NO ONE cares.

If something has a problem and it can't be fixed I either live with it or sell it.

Oh, yes the comment about civic owners be guinee pigs for Honda's testing. very true, BUT that goes without saying for ALL manufactures, they all do it, Renault deffo does
It just depends where they are with there testing to how well your vehicle will perform. The first Renault Safrane's were absolute rubbish, terrible, terrible cars always going wrong........the last ones built....all ok...a few problems but generally they were good reliable cars.

Its life.........
