Other more useful polls have been posted in the past asking how many problems people have had and how many tries it took to fix them. Much more useful numbers, given that the average car in the industry has at least one problem.

I'm sorry you had such trouble with your Cooper but I'm glad you got your money back. No need to gloat.

If the poll was that silly then why bother posting a reply at all? Or is that a terribly English Attitude. I was considering whether to get another Cooper which was the reason for the Poll.....not to 'gloat' as you put it.

I have owned 11 cars from new and most of them have been completely fault free within the first year of ownership which doesn't really quite agree with your 'industry statistics'.

Most of the users comments on this site have been helpful and friendly. Except yours.
