supposedly the full thing might be on http://www.topgear.com, but I can't get to the site at the minute as it just times out.
As you saw from the programme, many people with low rated cars reported having no problems so I wouldn't worry about where your car comes in an owner satisfaction survey as I feel the results can be a little distorted at times as there are motives involved.
My friend kept his S2000 for all of a few months....and ditched it for a Renault. What does that say about satisfaction? He didn't complete the survey though, perhaps the bald, boring, sterile, middle aged men that drive Honda's were the only ones that replied.

850 T5. mmmm Turbo!
well id have mine at the bottom, its the worst car i have ever owned, the best on paper, and economy but full of problems, and the worse customer service out there.
even though renault keep coming at the bottom, they still dont do anything about it, so the servey is just a waste of time IMO!

I think at the end of the day people know that they get what they pay for. French cars are at the bottom but they are also amongst the cheapest and thats with the some of the highest levels of standard kit.
You can tell someone that a Lexus is more reliable and they would probably believe you but still go out and buy a French car. Quite why they then go and sl*g it off in a satisfaction survey because bits fall off I don't know. The £5k or whatever you save on the price should be adequate compensation for having to drive a 1.2 courtesy car for a few days whilst your car is being fixed for free under the warranty.

thats crap, it really is, if u buy a car whatever the price bits should NOT fall off, we should NOT accept a car thats faulty, if you buy a cheep cooker, would you be ok eating takeaway if i breaks down once a month???
No is the answer, but for some reason people buy them and accept their faults, and live with a courtesy car, its a break from peoples daily routines going to the reno garage, and if thats true its f**king sad!
Clio 182

So basically the entire car?
Edit: Clio on this page http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2005/11/stories/01/8.html
Hmm, check out the number of stars the Megane (152) picks up compared to the 206 (151... 1 place better). The Megane appears to have a better average but has been placed below the Pug.
With these things, the model as a whole is always going to finish low, French cars just aren't very good on the whole, compared to the leaps that German, Jap and even English manufacturers have made recently. An RS-only survey would probably see it perform marginally better, but probably not that much considering you would then have to include all the sport derivatives from all the manufacturers...
Who cares? Me? No, I love my car, rattles 'n' all.

S2000
Sorry I disagree with you. We have an S2000 and a 182 Cup. I'm not bald, boring etc and neither is my missus. The S2000 is a fantastic car - just make sure you take the cod liver oil when getting in and out of the car.Toypop said:
