The problem with these sort of "surveys" is that they don't allow for the
fact that some faults are more serious than others. Some of the things that
the article mentions includes "engine trouble", "body parts", "electrical
gremlins", and "squeaks and rattles". Now, I dunno about anyone else here,
but I'd rather have a car with squeaks and rattles, than a car having engine
trouble.
The other thing that is problematic with these surveys is a lot of problem
reporting is based on whether the owner deems it a problem. For example, the
owner of a hyundai will probably be more likely to accept a few squeaks and
rattles, than the owner of a BMW.

Really does make a good read.
Mitsubishi beats Holden and Ford in every category!
POS Commodore and Falcon can only manage to build half their cars
without faults!!!

Its fucking convinced me to go out and buy a 380 now after reading that.
I don't need to look at other cars now the survey has done my thinking for
me.

The 380GT looks the go its full of luxury items but its slower than the
base model.

After all that I will sell my 4WD and the house and check myself into a
mental asylum. By the time I get out the 380 would be worth $2000 and then
I would shoot myself. :-)

If you say so.

Apart from the 'Sales' category, it would seem.

And the people who buy every other make & model which outsells the 380,
which is basically that people don't want it.

It makes up for it in quality and resale.

Yeah it really says that they are not interested in the 380 at all. I mean
FFS when are you mitsu shills are going to get it through your thick
skulls? coz obviously you ain't helping 380 sales at all. A Subaru Liberty
makes the 380 look like a Morris Marina in comparison in mid sized family
cars.
