There's not enough of them around to know if they're reliable :)

Note that they've observed the fault in 19 cars, which is
0.02% of cars that have had the failure.
Based on that, if just 2 380's have a failure, they have a
higher failure rate. I followed one this morning that had no
brake lights working at all. If there is 1 more 380 in the
country with failed brakelights than BZZZT, the 380's are worse.

mmal probably pissed himself with joy when he see's Holden recalls.
Revenge is sweet when the 380 sales flop even more. :-)

Its funny how people can gloat about other manufacturers recalls and yet
when its their favourite brand they say nothing or try and bend over and
defend it. I wonder if they keep forgetting about Mitsu's recall covering
up tactics. A great way to secure trust in a brand shhh lets hide the
defect and no one knows. Either someone gets killed or injured by the
defect. Fingers can only get into ears so deep. ;-)

Ahhh the Holden apologist jumps in.

You'd better tell me all about MMAL's coverups.....Oh that's right,
according to you they were covered up.

Holden...maintaining its place as the most fault ridden Australian
car.....Good Work!

More likely, like me, he smiled wryly in thanks that he'd not bought
yet another Holden lemon but instead had paid far less for as good a
car without problems.
