I don't value the opinion of someone whom would not buy the car....

A couple of them said they'd buy it as a SECOND car and at least one said he'd buy it as a family car (whatever that means)...

They should ask real customers, or, put me in one for a year and I will do a write up for them  :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

Agreed, Asa.

Who are these people and what makes them an authority either for or against the car.

A car sitting in room is hardly the recipe to formulate a recommendation. What about noise levels, power, handling  and safety etc, not even considered.

Thanks for posting though, Alan.

Could be interesting times ahead in 2015 for HY in UK.

My local dealership told me some time back that I would be surprised how many buyers of small to medium sized cars - especially middle aged and elderly people - who never ask for a test drive. They are happy to make their decision based on examining the car in the showroom and chatting with the salesman. Some will be trading up to a later model of the car they already own - or will have read car reviews or relied on recommendations from friends.

Scary innit.

I found it interesting thanks Alan.. But as Phil said hard to formulate a proper opinion without driving it!  :undecided:

It is scary that some don't do that!  :head_butt:

I didn't test drive a GD prior to agreeing to purchase.

I already felt I'd driven several dozen of them :D

@Shambles
I'm quite surprised at that statement, I just can't imagine buying something for long term use without making sure it fits me first. I assume you try a suit on before buying it, you DO own one don't you.  :mrgreen:

This whole  business is a total Shambles. :D

I tried the suit on, yep, and it fitted.

I just didn't go for a jog while wearing it :P
