2500, a really insignificant number when you compare how many drivers there are on the road.

I am single handedly trying to raise Mazda driver rankings on this survey.....
I must try harder in future, surely Mazda can knock off VW with all its MPS models... |

surveys like this mean nothing, and as said, 2500 people is no way to guage a trend.

Does this really surprise anyone? The thread will get it's knockers saying that you can't stereotype blah blah blah but really, Holden were always going to win this one. I'm just amazed that we didn't atleast get second :(

Ford drivers are more likely to brag about it whether they placed first or fifth in a poll. we dont need a poll for that statistic.
