Friends of ours bought a brand new 1.2 many years ago and we thought they were totally mad. The first few months proved us correct, it spent more time in the garage being completed than on the road. Obviously the factory sent the car out with no quality checks whatsoever.
Once the dealer had finished building the car it was totally trouble free until they finally scrapped it. It ended its life at Uni with No 2 daughter but age and a hard life eventually caught up with it....

We've been knowingly living with various spyware from the first days of the paper disc tachograph in lorries, and now with remote accessible digi tachograph able to be read on the move by a suitably equipped (VOSA/DVSA/whatever we call ourselves this week) vehicle alongside such as passing slowly on the motorway...this is quite apart from the myriad of supplementary spying equipment modern transport admin fetishise over.
