The thing is, running changes get made, often to improve reliability, even though the specs stay the same.

On the number of people signed up--closer to the minium, but not there yet.

That's great and thanks. Michael is a good guy, and his database is very useful as a basis for comparing reliability over time among makes and models. It provides more info than any other database on reliability that I've seen.

However, until he gets enough F-Types into the system, we won't have this info on our cars.

Signed up. Sounds like a good initiative that we can all benefit from in the long term.

mkaresh,
Do I assume correctly that you would prefer that I hold off signing up until I actually take delivery of the car?

Yes, you assumed correctly.

Those who are signed up receive a quarterly e-mail with a link. When you click on the link, it takes less than 5 seconds to click the appropriate responses, which are essentially:

a) Did your car require a service visit in the last quarter other than routine maintenance?

b) If yes, was the problem corrected?

c) Current mileage?

You can't respond without a car in your possession.

Thanks, guys. Up to eleven cars each for the 2014 and 2015. The latter was added to the survey a few months ago, since it will get to 25+ if people keep signing up at the rate they have been.

Correct that you won't be able to respond before getting the car. But no harm done if you sign up earlier. It's possible to indicate through the survey that you don't yet have a car.

With the quarter ending, we're about to start the next round of the survey. We might get enough responses this time for an initial stat, but more likely that we'll end up one or two cars short.

So at least a couple more participants would be very helpful.

I'll sign up as soon as the car is delivered, but that won't be until July or August.

Me, too. It looks like we'll have an initial stat for the 2015 in August. For a reasonably precise stat we'll need at least ten more owners involved, so hopefully people continue to join.

I'm a little late but signed up today. Hopefully we will have useful information start trickling in.

Thanks, guys. Late is much better than never.

I imagine not many people have 2016s yet, so it could be another quarter or two before enough are signed up.

Is anyone actually ordering one with a manual transmission?

We still don't have enough of the 2014s to include them in the survey, and while we have enough 2015s to provide some stats, they'll have asterisks for "small sample size" until we have more.

In other words, we continue to need more people signed up for all model years.
