And its introduction...
And its introduction means the gloves are now off in the battle to be hot hatch king, as the car will go head-to-head with the forthcoming Ford Focus ST. Both are aimed at keen drivers, with VW desperate to address criticisms that the MkIV GTI was too soft for fans of the coveted original model.
First and foremost...
First and foremost, we want to know how your car performs, if it is reliable or prone to breakdowns, if it"s good to drive - in fact, detail of your ownership experience. But in addition, for 2006 we have given our survey a revamp to reflect the changing face of Britain"s roads, delving deeper into the issues that matter to you.
That"s why it"s crucial that you complete the Driver Power 2006 questionnaire and tell us if your car is a winner or a sinner. All the forms will then be entered into one central database and analysed by our experts. The results will be easier to digest and more in depth than ever before, published in three special Auto Express reports throughout 2006. What"s more, taking part gives you the chance to win ÷£25,000, because every reader completing the survey is automatically entered into our prize draw. So, fill in the questionnaire and you could be a ÷£25,000 winner, too!
What is Driver Power?
Now in its fifth year, Driver Power is the definitive motoring reliability and satisfaction survey. Car manufacturers, government officials, police officers, insurance companies and the car buying public are all waiting with bated breath to hear your views. From your data, we rank cars and dealers and provide detailed analysis of all aspects of motoring today.
Didn"t I fill this in last year?
If you did, we"re asking you to do so again, because it"s vital that Driver Power 2006 is the most up-to-date survey in the business. Every year, our databanks are refilled with another 12 months" information, so that we can see how motoring is evolving. However, don"t forget that scores for individual models are not carried over from last year. No matter how strong a car"s report in 2005, it starts again from scratch for 2006.
Is my car eligible?
Absolutely. No matter what you drive, we want your views.
What"s in it for me?
The more people who fill in the questionnaire, the more informative we can make our final reports. However, we understand that time is precious, so in return for your views and opinions, we will enter you into a prize draw to win a whopping ÷£25,000.
What do I have to do?
The Driver Power 2006 questionnaire has been redesigned to make it even easier for you to fill in. It should only take you a few minutes!
