All I got out of that article is that there are definitely too many whingers around. There is no way that 60% of new cars are lemons(stupid media). To me, a lemon is a car with issues that render it undriveable or not fit to do what it was designed for (to commute in everyday conditions) and the manufacturer cannot repair it to drive the way it should. Oh I forgot, if I cant connect my nokia 5110 through Bluetooth, it must be a lemon. There are definitely lemon vehicles out there and some dealers/manufacturers that may try to dodge responsibility but it is nowhere near the 60% mark. Having said all of that, my wife currently owns a car that some would say is a lemon with an unfixable issue. It has been stressful paying for a brand new car and getting something that started to drive worse than my 20 year old skyline within a few thousand km. It took the manufacturer 2.5 years to admit there was a fault and develop a fix that worked. We where ready to pull the pin on it and sell it but we are now quite happy with it and hope it gives us trouble free service from now on. Will I ever by another car from that company? good question, probably depends on the future reliability of the said lemon
