what would lead you to lose 'brand loyalty'?

I've still got an '88 LC, it bits obviously!

 

When they moved HP Sauce from the midlands to Holland but kept the Houses of Parliament on the label I refused to buy it (it's a funny word in this instance, refused - it's not like I was given a hard sell, I simply didn't stop at that point of the store aisle, but anyway, not one ounce darkened my door).

After a few months I realised the impact this was having on my bacon sandwich options and folded - I reason it tastes the same, the HOP wasn't in the midlands and the people that used to make it are probably gainfully employed now.

As for car loyalty - never had any huge issues with any cars I've had - put it this way - the car I own now is the only one ever that was bought from a dealer that had cups of tea with those posh rounded edge sugar cubes - the rest I've expected Marmite service and got better than expected.

 

Having had 3 new nissan work vans 2 cabstars 1 primastar i would never buy a nissan whether it be car or van, maybe the cars are different but the build quality on the vans is awful, my current one is 3 1/2 years old and already has perforated rust on the wheel tub, the exhaust has fallen off within the 1st year on 2 of them, leaky diff on one, wire feed to a brake light corroded and broken on another, rattly engines whiny turbo's, poor design, The list goes on.

 

Fella, you bought a Skoda. Nuff said

 

I thought the Primastar was the same as a Vauxhall Vivaro - my old business partner swears by the Vauxhall versions, he loves them! Wonder if they are different (presumed it was the same factory, different badges), there was a Renault version of the same thing as I recall...

 

I run 2 x Merc Vito and get no trouble at all from them.

 

in truth out of the 3, the primastar was better than the cabstars, but still pretty poor quality over all. gearbox trouble with one if i remember.

 

Snob.

its a VW with a different badge. Nuff said
