    What broader statistic? The next step up would be cold calls and that comes with all kinds of issues of it’s own.

      There should be statistics how many cars are sold and then you could collect data from repairshops instead of users from a website. Even if a user has 3 cars, asking 1 repairshop will give you data for 100’s of cars. Its just odd to do a survey on the users of your website because thats probably a small and skewed sample size.

      Edit: “We had insufficient data to create brand rankings for Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, Lucid, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Mitsubishi, Polestar, Porsche, and Ram.” Gives you a hint on how sufficient their data is in total.

        I suppose, but they’re not necessarily going to hand over data just because you asked. Maybe it’s not the best possible choice, but it doesn’t seem odd to me at all.
