Emira issues and timeline poll. New car quirks or constant trouble?

[Ray01010010]

This is my first post here since I just bought a second hand FE Emira V6 Manual! It's only got 2200km on it so I'm kinda wondering could it be that it stayed so long at the dealer the previous owner actually hadn't got much chance to drive it?

From reading all the posts I can see that Emira had lots of issues initially but the number of issues reduced with time. I haven't seen anyone doing a poll regarding time and issues so this one is to fill the gap! We could see if Emira is a constant trouble or just had a few quirks common to a new car hitting production line.

Also my definitions here:
- Minor issue: the car can still be driven on the road but the issue is still affecting day to day satisfaction. For example software bugs, , finish imperfections and light water leakage that are promptly fixed
- Major issue: the car can't safely go on the road without the issue fixed. For example fuel leaks, engine failures and persistent water leakage


Please choose one option for a year!

What does the composite blistering count as? Minor as it is cosmetic and the car still drives - or major as the car needs to be off the road for weeks to get it repaired?

AFAIK, blistering is definitely absolutely a MAJOR issue!
