Anyone else annoyed by getting a ton of automotive surveys after buying a BRZ/FRS?
I've been receiving quite a lot of junk mail since buying my BRZ a few months ago, and it's getting pretty annoying. Most of them are pretty damn long too. Why would I take my time to fill them out and send them back when it doesn't even benefit me in any way? I've been getting mail from a few different companies, but I seem to get this exact same survey from "Strategic Vision" about every other week. How can I stop this?? Or is there any way to stop it?
Maybe I should just fill the return envelope with newspapers or something and send them back. |

Yeah I got a fue as well for the FRS. I only bothered with the one from scion. I also did a survey on how my experience was with the car dealership itself.

I've gotten 3 so far.
And I've taken this opportunity to slam the car for being underpowered

I actually wanted to fill out a survey about the dealership and salesman that sold me the car because he was a cool guy. And I never received that one. I even called the dealership to ask for it and they said they'd send me one, and I still never got it. Instead I'm getting all these crap surveys. I called the company that sends me that same survey I posted every other week, and they said that Subaru isn't even connected with them. But I've only been getting them since buying my BRZ. Even though I asked to be taken off their mailing list, I still keep receiving them.

That survey I posted a picture of is 6 pages long. And I get it pretty often. Even if I only received it once, it's not worth my time to do a 6 page survey and receive absolutely nothing in return.

Is there weight limit on these letters? I'm thinking of just stuffing the envelope with a bunch of other junk mail and sending it back to them, since they won't take me off their mailing list.

You knew what you were getting right? If you wanted cheap AND horsepower you might have been better off with something else like a 10 year old Corvette, Mustang GT, Camaro SS, etc etc. |

It happens pretty much every time you buy a new car.
Fill it out only if you actually want manufactures to know what you think of the car. That way they can improve it. Taking 10 minutes to fill out a survey to actually help improve future versions of the car is better than spending 100 hours on an internet forum bitching about the car. I've actually gotten money in mine. I think I received two total. |

so you say you have no time to fill out a survey, but you have the time to whine about it here and stuff envelops with newspaper?
