EDIT: Adding 328xi to list.

Hey Guys,
I am working on a research project for school where I am comparing different luxury sports cars that have all-wheel drive. The five cars I am comparing are:

BMW 335xi/328xi
Audi A4
Infiniti G35x/G37x
Lexus IS250 AWD
Mercedes C300 4Matic Sport Sedan

I need to perform an interview with owners of any of these cars. If you own a 335xi or 328xi (or any of the other cars), would you mind filling out the following interview? You can reply here, or email the response to hendricksonmj123 AT yahoo DOT com.

Thanks in advance!

Mike

If you really want to do this right, use a survey tool such as surveymonkey or you will never be able to make sense of the responses.

Thanks, although I only really need 1 or 2 good interviews to include in my report, and I would have to pay to be able to create more than 10 questions on surveymonkey.

Where do you go to school? Graduate or undergrad?

1 or 2 interviews isn´t statistically significant. Do you want individual impressions or numbers you can use to compare the various vehicles?

You might want to spend the $20 for S-monkey (you´ll only need it for a month for this) and have everyone fill out a uniform survey.

I'm just going for an AA at one of the local community colleges here (trying to use up my GI Bill before it runs out). I'm mostly just looking for individual impressions. I'm getting all of my numbers and statistics from other forms of research.

Who said, "if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right"?

Seriously, you could also use the Poll feature in this forum for free and get better results and data.
