You bet I am signing up with my new A5. I have my Mazda Cx-5 on there, and they really do not spam. Every quarter I am asked for an update. If you have no problems, you simply reply, no issues, and you are done. You are providing a service that will alert potential owners to problem areas so they can make an intelligent decision. This will help to make manufacturers accountable for engineering screwups and not use their buyers as beta testers.

Thanks for putting a good word in.

It is very hard to get manufacturers to accept responsibility for their screw-ups. I've certainly tried, and hope to eventually be able to do more in this area.

For those reading this who haven't yet signed up, I hope you'll consider it.
