Academic Research on Customized Cars

Hi,
I am Ekin Birol. I am a graduate student at Istanbul Technical University in the Industrial Design Department. I'm doing a research on mass customization on the automobile industry. In order to gather data for my masters thesis, I've prepared an online survey for customized automobile users. I'd really appreciate if you, as 'Mini' owners, can take 5 minutes and fill the survey. The results of the survey will only be used for academic purposes.

Thank you.

I second Vollgas' question.

What's your thesis about?

You're introducing a lot of selection bias into your results by asking a crowd like this questions like those.
