A bit like statistics, really!<\/p>\n<p>One&#160;person posts that he often gets people asking about the Minis and Astras his company uses. The whole topic immediately becomes moot, since it obviously DOES&#160;matter &#8211; and so becomes irrelevant that other pupils might not be bothered about the car.<\/p>\n<p>But this doesn&#8217;t stop another poster stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">Car does not matter. The personality of the instructor does. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>See what I mean about it being a difficult concept for some ADIs? They just can&#8217;t see beyond their own tiny world.<\/p>\n<p>Another poster made a comment about a school in his area teaching in a BMW (which he subsequently deleted), and yet he then says in another post:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people who have asked me about cars when booking lessons. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, it either matters or it doesn&#8217;t. You can&#8217;t have it all ways. You can&#8217;t acknowledge that a BMW attracts people and then say it doesn&#8217;t, particularly when <em>your <\/em>car is quite possibly one of the makes people wouldn&#8217;t choose&#8230; <em>if they had to choose (which they don&#8217;t)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The simple fact is that if the car matters to just one person, then it MATTERS. In reality&#160;it matters to a hell of a lot of people &#8211; and it would matter to the rest of them if money wasn&#8217;t <em>their <\/em>main concern. If&#160;they had a choice between a brand new Mini or a 10 year old Skoda or Corsa&#160;then it&#8217;s fairly obvious which they&#8217;d choose.<\/p>\n<p>Most pupils consider the instructor, the car, and the lesson price to be important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone has raised this as a topic on one of the forums.
