Hundreds and probably thousands of 159's and Breras have been sold. How can you possibly rely on the experiences of 46 people out of thousands.
It's anecdotal at best.

Errhhh cos its quite common for comparatively small samples to be extrapolated as an indication of the whole. For example, polls as to what political party people are going to vote for may only have surveyed a thousand people - this is still representative of the millions who will vote.
The important thing is to get a good cross section - where is the evidence that the sample is skewed? How many 159/Brera owners are there on this site??? 46 is, in my opinion, a high number.
