My Dad has an Allegro estate when I was a child, was the last 'banger' we had before getting a 'proper' car! And my Grandad has one of the '80s Rover 200s, that was based on the Honda Ballade, and wasn't a bad car :-/ Wonder which 200 they are including, as there were three versions....
'By the end of the decade it was Britain's fifth best selling car - which hardly makes it a failure!
Notice that the entire list is 'British Leyland', and 'Rootes Group' BL in particular suffered massive industrial unrest and regular strikes, led by self confessed communist union leader 'Red Robbo'.

And the relevance of that to poor design would be?

The survey refers to 'poor design quality' - whatever that means.
If it is poor design, then why did so many people buy the car? If it is poor build quality, see my original post
So why did it become fifth biggest selling car ? PS - Square steering wheels can be replaced with round ones
Yes - but a design where you feel compelled to replace a basic component seems pretty rubbish.
The fact that it sold so many would be part of the reason it scores badly - more people would know about it. it increases the odds. That's part of the problem with surveys.
