I was studying on a text and I really didn't understant something. Could you look at it please?
Hi,
I was studying on a text and I really didn't understant something. What do you think about line part in the following pharagraph? What does it mean? Especially fo red and lined part!
Thanks in advance...
Mr Sargent said that reliability in cars is improving every year. In the past two years, the industry average has improved from 237 problems per 100 vehicles to 206. Land Rover, sold earlier this year to India's Tata Motors, was the worst-performing brand, with 344 problems. Sargent also said the “seriousness” of the problems was decreasing. The complaints being reported a few years ago were “hard” problems, such as serious technical defects. Sargent said these were becoming less common. He told reporters it is now more likely that car owners will complain about “soft” problems, like strange noises or wear and tear of the car’s interior[1]. He added that: "Improved quality is good for everybody, [especially] for the consumers, who don't have the annoyance[2] of problems [and costs]."
[1] NOUN the inside part of something.
[2] ANNOY (VERB) to make someone angry // ANNOYENCE (NOUN)

Hello kikima, and welcome to English Forums.
Think of it as "With better quality, the people who buy the cars don't have to deal with/worry about/put energy into fixing the problems" or "they won't have to feel annoyed that they have to address the problems."

Not really.
Let's say one person bought a car a few years ago and one person bought a car a few months ago.
The first person had a lot of problems with the car. He had to take it to the dealer to get things fixed. He lost time from work, he had to spend time in the waiting room or at home without a car, while it was fixed. It was annoying. Maybe he had to rent a car while his was

There is nothing that says she will not have anything annoying about the car EVER.
It will simply be LESS for her than for her friend with the older car, who had many problems.
