These types of lists and ratings are so much BS. Shall we rank which color is better? How about which is the best minute out of each hour? Or flavor of ice cream? Oh, yeah right, that one was very important last year as one of the more serious questions reporters asked Biden. /s
Out of curiosity, does a broken wiper blade and a blown up engine each count as one problem?
They’d have value if they included things like “how many miles are on your car and how many times have you been broken down on the side of the road due to a mechanical issue?”
Instead they include things like “any problems with your radio?” Every response that says “yeah, my iPhone doesn’t always connect right away so I can play Spotify” turns into a ding against the company’s “reliability”.
It’s total BS. Main reason why Ford has done so poorly on these for a while: they have clunky software running their radio. Does the car go from A to B? Oh sure, but if I can’t listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival the whole time, what’s the point?!
I don’t take anything associated with JD Power seriously.
I’ve had Lexus I think the second year they opened the dealerships here.
Latest is an RX450hybrid F-Sport. Best car I’ve ever had.
Also have a 2013 IS450 convertible F-Sport.
Not just the car, it’s the whole experience. I would buy American if American companies made the best and had the best service. They don’t and they don’t.
JD Powers polls new owners to determine reliability of current model year cars. Main issue with the current cars is one of technical issues such as how to work the radio, etc. the JD Power survey is not designed to determine long term reliability. There are studies of older registered, high mileage vehicles. These help determine which cars last the longest.
