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?!
“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?!”
The main reason for buying SOME cars has nothing to do with A or B, reliability or anything else except one thing... chick magnets (why hello Jaguar, hi Corvette!).
They should be rated scientifically on that basis, forget everything else. ;-)
I mean, if your new Jaguar has done its job otherwise and then breaks down on a lonely road at night, is that necessarily a bad thing?
