J.D Powers "Most dependable after 3 years"


Recommended Posts

I'm not much for surveys, but they do tell you "something". And I know that there are people that love to hate these things. Nevertheless, I found this one interesting, as it looks at the vehicles at the 3 year point. (One more often hears of the IQS, or Initial Quality Study which looks at the first 90 days.) So these were 2002 models. PP100 is Problems Per 100 vehicles.

Some interesting results about two-thirds of the way down (or more). Look where VW and Audi ended up. And Mercedes-Benz. And Nissan. Just some of the makes that caught my eye.

 

I suspect this post will spark some dialog. :)
