39006 Shuffle you are an idiot. The JD Power

[meinzer]

39006 Shuffle you are an idiot. The JD Power survey is about initial 90 day quality. Who cares about a car the first 90 days? What matters is after the 5 year warranty expires. This is where consumer reports and others come into play.

[haimowitz]

Another thing, as I eloquently explained in a post on the money forum: How JD Power does the ranking. < Handle47 > 2009-06-22 11:06:56 J.D. Power’s rankings were based on questionnaires from 80,900 people who bought or leased new 2009 vehicles between February and May. The questionnaires ask 228 questions on issues from handling, braking and engine trouble, to seat comfort and stereo systems. The rankings are closely watched by automakers and consumers, and are frequently used in advertising. However, some critics question whether they show any real statistical difference between automakers. Mini’s ranking, for example, equates to 1.65 problems per vehicle. Top-performer Lexus had 84 problems per 100 vehicles, or 0.84 per vehicle. So on average, less than one problem per vehicle separates the best brand from the worst.

Another money forum link jd power is worthless. they give higher < deezy_dubbs > 2009-05-24 09:13:58 ratings to companies that buy more of their consulting services. also new car reliability is a dumb metric. you want to look at reliability 5 years down the road. consumer reports has the most reliable ratings. You are misleading from ignorance.
