How did Mitsubishi get below Chrysler? i mean holy shit.

>>15633886
Here is the rundown

-VDS looks at car ownership over 3 years, so the 2013 chart is tracking the reliability of cars sold in 2010

-Repair constitutes anything that the dealership actually opened a ticket on and payed labor against. Blown engine and customer complaint that bluetooth doesn't work are weighed the same if the dealership actually took the car into the shop to look at it

-Small, pointless dumb shit, like having a complicated infotainment system can artificially pull down a reliability score. So can having 1 or 2 things that constantly break on every model of a certain car, like a cupholder or a vent

-Getting towards the top of the chart usually indicates that a carmaker has most of their shit together for the evaluated model year, because not only do you have to have the major shit down, you have also avoided getting pulled down by dumb bullshit like what I described above.

A company essentially purchases their position on it. It is a marketing tool, not a comprehensive set of data.

Still have no idea what you are getting at

ford hasnt been so hot in 2016 either

>>15634066
2016 is the first VDS survey that caught the fucking mountain of issues they had with automatic transmissions in the Fiesta and Focus

>>15634066

Chebby must've really stepped up their shit overall in their lineup. Cadillac went down quite a bit (probably due to the CUE system like Longpostguy was mentioning)

Nissan also went down quite a bit and Porsche is closing the gap completely with Lexus.

Nice try

>>15633886
Shit posting while waiting for a tow truck, I can safely say fuck Chrysler and all its subsidiaries.

>>15634017
2013 Ford got assrammed in this survey for SYNC issues. Some was people couldn't RTFM and some was because the system really did suck, but a survey that puts, "When I say "radio on" the radio doesn't come on", and "Transmission fell out of car on the highway and as run over by traffic" on the same level has some major issues.

That's JD POWah.

Hi gm shill

>>15633919
Exactly what he said. It is a stupid bullshit survey. The more fancy bits and pieces, the worse the car is likely to be rated.

Does Porsche really have their shit together these days?

>>15634282
based on my experience with newer Porsche's, I'd say so. Build quality is solid, and all the tech is stuff that is tried and true at this point
