It's no wonder Porsche owns this segment. It seems the Jaguar is a poor man's Aston.
1. Porsche (80 PP100)
2. Kia (86 PP100)
3. Jaguar (93 PP100)
"provides manufacturers and consumers with information on quality after 90 days of new-vehicle ownership."
90 days, not 20,000 miles. 90 days is much more of the "I don't like the way the radio works" rather than the "this part fell apart after 2 years worth of driving condensed into a year"
and without seeing the actual breakdown of the scores it isn't that useful because it doesn't tell which makes had complaints about locations of buttons and which had complaints about handles falling off. One of which you can tell during a thorough test drive, the other you can't.
"the study was redesigned to divide consumer-reported problems into two main categories: defect/malfunctions and design issues. Defect/malfunctions include a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item. Design problems include components or features that may be functioning as designed, but are perceived as difficult to use or understand, or in a poor location. Results from both categories are further divided into eight sub-categories?including the driving experience, the engine/transmission, exterior, and interior?to provide even more detail."
you can argue it a hundred different ways and from different perspectives. it may not be useful information to you but it would be to many. it is particularly a good start, and useful to jaguar, in turning around a decades old perception of jaguar's poor reputation for quality.
I just tried to point that out in a nicer way the first time.
As throwback pointed out not falling apart in 90 days is no achievement and if it falls apart in 2 years worth of driving that makes the surviving 90 days even less impressive.
