The best car brands named

United States Agency J. D. Power and Associates has published a reliability rating of automobiles, which is based on the results of a survey of more than 80 000 drivers. And it turned out the Americans recognized the Lexus as the best mark this year. Porsche is in the second place, while the top three winners closes Cadillac.

It should be noted that in this case not only the number of breakdowns per 100 vehicles were take into account. Drivers were asked to evaluate his car on 228 criteria. Including indicating problems with the ergonomics, deceived expectations of the owner and so on. In general, absolutely all the criticism and the whims of drivers were taken into account.

According to experts from J. D. Power and Associates, this year there was a serious leap forward in improving the quality of vehicles. Whereas in the past year for every 100 cars on the industry average was 118 criticism, it is already 108 this year. And ten points in just one year is a lot. With regard to the leaders, we can note the progress of Lexus. Even last year, the brand was assessed in 99 reprimands, and this year it is already 84. Due to this Lexus was able to get ahead of Porsche (90 problems per 100 vehicles). Moreover, Lexus LX model received the least amount of criticism among the models – only 52.

In addition, experts note the brand Suzuki – the company has committed a real jump from 32th to 9th place overall.

It’s worth noting the principal losers of the rating of J. D. Power and Associates. It is not strange, but in most of the claims the Americans had against the Mini – about 165 criticisms. Land Rover with 150 overall criticisms does not look too good as well. American drivers are not satisfied with such brands as Smart, Saab, Jeep, Hummer, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Jaguar, and Dodge.
