Lexus, Buick, Toyota and Cadillac Lead JD Power Quality List - Automobile
Buick trailed only Lexus for fewest problems per 100 vehicles from the 2012 model year in J. D. Power’s 2015 U. S. Vehicle Dependability Study released Wednesday. Buick was second, with 110 problems, followed by Toyota with 111, Cadillac with 114 and Honda and Porsche tied for fifth with 116 problems per 100 vehicles. Subaru also scored well at CR, with the Subaru Legacy chosen its best midsize sedan -- beating the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry – the Subaru Impreza chosen its best compact, and the Subaru Forester its best compact sport/utility. The fast-growing Subaru brand , which sold more than half a million in the U. S. to nab ninth-place among automakers here last year, had a J. D. Power score of 157 problems per 100 vehicles, good for 20th place and just below the industry average... Vehicle Dependability Study differs from J. D. Power’s Initial Quality Study, which surveys owners to find out what problems they had in the first few months of ownership. Source: www.automobilemag.com
