Most Dependable Vehicles Named
J.D. Power and Associates has recently released the result of their study to find out which cars are the most dependable. They have selected to conduct their study on three-year old vehicles. The result is that car buyers find Toyota and Lexus brands the most dependable vehicles and vehicle brands. The study also shows that the dependability of non-luxury cars is almost at par with that of a luxury car.
The cited reason for this fact is the improvements being made by car makers on their non-luxury vehicles. Systems which car makers are now turning their attention to are ride, handling, braking, engine and transmission. The efficiency of non-luxury cars is also nearing that of luxury cars thanks to aftermarket parts like the Chevy cold air intake system.
The Vehicle Dependability Study conducted by the Global Marketing Information Services measures the number of problems encountered by motorists on their car. They only took into account three year old cars which mean those released for the 2003 model year. J.D. Power and Associates scored the vehicles based on the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Lexus came out on top as the most dependable car as it has done for the past 11 years. This is the twelfth year that Lexus garnered the distinction. While a luxury brand sits on top of the leader board, the second and third spot is occupied by non-luxury brands. This shows that non-luxury brands are almost as dependable as luxury cars. Lexus got a score of 136 PP100. Following Lexus in the leader board is Mercury with 151 PP100, while Buick takes the third spot with 153 PP100. Fourth place is another luxury brand, Cadillac which achieved a score of 163 PP100. Toyota, another non-luxury brand comes in at fifth with 179 PP100. The top five shows three non-luxury brands and two luxury brands.
The bottom five though is composed entirely of luxury brands except Honda. The Asian car maker made it to the sixth place with 194 PP100. After Honda comes four luxury brands, these are Jaguar, BMW, Infiniti, and Lincoln. Jaguar sits in seventh place with 210 PP100 while following close behind is BMW with 212 PP100. Infiniti also follows BMW closely with 215 PP100. Lincoln brings the rear with 220 PP100. Those ten brands are the most dependable brands according to the survey, and with more development being undertaken, these brands will become more and more dependable.
Aside from naming the ten most dependable brands in the market, the study also revealed the most dependable vehicle in sixteen categories. Of the sixteen categories, Lexus and Toyota each topped four. Honda managed to get to the top three segments while GM has four. The Ford Motor Company came up with two.
For the Sub-Compact category, the most dependable is the Toyota Echo. The Honda Civic meanwhile is the most dependable Compact Car. The Mazda Miata bagged the title for the Compact Sporty Car category. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo tops the Midsize Sporty Car category. For the Midsize Car category, the Buick Century stood out. The Mercury Grand Marquis topped the Large Car category. The Honda S2000 is the most dependable Compact Premium Sporty Car while the Acura CL topped the Entry Premium Car category. Lexus topped the Midsize Premium Car, large Premium Car, and the Premium Sporty Car category with the Lexus GS, LS 430, and the SC 430 respectively. Toyota topped the Compact Multi-Activity Vehicle, Midsize Multi-Activity Vehicle, and Large Pickup categories with the RAV-4, Highlander, and Tundra respectively. The GMC Yukon topped the Large Multi-Activity Vehicle category while the Ford Ranger topped the Midsize Pickup category.Given her background on cars as an auto insurance director, Lauren Woods finds the world of cars to be constantly changing.
