WTF No way..

MB's are more reliable then BMW's?! O_O!

I’m not surprised to see BMW below average in quality. I've leased 3 BMW's over 7 years and I've had issues. The 6 series had the least amount of issues I assume because I didn't drive it much, my first BMW was a 325i sedan and it was basically a lemon it had so many issues. Now, I got my 335i 3 months ago and I've already had 2 issues. First issue was the trim on the passenger door had to be replaced because it cracked. The reason, the trim itself was not properly installed at the factory and cracked over time. Second issue, an intermittent malfunction error for the exterior bulb (very common issue with the 3 series) comes on one day, disappears the next. Thankfully I lease.

not enough numbers sold to qualify for survey... or judging from what people post on the internet, they've all either been crashed or have burned to the ground :cry:

whoa.... mercedes-benz is just behind honda?!?! almost everyone i know with a (newer) MB have told me never to buy one and they would never own one ever again :o

and i'm shocked to see that subaru scored so low... we've had subarus in the family since 1985 and all of them have been bombproof :thumbsup:

IQS is typically flawed anyways.

Hummer scores low due to "poor gas mileage"
Until JDS standardizes what a "problem" is, I'll take any study with a huge grain of salt.

Well this only applies to a specific model year, so having previous models doesn't necessarily count, I was shocked to see Mercedes' huge improvement because of my own W203 having numerous problems, but I know many friends with 203 who haven't had any problems, out of the ordinary at least... So i'll accept this ranking :)

Shocking to see mini all the way at the bottom, They've been making these cars for a while and so many of them already, You'd think they'd have worked out the kinks!

At least the top 5 weren't a surprise

Nice to see Ford and chevy being above average

!SG 06-24-2009 09:24 AM

Timpo 06-24-2009 09:36 AM

Pls show me where IQS measures complaints about poor gas mileage as a factor.

I thought the major complaint with Hummers was with dicks not growing the rumored 3 inches upon purchase?

May I ask what kind of problems are they? My friend had the same thing and another friend with the IS350 and non of them had a single problem on them :)

skyxx 06-24-2009 02:23 PM

Volkswagen should be at the bottom 10 cause I'm having a ton of stupid problems but I love to drive them....sigh

!LittleDragon 06-24-2009 02:29 PM

Yeah, what do they consider a problem to be? I mean, Mazda is below average but many Mazdas are just reskinned Fords and Ford is just a point below Toyota.

I've had a family member do this for the '08 survey and, yes, fuel consumption is one of the questions.
