"J.D. Power has released the results of its latest Initial Quality Study (IQS), the company's industry benchmark study that measures new-vehicle quality after the first 90 days of ownership. A key finding of this year's study is that nearly two-thirds of the problems experienced in the first 90 days of ownership are related to the vehicle's design, as opposed to components that malfunction. For example, the component may be working as designed, but owners deem it a problem because it may be difficult to understand or operate"

See? The way they measure quality has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. If you were dead set on a JD Power study, you should have referenced this- Top Rated Cars, SUVs & Trucks - Car Reliability Ratings - 2013 Vehicle Dependability Study

Oh, except there is only one Euro car on the list.

I could care less how many Euro's are on the list. If it was zero Id still have my GTi or any other EURO car Ive owned. Im happy the Z was on the link I sent out. I will sleep better now......really.

And I hate to be pedantic, but if you "could care less" it means you care. You were looking for "couldNT care less".

Bitchy? No, that would be you and your mis-guided notion of what a loaner car must mean. I was happy to enlighten you.



As I stated many posts before, name a maker without issues.



Had I listened to a keyboard test driver like you I would not have purchased a number of cars Ive owned and enjoyed.
