Title: US survey on car dependability
Post by: Ugly Mongrel on February 16, 2012, 02:51:05

Hyundai fares pretty well in this survey, doing much better than BMW, Jaguar, Volvo (not hard!!), Audi, Subaru and VW.  :happydance: :happydance:

However, we were pipped by Lexus, Porsche, Cadillac and Mercedes Benz :P :P

I thought so too, Dazzler. The survey compares the brands, not individual models. I'd love to see the criteria used in the survey.
