Cars you should buy … cars you shouldn’t
July 14th, 2005
The J.D. Power three year reliability study is complete for models released in 2002. Not surprising, Lexus tops the list for the eleventh consecutive year (which is why I drive one).
Surprises come from Lincoln and Buick earning third and fourth. Mercedes-Benz is frighteningly low. Other surprises come from Volkswagon and Audi waaaaay down on the list. Under no circumstances even consider Mini, Land Rover or Kia.
The 2002 Lexus LS430 gets the best score for any single model ever, only 90 problems per 100 vehicles, the first car ever to score below 100.
