My MIL Drives a Corolla
Never been in the shop, whereas my A4 lands there quarterly. The Infiniti-provided loaner program is a godsend when your car has its own zipcode apart from its owner.

The only reason that Jaguar-err-Ford ranked below the average is because of the XJ and maybe XK
The S Type and especially the X Type are much bigger POS' than any Audi. The Saab owners are either denying and ignoring the problems with their cars or just are too chicken **** to report them. As for BMW, the outgoing E39 5 Series, which has been extremely popular as of late, is the only reason they did so well. Other current or new BMW models are either just as trouble prone, marginally less trouble prone or marginally more trouble prone than any Audi.

That's the price we pay for driving interesting cars
People who judge the "value" of their car based on lack of service visits should only drive Japanese, that's hardly a secret.
Also check out this month's AUTOMOBILE mag for a long-term test of a Jag that pulls no punches (and makes up for the Jag advertorial supplement they sent out a few months ago)
