Audi needs to pick it up. Barely above industry average.

Interesting when compared with these items:


https://www.consumerreports.org/car-...-satisfaction/

Audi #5 in owner satisfaction (MB #22; BMW #15)


https://www.consumerreports.org/car-...they-stack-up/

Overall reliability, Audi ranked #4 (BMW #5; MB #14)

I think J.D. Powers is the most suspect when it comes to their rankings. A for-profit business that makes money on selling data and services to car makers and other industries. Just how good is that separation between research and sales?

That is their business model -- no separation.

Speaking of which, I just got their survey for my recently purchased car in the mail today. I'll try my best to enjoy the $1 they include in the survey.
