Buy that 100k warranty Kia. You might have it 6 months out of the year. Mitsu's are right as the bottom. Subie not so good.

On the flip side, Toyota is kicking major arse. I just read their profits jumped 53% last year to $8.1B. The big three could all be owned my them with their cash reserves ight now. I fear my job, yet aplaud the company.

Would your work be any more quality if someone else was president?? I doubt it. This study is more interested in the vehicle than the stock price.
Anyway, I looked at some of the old rankings, and the graph was not at all the same, so it's hard to compare. Toyota did have some top spots for quality, but chevy and Ford did, too.
I like to think I put the 'func' in functioning alcoholic.

I am assuming that the Toyota numbers include Lexus and Honda's numbers include Acura.......
A little surprised to see Nissan(Infinity) on par with Ford.

that's right. I read all this in the Wall Street Journal the other day. Actually, lexus was the best with only 76 complaints per 100. Hummer, which is included with GM in this list, was the worst with their H2 racking up 225 complaints per 100 vehicles. Drop that big one off and GM, as well as the average per 100, goes WAY down.
Another one you don't see on there is the MINI. They were 4th from the worst: now how does BMW quality look???

IMO it doesn't matter what you buy basically. It's hit or miss. The possibility to hit is just a litle higher with Honda's or Toyo's.

So the chart is saying that the best car manufacturer has 115 problems out of each 100 cars built. That is hilarious and ridiculous at the same time. Buy used its cheaper.
