JD Power's 2005 Car Survey


Lexus ISPosted by Hello
In J D Power's survey of 2005 cars, for the fifth year in a row, Lexus has
taken the top spot, the GOLD AWARD. Toyota’s luxury brand has retained
its title thanks to impressive reliability – hardly anything ever goes wrong
mechanically – and top-quality materials in the cabins.
Snapping at Lexus’s heels is Skoda (SILVER)– miles apart in terms of
price and prestige, but extremely close when it comes to customer
satisfaction.
Honda has risen from its fifth-place showing last year to take the BRONZE
medal in this year’s survey. Four of its cars are among the top 15 models
overall, with the Jazz in first place for an impressive second year running.
