Porsche: A Top 10 Reliable Car Brand According to J.D. Power and Associates

At Porsche Riverside, our Porsche dealer in Riverside, we’re thrilled to announce that the Porsche brand has ranked in the top ten most reliable car brands, according to J.D. Power and Associates 2015 Vehicle Dependability Study.

The J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study focuses on long-term reliability by monitoring defects, malfunctions, and design-related issues with three-year old vehicles still being driven by their original owners. Overall dependability is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles; a lower score reflects higher quality. The study covers 177 specific problems grouped into eight major vehicle categories.

“As we’ve seen in our Initial Quality Study, owners view in-vehicle technology issues as significant problems, and they typically don’t go away after the ownership honeymoon period is over. Furthermore, early indications form our upcoming 2015 U.S. Tech Choice Study show that vehicle owner expectations of advanced technology capabilities are growing. Owners clearly want the latest technology in their vehicles, and they don’t hesitate to express their disapproval when it doesn’t work. Their definition of dependability is increasingly influenced by usability,” said Renee Stephens, vice president of U.S. automotive at J.D. Power.

Vehicles That Local Southern California Drivers Can Depend On

 According to the study, Porsche is a champion of sound engineering, receiving a score of just 116 problems per 100 vehicles! Inside today’s Porsche models, Riverside area Porsche shoppers will find the latest in innovation – like the all-new Rear Seat Entertainment system available in Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera models.

“For Porsche this is very significant. It confirms that our cars meet the full spectrum of our customers’ very demanding expectations well into the ownership experience,” said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO, Porsche Cars North America.
