Porsche is the top performer in an annual survey of new vehicle quality.
J.D. Power questioned more than 83,000 U.S. car owners about problems with their 2013 vehicles in the first 90 days of ownership.
In the results released Wednesday, Porsche, GMC, Lexus, Infiniti and Chevrolet owners reported the fewest problems. The worst performing brands were Scion, Fiat, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Mini.
The top complaints this year involved voice recognition systems that didn't understand commands and Bluetooth systems that didn't connect to drivers' phones. Wind noise was also a big complaint.
Honda had the top-performing small car and small SUV, with the Honda Civic and Honda CR-V. The highest-ranking midsize car was the Toyota Camry.
Chevrolet had the best pickups, with the Avalanche and Silverado.

Thanks. It's interesting to see where the other German (VW, BMW, Benz) companies are ranked.....

How can Toyota be #7 and Scion be # 33. I am dubious as to the validity of the data and sample size.

J D changed the criteria, It's now reported design flaws not actual mechanical problems. So it's someone's opinion of what they think is a design flaw? based on what? They can't figure out how to work the new tech? Even before the change, how would you know a new cars durability until it's a few years old with some miles on it?
