Though it was near the bottom, there were a couple other cars that had to be rated lower (in order to get the make rated lower, the cars would have to be lower).

Kia and Land Rover were between Mini and Hummer.
I wish the JD Power ratings were more objective - the Hummer was hit for poor fuel economy. That's not a quality problem. They need a weighting factor, so that "catastrophic engine failure" is not the same as "won't fit my Uber Gulp soda".
The Mini is allegedly being hit for cupholder design. See this link:
