Row Often DoYou See A Car Company Bragging About Being 13elowAyerage? c/ N When J.D. Power and Associates recently evaluated vehicle dependability, they looked at reported problems among vehicles at five years of ownership. And, after calculating the results, they found that not only did Lexus owners report far fewer probleMs than average, they reported fewer than owners of any'ofller nameplate. A fact that led them to rank Lexus as the number one overall nameplate in vehicle dependability. For an impressive third year in a row. Which, interestingly enough, just happens to be the third year that we've been eligible. Now, that fact alone is rather amazing. But it's even more impressive when you consider the thoroughness of the survey. The researchers who compiled these results asked owners about everything from the brakes, the body and the engine to temperature control, water leaks and wind noise. In addition, paint and moldings, steering and handling, electrical and accessories were all examined in depth. In all, owners were asked about 89 separate areas. At the end of this exhaustive study, the researchers at J.D. Power and Associates discovered that even after a full five years of ownership, a Lexus still looks and feels much the same as it did on the very first day. Nowhere near average. YourLexus Dealer.
