Does JD have a caregory for the biggest driver grin size during and after ownership?

boolala

No. But I understand there is going to be a "***** size" category next time in order to lower Porsche's scores...

Consumer Reports needs to look at JD Power! ;-)

Good news indeed...but I'm still waiting for Porsche's long term JD Power #'s.

The bigger news by far is that:

Are you going to Champion or Braman?

I believe Porsche was quite a ways down the list in last year's long-term survey and I expect they will be this year as well.

I also believe that one of the reasons Porsche scores so high on the IQS is because most Porsche owners don't drive their cars much, and it takes more than 90 days to find out that there's an issue with the car. By contrast, a Ford owner probably racks up the miles quickly after taking delivery, and thus the issues tend to surface more quickly, lowering their IQS score. This might explain why Porsche scores so high initially, but so low in the long-term survey. I imagine Consumer Reports bases their opinion based on long-term surveys and not so much on initial quality.

I'll believe Porsche builds the best initial quality vehicles (As a Manufacturer) as soon as someone can tell me what the 2007 year score was for the Cayenne?

Anyone?

Champion . is Braman any better ?

I recently spoke to the collection about exhaust...i wont be going there.You can never seem to reach a human being.Champion prices are ridiculous and once again no one will answer the phone.Leave a message and no call back.I wonder how braman is as far as customer service?Any experiences?

In August of 2006 I bought a 2001 996 with 9,400 miles on it. Here I am less than a year later and I now have 21,000 miles on it. I drive it every day. All I have done is replace the mass air sensor (15k miles) and one of the seat belt receptacles. I've also changed the oil every 5,000 miles. Aside from that, everything is perfect. No noises, no loss in performance, no loose stuff, no paint issues. Nothing. So, am I surprised that Porsche receives high qulaity ratings? When I consider the fact that while my car has relatively low mileage but is closing in on being 7 years old, I'm not at all surprised.
