Also this should be interesting again: The (not surprising) results of the “CAR CHECK 2003” customer satisfaction survey! -absolute winner: Lexus IS 200 (229.5 points) -absolute loser: MB V-Class (22.9 points….!!!!!) (NO write error!) By the way, the rankings, especially for Mercedes and VW models, are almost exactly the same as the results of the JD POWER studies! -MB A-Class in the compact third-last rank (86.2 points) , average value 105,3 points -MB M-Class in the off-road vehicles second to last rank (80.9 pt.), average value 105.1 pt. -MB V-Class in the vans last rank (22.9 pt.), average value 94.3 pt. e.g. middle class: MB C-Class (120.7 pt.) , average value 126.1 pt. 1. Lexus IS 200 (229.5 pt.!) 2. Mazda 6 (195.9 pt.) 3. Honda Accord (180.9 pt.) 4. Toyota Avensis (157.3 pt.) 5. BMW 3er Compact (153, 3 pt.) 6. Subaru Legacy (149.4 pt.) 7. Mazda 626 (145.2 pt.) 8.

Mercedes (10./ -7) …. 20. Ford (27./ +7) …. 26. VW (23./ -3) 27. Opel (30./ +3) …. 32. Smart (24./ -8) Here you can already see, for example, that Opel is on the way to improvement, while at VW it looks the other way around (which also corresponds to reality!)….Ford is a noticeable piece in terms of customer satisfaction overall ahead of the two, a trend that also corresponds to reality. Mercedes crashes 7 places… which, of course, is the qu. Alitatively catastrophic A-,M, and V-models have to owe… also this reflects exactly the real mood image of the owners of these models. All in a somewhat surprising overall result, if you look at the development of the last years…
