The Most Dependable Used Cars
J.D. Power and Associates has recently released the results of
their 2013 US Vehicle Dependability Study, and Lexus has come up on top
for the second year in a row.
The
study surveyed original owners of three-year-old vehicles to
find out what kinds of problems they had over the last 12 months, which
means the 2013 survey looked at 2010 model year cars.
According to the survey, Lexus ranked highest, followed by Porsche,
Lincoln, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz. And the greatest year-over
improvement went to Ram. Below is a look at the top ranked cars by
segment.
