The 2013 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study is out, and Porsche leads the way with a mere 80 problems per 100 vehicles over the first 90 days of ownership. At the other end of the spectrum, Fiat (154) and Scion (161) fare the worst.
The industry average is 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Overall, nearly two-thirds of the problems experienced in the first three months of ownership are related to the vehicle's design, as opposed to components that malfunction. The study also finds that many problems cited by owners relate to the driver interface, which includes voice recognition or hands-free technology.
