Just read that JD Power's report on vehicle quality for 2015 models ranks Jaguar #3 after Porsche #1 and Kia #2.

It appears that the Japanese are sweating because European and American brands are improving at a fast pace. Overall, there are some very reliable cars being made today.

#4 was Hyundai and #5 was Infiniti.

 

Initial quality is good. But reliability for 2013 or 2012 models is of more interest. Once the cars have 40 - 50,000 miles and a few years real quality can be better judged.

 

I agree with Panelhead.

J.D. Powers rankings are partly based on initial satisfaction, and who doesn't like a new car? Especially with a warranty!

Still, a favorable reliability rating is to be cheered. Jaguar as a brand has been maligned for years. Just my $0.02 worth,

 

My car has nearly 120k mi and only needs $300-500/year maintenance (oil change, tire rotation, etc.) The cruise control works on and off but I can live with it... it's British after all.

MPG has been good... 30-31 highway (on cruise), 20-22 city.
