#1 J.D. Power, huh?

I remember in the early '90s we bought a Buick partly because J.D. Power reported it had the fewest problems after the first 90 days, or something like that. The Buick LeSabre was number one in owner satisfaction, they said.

I remember my Dad telling me, "You don't know J.D. Power from Adam."

That Buick was a lemon.

Drive the car before you buy it. If it feels good, if you like it and you can afford it then buy it.

For the record, I didn't particularly care for that car when we test drove it. It was too heavy and clunky. But Mrs. Uluque liked it.

#2 I looked at that list. Those cars , for the most part , fail the cost of ownership stats. A luxury car may be reliable but when it does fail the parts are way expensive and often require special tool to repair. You may be better off with a Toyota Corolla .
