J.D. Power Ranked Ford Mustang as Most Dependable Midsize Sporty Car for 2020
Bought a lemon recently?
That was bad luck because new vehicles, on the whole, are more dependable than ever.
That's according to J.D. Power's 2020 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, which was released Wednesday. The closely-tracked index has found that 2020 is the best year ever for vehicle performance.
The bottom line: Your new vehicle should hold up well. Really well. Either that or something went terribly awry.
The study, which automakers often trumpet to market their vehicles, tracks the number of problems in three-year-old vehicles during the previous 12 months. Per 100 vehicles, the average was 134.
“Despite the increased adoption of complex vehicle technology, dependability continues to improve,” Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power, said in a statement. “There’s no question that three-year-old vehicles today are better built and more dependable than same-age vehicles were in previous years."
Most dependable model per segment:
Midsize sporty car: Ford Mustang
