| 2007 S-class scores mixed in JD Power survey: Great appeal but quality issues remain You will not read about this yet in the media but the results are in for the first batch of 2007 S class cars in terms of initial quality. Overall figures are a little below average, but not a complete disaster, unlike the previous generation. The url is: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER This is a Flash based page, so can't copy and paste, but here are the numbers: Criteria Rating (out of 5 stars) ------- --------------------- Overall Quality - Manufacturing 3 stars Mechanical Quality - Manufacturing 3 stars Body & Interior Quality - Manufacturing 4 stars Feature & Accessory Quality - Manufacturing 2.5 stars Overall Quality - Design 3 stars Mechanical Quality - Design 4.5 stars Body & Interior Quality - Design 2.5 stars Feature & Accessory Quality - Design 2.5 stars Overall Appeal 4.5 stars Performance 4.5 stars Style 4.5 stars Features & Instrument Panel 4.5 stars Comfort 5 stars Still niggling bugs but overall owners like their cars and could not be happier with comfort levels. |

| Re: 2007 S-class scores only average in JD Power survey OK, no hate mail but any idea where they got those ratings from? As in customer survey/independent testing or what? I test drove an S500 with medium options and the quality was just superior to BMW, Audi etc. My cousin has a fully loaded 750Li and he too agreed that comfort/quality levels were better in the S. Maybe because they must've tested the lower end leather or cloth? |

| Re: 2007 S-class scores only average in JD Power survey In these 5 areas: Overall Quality - Manufacturing 3 stars Mechanical Quality - Manufacturing 3 stars Feature & Accessory Quality - Manufacturing 2.5 stars Body & Interior Quality - Design 2.5 stars Feature & Accessory Quality - Design 2.5 stars I just don't see what how people could rate this car so low. It doesn't make sense. If MB can't change their standing within the world of JDP with the new S-Class they don't stand a chance of ever getting to the top in these surveys. M |
