IQS 2015: Who’s naughty or nice

What owners are saying, and how sales-persons play a role in perceived quality.

Beyond the charts that showed the reported faults of certain makes and models, J.D. Power Asia Pacific’s 2015 Malaysia Initial Quality Study (IQS) also revealed that perceived problems with new cars can be managed through better explanation from salespersons, and for customers to actually take a test drive before buying a car (because 41% of us don’t!).
