I have no idea what the problem was with Ecosport, but Ford does just fine here. Subaru, on the other hand was among the ten most problematic cars in the latest J.D. Power survey. Audi and Infiniti made the bottom ten as well. Paul via phone > On Jul 16, 2017, at 11:35 AM, John

OT -Unexptected Good News from Subaru

Hi Mark, I was just thinking about you and your Subaru CVT a few time in the past week. (We are looking for a car right now.) I am glad to hear that good news. I'd say that's probably an indicator of Subaru being one of the better manufacturers (behavior-wise). (Even though they should've

Re: OT -Unexptected Good News from Subaru

An additional thought: I suspect those ranking could be skewed for people's expectation for their cars in different price segments. The fact that Acura is way below Honda, and Infiniti is somewhat bellow Nissan probably doesn't tell that the "fancier" sub-brand cars are necessarily worse,

From what I know, all reports from JDP are based on the owner (satisfaction) surveys. That is the in the core of their business model. The difference is in areas/parameters in which the satisfaction is evaluated. With respect to cars, there are these car ratings that JDP produces: 1.

Ecosport is the engine. In the States the car was called the Ford Escape, here the Ford Kuga. Other models with similar engines were affected too. About 23 cars were recalled in the USA, about 5 here. Alan C -Original Message- From: Paul Stenquist Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2017

Yes, I think you have it right. At one time. JDP did only the IQS, but they've grown their business model. I upset them 34 years ago when I wrote an ad for jaguar that claimed they had the biggest improvement of any carmaker. It was true. They went from last to something like fifteenth. After

Rick, I don't have experience with either of the two you mentioned, but I've tried a few others. Of course, it depends on what you expect from the cloud backup. The parameters include: number of devices, storage size/price (or for free), speed, security (encrypted vs. unencrypted), sharing

Nothing strange about that trick, Igor. It is particularly reasonable when shooting from a safari car that may even be in motion. Focus: AF. Zoom: Max tele. You want to zoom in anyway. If the animal comes closer, the car will stop, you will have time to zoom out and recompose. If you get only

I'd be worried about CVT durability, but for me, the main drawback is the driving feel. My 2014 Equinox has an 8-speed automatic, it feels great with a peppy 3- liter four, and has been trouble free. Nothing but oil changed thus far. Paul via phone > On Jul 16, 2017, at 10:48 PM, Mark C
