Overall Owner Satisfaction

Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey can improve the chances of finding a compatible car match. How? Our survey data reveals whether, all things considered, owners would buy the same car again. The answer to that question is what determines our owner-satisfaction rating, which is a powerful piece of intel because it predicts how well a particular model will satisfy other owners.

"acceleration"

Robert S., MN (2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class)

"Tires are run flat, in the Northeast is a very serious problem. We drive a $120,000 automobile can’t take any distance, if I have a flat I would be stranded for days. for what, save the manufacturer the cost of a spare. Had several blow outs, pot holes, and always waited at least three days for a replacement,.if possible we will never again buy a car with run flat tires ."

Anonymous, SC (2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class)

"Handling is excellent. Electronics that help keep car in lane, notify when distracted are excellent, however the blind spot detector stays on too long after making a lane change and beeps if there is a car in the lane next to you which is distractor."

Percentage of owners who would definitely purchase that same vehicle again. Owner-satisfaction Ratings are determined by the percentage of those who answered "definitely yes" to the question asked by the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey "Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had to do it all over again?". If we don’t have sufficient data, a similar model might be used to form the owner-satisfaction score.
