Based on Individual model satisfaction noticeably BMW is missing from the results with the BMW 5 series ranking the highest of their models at position 25 with 80 % and the BMW 3 series in 46th position with 78.9 %. The differences in pole positions of are massive however we have to remember that this means that between 46th position and 1st place there was just 4.1 % with The Skoda Superb topping the pole at 83%.
Could this be a real reflection of the vehicle or perhaps an indication of owners expectations?
