Most and Least Satisfying Models in Their Class
We look at how vehicles satisfied their owners in terms of comfort, driving experience, infotainment, and ownership cost
While a car model might not be among the top 10 (or even top 20) most satisfying in our member survey, it still may excel in certain ways. We asked owners to rate how well their vehicles satisfy them when considering seat and cabin comfort, driving enjoyment, cabin storage, ease of use of the infotainment system, and ownership cost. Use their feedback and the corresponding scores to identify models that are likely to satisfy in the ways that matter most to you. See a full list of vehicles in all categories and their scores on each factor.
How We Rate Satisfaction
The results are from the 2022 Annual Auto Surveys, involving more than 300,000 vehicles. Data from the 2020 to 2022 model years (plus a few 2023 models) were used, provided a vehicle wasn’t significantly changed over that time. Some ratings might be based on a single model year. The owner satisfaction score is based on the percentage of owners who responded “definitely yes” to the question of whether they would buy the same vehicle if they had it to do all over again (considering price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.). Ratings and scores for the factors were determined based on the percentage of owners who said they were very satisfied.
