(Although I think their definition of older is a little confusing)

The other factor in their conclusion is they have looked at repair costs as well as fault rate. if you look at their reported fault rates the LR and BMW SUV's have higher rates. Also not clear whether they are taking repair rates from OPC's or independents which those owners out of warranty would typically be using. Also, no comment on how many Macan owners extend the warranty at what they consider a reasonable cost to control the risks

Would you guys stop breaking your cars.....you are giving us a bad reputation
More seriously, I do wonder if the average Porsche owner is more fussy and less tolerant, so runs back to the dealer with the slightest of complaints....most Land Rover owners are quite happy to live with warning lights etc!

Looking at the detail in the article it seems to me that the well known problems with the transfer box and DPF have taken their toll on the overall ratings.
