2010 VW GTI - White One!

"Initial Quality" is such a bullshit metric, who gives a fuck?

It's the number of issues in the first year of ownership. What's invalid about that?

The problem is that it's not just studying mechanical defects - it also looks at design defects which are subjective per the driver. Someone who can't figure out how to use Fords sync system is ranked in the same bucket as a major transmission or engine failure.
