Having priced warranty insurance products in the past, the relative cost of repairs standardised by new vehicle value at the time of sale, JD power ranks were not bad proxies but bit and miss for their mid-field. Toyota being below average in reliability? Not in warranty claims it isn’t. Porsche usually does well on JD power but their actual warranty bills (again, standardised for their price) are very high. JD is mostly based oN subjective impressions and electrical niggles in the first 90 days of ownership (niggles including difficulty of operation not necessarily failures). If they have changed the method since I last checked my apologies for spouting nonsense
