Porsche Cars and Buick Cars top in the recent 2016 U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index made by JD Power. Porsche is still proving their worth after being on the top list for years now. Buick is riding high as it already jumps on the 2016 Consumer reliability survey and now is sitting along with Porsche at the top. Check out the full list here.

Now on its 30th year, JD Power, a firm dedicated to marketing efforts, offers its barometer of the automotive industry from different points of view. Unlike other studies, which focus on aspects such as the reliability of the car, the JD Power 2016 Sales Satisfaction Index US (SSI) published these days does the same focus on the treatment that the customer receives when purchasing a car.

In the Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI), JD Power values each manufacturer working with parameters derived from studies in which customers value aspects as the work of the trade of each dealer, delivery, facilities and mark time dedicated to the buying process, the ability to test the car, the information received, or facilities for the purchase and financing aspects of the vehicle. This study was conducted in the United States.

It is logical to assume that there will be significant differences between a manufacturer of luxury, such as Porsche, and general manufacturers. Hence in this study has been decided to create two different classifications, one for luxury manufacturers and another for mass marketed.

This year And Porsche cars become the brand that best treats its customers for luxury cars and Buick cars for mass market cars. The study polled 28,979 buyers who bought or leased a new car in April or May 2016, according to Cnet.
