Expected reliability is the single most important factor in deciding on a car, according to J.D. Power. Whether you want a vehicle for off-roading, track days, or everyday commuting, you definitely don’t want one that will cost you a lot of extra money, time, or frustration in repairs. J.D. Power’s annual Vehicle Dependability Study, now in its 27th year, polls owners of 3-year-old cars to determine the number of problems they experienced during the previous 12 months. The company then ranks each maker and model by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles.

Here’s a little scenario for your Thursday morning:

You have decided you’d like to consider the purchase of a Cadillac ATS. You like it because it’s built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Camaro and you’d like to experience the car first-hand before making your final decision.

You’ve had your heart set on an Audi A4 or potentially a BMW 3 Series, but you’ve read some great reviews of the Caddy and want to give it a shot.

It’s been a long time since you’ve driven a Cadillac and you’re excited to see how far the brand’s cars have progressed since the days of your grandfather’s Seville.

You head to your local dealer after doing hours of online research only of find…

A touchscreen where you can do more online research, but no cars to test drive.

Believe or not, that’s a real plan proposed by Cadillac.
