Everyone Likes the A3’s Seats

The world of automobiles is beset by terrible seating. Rock hard sports seats that provide much in the way of support, but little in the way of comfort. Audi’s here to help, though.

According to a new survey from JD Power, an automotive quality researching firm, the Audi A3 has the fewest seating-related complaints per customer of any car on the market.

Just what does that amount to per 100 owners? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. According to JD Power’s research, not a single Audi A3 owner has any complaints emanating from their rear end. Or none that Audi’s fault, anyway.

Not far behind was another VW group stalwart, the Porsche Cayenne (in the luxury SUV Segment), that had just 0.8 reported problems per 100 vehicles, while the BMW X4 followed in third place overall with just 2 complaints per 100 vehicles.

Despite their familial relationships, the seats in the two VW group cars don’t actually come from the same source. The Cayenne’s are made by Adient, while the A3’s are made by Magna. The latter did well in more than just the A3, too, coming in first place in the Mass Market Compact SUV and the Mass Market Midsize/Large SUV segments (Ford Escape and the Ford Edge).

To find these conclusions, JD Power surveyed more than 77,000 purchasers and lessees of new cars and asked them about problems through the first 90 days of ownership.

So if you’re looking for a problem-free place to park your keister, look no further than the A3.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
