the Ford Ka (new model) with Vauxhall coming last overall in the manufacturers.

Unsurprising top slots, German and Jap seem to be the cars to buy..

Quoting: JD Power

However, this disappointing result relates to the new Ka, launched in 2008. It's the first time the car has appeared in the survey, which was completed by 16,840 owners. The majority of complaints related to poor build quality.

But Ford was spared the overall worst manufacturer result, which went to Vauxhall. The company has never fared well in JD Power surveys, but this is the first time it has sunk to the bottom of the pile, with every one of its models scoring below the industry average. Poor dealer service was cited, too.

Worth noting this is 2008 model year, so the new astray won't be in there. The new astray does seem a huge advance over the old one.
