Americans have chosen the most comfortable car seats

American agency J.D. Power and Associates ranked the most convenient and reliable car seats. First place in this parameter took compact MPV Ford C-Max.  




The study was conducted from February to May 2014. The agency surveyed 86,000 owners of new cars. Respondents were asked to answer the question of whether they experienced any discomfort with seating in the first 90 days of ownership machine. Evaluated not only the design of chairs, but also quality. Based on these results, the findings "coefficient problem" - the average number of breakdowns, claims for design and convenience for a hundred machines. 

Most complaints the agency received on uncomfortable, according to the Americans, adjusting levers. And more often complained about those who have a car with mechanical rather than electrical actuators. 

It was also revealed that the average number of substandard or inconvenient access decreased compared with 2013 year by 0.4 points and reached a figure of 8.7 defects per hundred vehicles. 

In addition, the researchers found that 54 percent of those who ordered the car with a third row of seats, use it at least once a month. And 41 percent of those car owners admitted that they raise additional seats at least once a week.
