Audi is once again the No.1 brand ranked in Germany’s half-yearly AutoMarxX survey by the well-known motoring organisation ADAC, published in June 2009. The Ingolstadt-based automaker leads the way ahead of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Volkswagen in the Top-5 list.
AutoMarxX is the most comprehensive study of its kind in Germany, analysing the performance of more than 30 key car brands in areas such as brand image, sales performance, customer satisfaction, vehicle quality, technology and innovation.
Vehicle quality is an important part of the regular AutoMarxX survey. The figures covered in this section of the report are based, among other things, on the current statistics provided by the ADAC’s emergency breakdown service.
