Runners-up (four stars) included Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda and Volvo but parent Ford was mid-pack with three.


Fiat rated two stars but only two owners submitted responses to the survey of 18,187 car owners quizzed about service initiation, service advisor, dealer facility, vehicle pick-up and service quality.
