How do you define quality in a vehicle?

'Fondle my dashes'?

I expect a vehicle to last. I expect it to require maintenance. I expect things which do not require maintnance (such as wiring and bulb sockets, etc) to last a hella long time. I expect a car to be built with serviceability in mind.

When I see an LED taillight costing $300 that loses one LED meaning the whole thing has to be replaced, to me that's poor quality due to crappy serviceability.

I don't really want to clean it more than twice a year. If I can do that with a scrub brush and a hose, that's even better. I don't want to have to buy a special treatment to make the seats last or shampoo the carpet.

I think the last owner of my volvo most have been you. While the carpets were nice.. they obviously had no clue how to take care of leather
