J.D. Power's APEAL (Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) survey asks recent new car buyers about a host of specific vehicle attributes - comfort, handling, engine power, etc. - and ranks cars according to their aggregate scores.
This year, the top-scoring car of all, beating out a Lexus and a BMW, was the Mercedes-Benz S-class sedan with a starting price of about $90,000. Among its many very satisfying features are front and back heated seats with adjustable massage, super-intelligent cruise control that just about drives for you and a sun-roof that reaches from the windshield to the back window.
Add to that prodigious power in even the base-level car, a buttery ride, lusciously communicative steering and an interior that would put the most expensive hotels to shame.
If this doesn't satisfy you, nothing will.
