>>>A combination of function and durability. The ability to perform well and for as long as possible.
I think Stu's definition needs something on top to make a true quality car... something Rattle leans towards when he says..
>>>On a 20k car not only must it be strong but all the materials need to be exotic to touch.
The Japanese, and now Korean, makers have been very good at meeting Stu's expectations while making cars with very cheap interiors and doors that shut with a clang. For my view this prevents them being true quality cars.
These tactile qualities I value may just be the icing on an already quality cake but are still very important.
