"I suppose then every part of a car has to perform well and be durable to convince me of quality."
Absolutely, GB - I've been reading through this thread hoping someone would manage to sum it up. It needs to be the parts you can't see as well as those you can.
I remember looking inside the boot of the Jaguar X-type when it was newly-announced. The boot carpet would have disgraced a Ford Ka, and underneath it (where I wasn't supposed to look) there were all manner of poorly-finished welds and rough edges.
True quality - in any product - is more then skin-deep. It has to come from the inside out - inbuilt in fact.
