Nissan Titan Wins AutoPacific 2005 Large Light-Duty Pickup Vehicle Satisfaction Award
Owners of the 2005 Nissan Titan rate the pickup not only at the top of its Large Light-Duty Pickup category, but also as the top rated vehicle overall. This is an outstanding accomplishment and testament to the satisfaction Titan is giving its owners.
Titan’s achievement is truly remarkable and demonstrates the inherent differences in AutoPacific’s way of measuring satisfaction compared with others. Titan is immensely satisfying, but owner surveys conducted by others show Titan has a fair share of niggling problems. But, if you are not counting things gone wrong and looking at what really matters – how well buyers are satisfied – Titan shines. Its big, powerful V8 engine combined with outstanding styling and features provide the top-satisfying product package for 2005.
“We cannot ignore that two large trucks produced at Nissan’s Canton Mississippi assembly plant won top place in their categories for 2005 – Nissan Titan and Nissan Armada. Nissan’s third large truck – the luxury Infiniti QX56 also rated very well. This is a sweep any company can be envious of.
AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are given to top rated vehicles for satisfaction in their vehicle category based on owner responses to an annual national mail survey.

Jaguar XJ Wins AutoPacific 2005 Luxury Car Vehicle Satisfaction Award
Owners of the Jaguar XJ rate the XJ highest in the Luxury Car category. The rating for XJ comes from especially strong results for exterior and interior styling, image, fun-to-drive and ease of use. XJ’s traditional and sensuous Jaguar styling resonate with its buyers and its dynamic qualities reinforce its outstanding looks.
In a close race to the finish with the 2005 Lexus LS430, the Jaguar XJ nosed ahead because of the more subjective ratings given by its owners. Styling, image, fun to drive were all rated higher than the LS430. German luxury cars, interestingly, were rated substantially lower by their owners primarily because of ease of use and niggling reliability problems that took their vehicles to the dealer service department more often.
AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are given for category wins based on owner responses to an annual national mail survey.
