One of the words which nowadays are quite popular between car review articles, is the word "Quality". They are always talking about they don't like a particular car because of bad build quality or being cheap. But how they recognize that a car has cheap build or bad quality?
There are some general and particular methods which i usually use to determine build quality of car. More of these factors in a car shows the better quality. I will explain them section by section:
Exterior
Design: Design of a car is not really strong factors in recognizing quality but if it comes with other factors it makes a big difference. Cars with good quality always have great designer or innovative designer which both of them are costly for manufacturer to follow. Designs which following a particular type of lines (sharp lines or curved lines in harmony) or having sophisticated lines on the body just to make it looks better shows manufacturer high attention on what they are doing. Also innovative designs are always risky for manufacturers to follow and those who manufacture these cars paying high attention to details of their products.
Gap: Gap between doors, hood and different parts of body or any place which two parts have to stand next to each other can determine level of technology and sophistication of assembly lines by manufacturer. Gaps who are smaller makes the car looks better. Width of gap in different sections should be equal and this shows that parts on the sides of gap are perfectly balanced.
Hyundai Accent: Gaps are deep and big, compare it with Audi A4 gaps(below).
Note: These photos are just to illustrate different kind of gaps and I don't mean to compare these two cars with each other.
Paint: Shininess of paint is depend on the quality of the paint, polish of surface before applying the paint and method of applying the paint. Target in luxury cars is to make the paint as shiny as possible and it always looks good.
Surface of the body: In most of the cases it can not be recognized without using specific tools. Anyway, amount of bumper and depth on a surface shows bad quality. For bad quality cars you can easily recognize this if you look through the surface (look with one eye and closed to surface of body).
Lights technology: For small cars it's not good expectation but for medium size to large cars LED technology or cornering lights shows better quality in a car.
