Sektörün diğer sektörlerle bağlantısını gösteren bu durum; otomotiv sektörünün, bulunmuş olduğu ülkenin ekonomisi üzerinde büyük bir etkiye sahip olmasına neden olmaktadır.Otomotiv endüstrisi, toplum ve çevre üzerinde derin bir etkiye sahiptir ve günümüz küresel dünyasında birçok sektörde olduğu gibi otomotiv sektöründe de önemli bir rekabet ortamı bulunmaktadır. Firmalar arasında yaşanan bu rekabet müşteri tatmini ve sadakati konusunu daha önemli bir hale getirmiştir. Müşteri tatminini sağlamak için yapılması gerekenlerin belirlenmesi, firmalara yol gösterici olmakta, müşteri odaklılığın da önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmada otomotiv sektörü özelinde müşteri tatminini sağlayan faktörler belirlenmiş ve bunlar üzerine bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Makalenin amacı; otomobil kullanıcılarının tatmini etkileyen unsurların ortaya konularak bunları nasıl geliştirilebileceğini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla 412 otomobil kullanıcısı üzerine bir anket yapılmıştır. Anket çalışması ile toplanan verilerin analizinde korelasyon katsayıları, t-testleri ve varyans analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucuna göre otomobil kullanıcılarının tatmin düzeylerini belirleyen unsurlar olan yapısal kalite, dayanıklılık, maliyetler, sürüş kalitesi ve konfor ile tatmin düzeyi arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
