Alfa Romeo Giulia (952)

Where it stands out against its peers

• Fuel/propulsion system: more complaints than 98% of 2018 cars — 36% of its 85 complaints, where an ordinary 2018 car has 8%.
• Gasoline: more complaints than 93% of 2018 cars — 11% of its 85 complaints, where an ordinary 2018 car has 2%.
• Fuel system: more complaints than 91% of 2018 cars — 11% of its 85 complaints, where an ordinary 2018 car has 3%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
