Chevrolet Camaro

Where it stands out against its peers

• Electrical system: more complaints than 98% of 2015 cars — 54% of its 206 complaints, where an ordinary 2015 car has 17%.
• Unknown or other: more complaints than 95% of 2015 cars — 25% of its 206 complaints, where an ordinary 2015 car has 14%.

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.
