Chevrolet Cruze Limited

Where it stands out against its peers

• Electronic stability control (esc): more complaints than 96% of 2016 cars — 7% of its 240 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 2%.

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.
