Honda Civic Si

Where it stands out against its peers

• Steering: more complaints than 99% of 2022 cars — 83% of its 1,838 complaints, where an ordinary 2022 car has 8%.

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.
