Where it stands out against its peers
- Fuel/propulsion system: more complaints than 97% of 2012 cars — 34% of its 38 complaints, where an ordinary 2012 car has 7%.
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.
