Land Rover LR4

Where it stands out against its peers

• Fuel system: more complaints than 99% of 2012 cars — 29% of its 48 complaints, where an ordinary 2012 car has 1%.
• Gasoline: more complaints than 99% of 2012 cars — 29% of its 48 complaints, where an ordinary 2012 car has 1%.
• Fuel/propulsion system: more complaints than 95% of 2012 cars — 25% of its 48 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.
