Where it stands out against its peers
- Vehicle speed control: more complaints than 94% of 2020 cars — 12% of its 123 complaints, where an ordinary 2020 car has 4%.
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.
