Where it stands out against its peers
- Fuel/propulsion system: more complaints than 93% of 2015 cars — 18% of its 194 complaints, where an ordinary 2015 car has 7%.
- Equipment: more complaints than 95% of 2015 cars — 3% of its 194 complaints, where an ordinary 2015 car has 0%.
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.
