Volvo S60 Cross Country

Where it stands out against its peers

• Seat belts: more complaints than 97% of 2016 cars — 11% of its 79 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 2%.
• Visibility/wiper: more complaints than 94% of 2016 cars — 11% of its 79 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 3%.
• Structure: more complaints than 90% of 2016 cars — 11% of its 79 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 6%.
• Wheels: more complaints than 94% of 2016 cars — 8% of its 79 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 3%.

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.

Crash test
