Believe it or not, I'm not trying to be an apologist here, but after looking at the report there's a couple of things that don't make sense to me.
In the detailed section the only thing that got a black mark was the fuel system. Engine and transmission minor got average ratings. So how does that rate an overall predicted reliability of worse than average? Of the eight detailed ratings five of them were above average, two were average, one was below average. I'm no mathematician but that would seem to average out (no pun intended) to something better than middle of the pack.
Overall the CR rating is 83 out of 100. If I got that on a test or as a performance review at my job I'd be pretty happy actually.
Finally, some of the stuff in the "lows" section does just piss me off. Knocking a small, lightweight sports car for "access", and "token rear seat" is just stupid in my opinion. This vehicle doesn't advertise itself as a family-hauler. Does CR knock SUVs for being slow, lumbering, behemoths that don't handle worth a damn? It seems stupid to knock things down for being what they are.
