I wonder if Consumer Report weighs the type of issues.
Like if they count both "Engine Blow" and "Leaky Taillight" as just "One Issue".
In other words, would they say a car with 50% chance of engine blowing more reliable than a car with 80% chance of leaky taillight?

I agree that this car is not reliable though.
I had 7 cars before this and had a total of 3 issues.
This car alone had 7 issues already.
