That definitely seems to be more grounded in reality, although, base purely on the rating, I'm not sure why I would buy the #1 car over the #2 car.
The #2 car had a lower reliability rating even though it was off the road less time and the average repair cost was significantly less.
Also, the few cars I spot checked would have still been under warranty. I suppose there is relevance to that, but what I really care about is long-term reliability. What happens between 100K and 200K miles for example?
Basically, I want to see the curve that shows when to expect to replace the car because it becomes problematic. That's reliability to me.
