Let’s see, Dodge and Kia and Chevy on top with Honda and Toyota in the bottom half. I am instantly suspicious.

- ajhurliman 6y agoIt looks like they're looking at initial "problems" which are pretty broadly defined. Those can be complete failure to drive, to what they perceive to be a confusing interface with no weighting to them[0]. It also looks at a snapshot in time (when the car is manufactured) rather than the reliability of the car in the future. At first glance it seems like this is a terrible way of evaluating cars, but my suspicious side hypothesizes that this opacity in their evaluation is a feature not a bug which allows them to accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews.
