HOW RESULTS ARE SCORED
Three weighted signals from NHTSA: recall rate (log-scaled, annual), complaint volume (gentle weight — popular cars attract more reports), and severity (deaths, injuries, crashes). Scores are age-normalized so older cars aren't penalized for having more cumulative data.
Combines reliability (55%) with value (45%). Cars with a poor safety record are capped at 55 regardless of value — a cheap unreliable car is never a good buy.
For each model, we check years in your budget window and surface the one with the strongest reliability record.
