Which is better for you?

How the score works

Each category is scored 0–100. Relative metrics (price, mpg, cargo, horsepower, warranty…) give 100 to the best vehicle in the comparison and a proportional share to the others; absolute metrics (NHTSA stars, Safety Signal) use their own scale. A metric that is missing for any vehicle is dropped for all of them, so nobody wins on a blank. The overall score is the weighted mean of the categories using your weights. Open park-outside or do-not-drive advisories cost 25 safety points. When you pick a model without choosing a trim, its base trim (lowest MSRP) stands in wherever the manufacturer's press kit is on file, so base compares with base; pick any trim to change that. Vehicles without a press kit are compared on EPA and NHTSA data only.
