Which is better for you?

Any two or three vehicles, any make. Where the manufacturer's press kit is on file you compare trim vs trim on seven categories; where it is not, the comparison is safety only — fuel economy and the NHTSA record — and the page says so on every row.

Full specsmanufacturer press kit on file: trims, specs, MSRP Safety onlyEPA and NHTSA record; specs not available Every model year is marked one or the other in the picker, so you know before you choose whether two spec sheets can be compared.

Two cars can look the same on the lot. Their records rarely do.

Recalls, complaints, crash ratings and the manufacturer’s own spec sheet — side by side, with the weights yours.

NHTSA 5-star crash ratings: what the stars measure and how to compare them

What NHTSA's frontal, side and rollover tests actually do, how the overall score is built, why frontal stars only compare within 250 pounds, and what the driver-assistance checkmarks mean.

How the score works

the same arithmetic on every page
1 · Pick

Two or three vehicles

Any make and model year. Where the manufacturer’s press kit is on file, pick the trim too.

2 · Weigh

Say what matters

Seven categories, each scored 0–100; the sliders set how much each one counts.

3 · Read

The verdict, and why

The weighted mean decides: a clear win is 6+ points, an edge 2–6, a toss-up under 2.

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. A vehicle marked safety only has no manufacturer spec sheet on file, so price, space, performance, equipment and warranty are not compared for that pair — the scorecard prints Specs not available on those rows rather than a number, and the weights for them are set aside.
