A model's Reliability Percentrank is a ranking of that model's Reliability Score relative to all other Reliability Scores for the given model year and age range. The percentrank was computed using the Percentrank function of Microsoft's Excel 2002 and, as the first part of the compound word percentrank suggests, is a value between 0.00 and 1.00. If a model's Reliability Percentrank is near 0.00, it has a very low Reliability Score, and if a Percentrank is near 1.00, it has a high Reliability Score.

Benchmarks: Site manager's conjecture is that if a person cares little about what he or she drives, he or she still likely would not want to drive anything worse, or easily noticeably worse, than a typical Chevrolet. This is why Chevrolet Reliability Percentrank medians are used to benchmark the bottom. At the other end, site manager's conjecture is that if a person has an eye for quality, he or she likely would not want to own a vehicle that is much, if any, less than a typical Honda. This is why Honda line Reliability Percentrank medians are used to benchmark the top.

Advisories:

1.   This site gives a Reliability Percentrank of .6 or below a Reliability Grade of F, per the high standards, and a Reliability Percentrank of .76 or below a Reliability Grade of F, per the exacting standards. To view the table giving the Reliability Grades - High Standards for the Eagle line, click here.

2.   Nothing on this web page should be viewed as suggesting that site manager considers a model-year with a Reliability Percentrank below .9, or a model with a 5-year or 10-year Reliability Percentrank average below .9, to be acceptable for purchase or lease.
