Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 8.0% of tests record it — this model is 2.3× that share |
| The 388 models compared | 17 of 388, highest first |
| The model's own record | 25,430 tests · every year of the Outback → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Subaru Outback tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
