YouTube rank: how positive owners and reviewers sound, compared with every car of the same model year. It measures tone, not failure rates. Videos belong to their creators; we link to them.
Looking at a 2021 or newer? Those are too new for a full complaint score (any score shown is partial, in gray), but YouTube owners like the 2025 best.

YouTube rank: we read 593 YouTube videos about the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 2006 to 2025, and ranked every year by how much they praise it vs. how much they talk about problems. YouTube's favorite: 2020. Old cars rank lower partly because most of their videos are repair and restoration videos. A gray dot means not enough data yet: under 10 videos, or a new year with no owner complaints to compare.

The Lemon Index counts owner complaints filed with the U.S. government (NHTSA) in a car's first 3 years, per car sold, against the average car of the same model years (100 = average, lower is better). It measures complaints, not crash safety. U.S. sales source: goodcarbadcar.net. How it works
