2015 Subaru WRX vs 2016 Subaru WRX
Two adjacent model years of the Subaru WRX, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalised by how many were sold.
Side by side: identical recall campaigns (3 each), and 2016 WRX has fewer recorded owner complaints (34 vs 52). Neither has NHTSA crash ratings, and both have EPA fuel-economy data.

How to read this
- A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
- Complaint totals are not normalised by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
- Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
