5-Year Maintenance & Repair Cost
MEASURED SPEC · $Projected 5-year maintenance + repair cost (industry estimates, e.g. Edmunds/CarEdge class data); lower is better. Shown for reference — it feeds the Effective 5-Year Ownership Cost below rather than being scored on its own.
5.1 Financial Ownership Cost · weight 0 within its category · inverted (lower is better)
Every scored vehicle, compared
One row per model at its newest scored year, best first.
Raw measurements are directly comparable across the whole list. The score is not — it's normalized within each body type, so a truck's 78 and a sedan's 78 mean “good for a truck” and “good for a sedan”.
Distribution
Where the field clusters, and who the outliers are. Hover any dot.
Over time
How this criterion moved year over year. 113 models have two or more scored years.
Normalization bands
The $ range that maps to 0–100 in each class — inverted, so lower is better.
