The 1994 Lancia Delta demonstrates a significantly lower overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with only 66 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 78% better than the yearly average of 304. It shows particularly strong performance in several categories, including brakes and visibility, where it experiences far fewer defects than average. Notably, there are high defect rates in the higher mileage brackets, especially over 124,000 miles, suggesting potential issues with older models; however, the Delta still fares well overall in comparison to its peers. This model exhibits a remarkable resilience against common issues, standing out positively across multiple categories.
