Quick summary

Total: 163 cars

The 2018 Nissan GT-R has a significantly lower overall defect rate of 41 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 120 defects, marking an impressive performance that is 66% better than the average. Notably, the model excels in categories such as brakes, visibility, and lights, with virtually no defects reported in lights and electrics, and a dramatic reduction in brake-related issues. However, it does face challenges with steering, having a higher defect rate than the average for that category. Mileage-related data indicates that defects are more prevalent in the lower mileage segments, which is consistent with typical trends for performance vehicles. Overall, the GT-R demonstrates strong reliability, particularly in critical safety areas.
