Hi Vic!
You won't be.
While they provide nothing for statistical information on specific models, they probably do have enough data to see basic trends. You can find some interesting things if you dig into the charts and numbers they bury in the print. For example, over the 7 years that is a typical length of new car ownership, the average Ford has roughly 5 issues a CR reader would report in a survey, about the same as Nissan or Hyundai. The average Honda/Toyota owner would have roughly 3 problems reported by a CR subscriber. (I'll even give a margin of error of 1 problem, as the chart was small and integrating in my head is subject to mistakes these days). Granted, these could be minor or major problems, covered under warrantly or very expensive. There's no way to know from CR. Also, you still have the issue of self-sampling and and a non-scientific survey method. See the Chicago Tribune's "Dewey Defeats Truman" case study on why not to use data obtained in this manner...
