Yeah, i'm wondering how these are weighted... If a tiny/flimsy cup holder is valued as much as an A/C that doesn't blow cold...

Excessive fuel consumption means that it consumes significantly more fuel than is expected for the mpg rating of the vehicle

Excessive fuel consumption is actually pretty important, I mean within 10-20% of the rating is acceptable, but I notice that, especially in larger SUVs, the rating is pretty tough to get close to in vancouver.

^ the ratings are based on normal driving. In Vancouver, you have to SLAM on your brakes to avoid an accident OR you have to accelerate quickly or else you'll block traffic

It really depends on how you define "quality". Like I said, many of these things will not be considered a quality issue for most of us, so that score doesnt really mean much.
