Although various Lada models are among the most popular cars, motorists do not consider them the best cars. This is evidenced by the data of a survey conducted by the portal "Drom".
How the rating of the best passenger cars in 2023 was compiled according to Russians
• When ranking cars, ratings received from 2,5 million portal users were taken into account. Each car owner rated their car on a scale from 1 to 10 according to the following parameters:
- exterior,
- salon,
- engine,
- suspension.
• Then, a weighted average rating was calculated using a special formula that took into account both the average rating of the car and the number of ratings given to it, the average rating for all cars in the list, and the minimum number of ratings to participate in the rating.
• The highest score that a car can score is 10 points. All cars in the top 10 scored at least 9,3 points.
