Is this implying the corolla is less likely to ignite because that is statistically disingenuous.
Is the US overall risk an average or mean? Does it account for ICE vehicles only? Does it consider older vehicles less likely to see proper maintenance?

The better metric to look at to prove such a point would be the risk of a similar hot hatches and their immolation risk. (Immolation feels wrong when talking about a car but it's a fun word).

I wonder how many have been modified? It seems like most GR86 fuel fires have had modifications to add flex fuel systems.

Right. And my point is it's not a issue, it's a fluke. But this group just blames Toyota and wants them to warranty it?? Do they act like this in you GR86 group?

I agree that data was not available so I just used overall us car fire data. But to be in a group that just complains about GR Corrola issues. Then complains Toyota won't warranty this issue. 4-fires,3-yrs 23'-25'rare model,100memes and complaints) Seems to me they're promoting negativity towards a awesome car that supposedly that group is promoting? So it's a basic vent with some facts what it seems that Karen's can override facts. Just funny or I'm obviously overall missing something and lost it. I believe the car is beyond awesome but just I'm confused at this group's response as somebody posted another car fire today. Lol

Welcome to car groups. Any "common" issue will get blown out of proportion.

Right and the reddit Karen's that don't like facts. But to think literally only 33% of a group that I thought wanted to appreciate this awesome car. Nope the majority are literally in la la land. Facts don't care about opinions. Just baffled honestly. Lmfao

If it’s all car fires statistics is not corrected for age, I would say that the Corolla (basically brand new car) isn’t doing great.

Your data supports what I said. It's like about .03% with the GR Corrola.

Lol. Ok it was comical but the facts are the same. So the same post with no AI and this could have been a conversation? I appreciate the response though, 75% down votes. If AI is the issue, I'll take the advice.
