How to read this ranking
Order is traceable to counted owner mentions across distinct communities, with coded owner sentiment and spec confidence shown alongside. Only models clearing the evidence gate — a resolved make and model plus at least two owner comments or medium/high spec confidence — appear here. Low-confidence combo rows are quarantined.
Mention volume reflects community popularity and recommendation culture, not sales or lab-tested quality. Where owner praise and the spec sheet disagree, the model page states the conflict.
