So? You're saying the Z is not reliable? Yes their sampling size is too small and might lead to sampling error. But that applies to all the cars on their site in the comparison. It's not impossible but highly unlikely that their estimates would be too far off.

No, i am saying the data is largely meaningless as a whole.

As a direct comparison, though, it is very meaningful.

Doubtful. He makes it pretty clear what he is saying:

To paraphrase a bit, the sample size is to small to be really meaningful. Nothing more, nothing less.

He never mentions or implies any reliability issues with the Z. And yes, I know he had tons of problems with his, but he makes no mention of it. He comments only on the sample size and the sampling methodology. Not the reliability of the Z.
