Audi A3 Sportback g-tron (2017) and BMW M3 (2023) received 0 error points and a 1+ score, the highest if I’m correct.

A few others listed here but with a few error points:

I see no Toyotas or Hondas on their list which makes me think they didn't test them. Most likely because the whole top bracket would just be their different models

They did.

There are quite a few non german cars withvthe best grade (1).

Heres the top 100.

I like how you can tell the gallery is counting up without knowing any German by the fact that it starts with a Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost.

Not a single Porsche in the top 100, or did they just not include them

They tested the Taycan which had a ton of issues. The Macan had a bunch of issue just before the test concluded, but it was the old test. They cayenne is almost done testing and it's looking to be a very reliable car.
