When the list changes
A list changes when a car is added to the table, or when a new model year changes a car’s controls.
About this list
Each car was checked by an editor against the photograph on its card. The Physical controls table names the version checked for every car and explains the terms. Other versions and model years of the same car can differ.
The list covers the 125 cars in the table, not the whole market. A car that is missing has not been checked yet; it has not been ruled out. To correct an entry, send a correction. The data is a free download.
