General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

The 9-2X has had no need for repairs and runs well. The 9-2X is essentially a Subaru Impreza which has a great reliability record as well. Strong and reliable motor and drivetrain. |

Subaru who really is the manufacturer of the car has proven that the WRX hits the balance of fun and reliability. |

I had a old 1988 3 door Subaru standard, got 300k+ punishing miles out of it before a head gasket blew. replaced the gasket and it kept right on. This new Saabaru has 61k miles and nothing has broken yet. |

Never needed to do anything but normal maintainence. Starts every day and hums along without protest. Paint sucks though and my Saab decal on the front has lost its color. |
