Car you're interested in not listed? Then not enough owners participated. You can help by telling others about this research. More participants = more information for everyone.

Definitions

Trips / Year per 100 (CRS Score) -- average number of successful repair trips per year per 100 cars; routine maintenance such as oil and filter changes does not count as a repair
Graph -- pointer shows how the model compares to others from the same model year
Traffic Signal (TS) -- same as the graph, but with three simple, easier-to-read alternatives; green = better than average, yellow = about average, red = worse than average
Cars -- number of cars for which owners provided data
Months / Car -- average number of months of data per car
Odometer -- average odometer reading, in miles; under 9,000 per year in green, over 15,000 per year in red

General Notes

Models marked with an asterisk* have very low sample sizes. At best, the results for these models, which are visible only to logged-in members, provide a very rough estimate of their reliability.

Ultra-low repair rates: Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 vehicles 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 during the model year as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems.

In general, the absolute differences are not large. The most reliable models tend to require a repair trip once every three or four years, while the average model requires one about once every two years and the least reliable models average about a trip a year.

Methodology

Description of the research process.

Only successfully completed repairs or problems that motivated owners to dispose of the car in order to avoid fixing them are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.
