Toyota Yaris reliability

[mkaresh]

I wanted more up-to-date auto reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now reports absolute repair rates that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to track cars closely as they age.

We've had very good participation by owners of the 2007 Yaris, so we're already providing results for this year. A larger sample size is always better, though, and we especially need more 2008s and 2009s.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the Yaris, free of charge.

Note: it's interesting to read everyone's responses in the thread, but we can only use data submitted through the survey process in our analysis.
