Reliability information

partipilo · 08-25-2009, 04:18 AM

Just wanted to chime in on reliability. I accidentally curbed my 08 prius. the alignment did not get jacked up. That speaks much to me about its build quality. I have had Pontiacs in the past which would lose alignment if you just dare looked at it funny.

We have updated results for the Prius to include owner experiences through June 2009. In terms of successful repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: no repairs reported yet, sample size one car (!) below the minimum for a full result

2008: 11

2007: 19

2006: 26

2005: 14

2004: 32

All are much better than average.

A big thank you, once again, to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information.

We'll also have a result for the 2010 in November.
