    New stuff this time. We've updated our reliability stats for the Prius c to include owner experiences through the end of 2014. Plus we've added reliability trends graphs. These indicate how a model's reliability has changed as it has aged, and how different model years performed when the same age.

    Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

    2013 Prius c: 3, low
    2012 Prius c: 9, low

    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

    2013 Prius c: 96, < 1
    2012 Prius c: 92, < 1

    We'll have further updates in May and in August. Additional participants especially needed for the 2014 and up.

    To view the new graphs, select "reliability trends" in the breadcrumbs at the top of the linked page.

    So, how have these cars been doing lately?

    Our reliability stats for the Prius c now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

    In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):

    2013 Prius c: 3, low
    2012 Prius c: 12, low

    Plus, the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

    2013 Prius c: 96, < 1
    2012 Prius c: 95, < 1

    No stat for a model year? Then we very much need more participants for it. Next updates in August and November.

    Our reliability stats for the Prius c now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

    Repair trips per 100 cars:

    2013 Prius c: 6, low
    2012 Prius c: 15, low

    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

    2013 Prius c: 93, < 1
    2012 Prius c: 91, < 1

    If a model year isn't listed, then we especially need more owners involved.

    We've updated our reliability stats for the Prius c to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

    2013 Prius c: 6, low
    2012 Prius c: 13, low

    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

    2013 Prius c: 96, < 1
    2012 Prius c: 87, < 1

    No stat? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

    We've updated our reliability stats for the Prius c to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year (lower is better):

    2013 Prius c: 3, low
    2012 Prius c: 15, low

    We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

    2012 Prius c: 88, < 1

    We'll have further updates in November and next February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

    I have registered my 2014 with Mike, hopefully the numbers will climb so that it can be activated. I have been participating with true delta for years with my other cars and it only takes a few minutes every quarter to update your vehicles. Well worth it for the info that you have available to you.
