We've updated our reliability stats for the EX to include owner experiences through June 30, 2013. (Another source is about 14 months behind.)

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

2010 EX: 13, low
2008 EX: 29, 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:

2008 EX: 75, < 1

We'll have further updates in November and February.

Wouldn't mileage statistics be better than trips per car. A vehicle that does 4000 miles a year will have far less trips than one that may do 12,000 in a given period.

We'd also like to have stats based on mileage. Most cars, though, are driven about 1k/month. It's very much a bell-shaped curve. So we'd need a lot more cars to have stats for those with unusually high mileage.

I can't see how that's a problem. If both the 2008 and 2010 have been very reliable, no reason to expect worse from the 2009.
