Updated stats later this month.

I'd love to provide more precise stats and cover all model years--just a matter of getting more people involved.

We've updated our reliability stats for the M 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:

2012 M: 27, low, very small sample size
2011 M: 46, moderate
2008 M: 33, low, very small sample size
2007 M: 73, moderate
2006 M: 24, 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:

2006 M: 79, < 1

We'll have further updates in November and February.

Our reliability stats for the M now include owner experiences through March 31, 2014, making them nearly a year ahead of other sources.

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

2012 M: 30, low, small sample size
2011 M: 32, low

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. Next update in August.

Another update soon.

Healthy participation by 2011 owners. While more 2011s would certainly be helpful--with sample sizes more is always better--we especially need more owners involved for the 2012 and later, so we can provide complete stats for all model years.

I added myself, but I only just recently got my 2011.

I added my former 2007, but I can't seem to take the survey.

The main reliability survey starts from when you join, so it's not possible to respond for cars you used to own. We do it this way to avoid distorted stats, as people might be more likely to join if they have an existing problem with the car.

It is possible to post about past repairs using a separate form, under "repair histories." It's one of the options in the menus in My Garage on the site.

We're working on a more seamless integration between the two methods of entering repairs. It's much trickier than it might seem.

Additional participants always helpful (especially if you see "small sample size" next to the year, or no stat at all).

We've updated our reliability stats for the M to include owner experiences through the end of 2014.

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

2012 M: 27, low, small sample size
2011 M: 34, 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:

2011 M: 70, < 1

We'll have further updates in May and in August. More participants especially needed for the 2012 and up.

So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the M 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):

2012 M: 52, moderate, small sample size
2011 M: 40, moderate

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

2011 M: 70, < 1

No stat for a model year? Then we very much need more participants for it. Same for those with small sample size notes. Next updates in August and November.

Our reliability stats for the M 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:

2012 M: 71, high, very small sample size
2011 M: 47, moderate

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:

2011 M: 67, 3

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved.

We've updated our reliability stats for the M 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:

2012 M: 51, moderate, very small sample size
2011 M: 40, moderate

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:

2011 M: 69, < 1

No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

We've updated our reliability stats for the M to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year (lower is better):

2011 M: 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:

2011 M: 85, < 1

With additional participants we could cover more recent model years.
