The latest TrueDelta Vehicle Reliability Survey results have been posted. These are for the year ending September 30, 2007. Late responses could lead to further changes, but these are unlikely to be large.
For the 2007 Nissan Versa, I have an average of 4.4 months of data on 123 cars. This is the largest sample for any model--thanks to great participation from NICOClub members.
The stat of 70 successful repair trips per 100 vehicles per year (0.7 per vehicle) is about average for a 2007 model, and a large improvement from earlier. My sense is that more recently produced cars have not been having as many problems as earlier cars.
I've been seeing very similar repair rates for the new Altima and G35. So the Versa seems typical for a recent Nissan design.
Everyone who has been helping out with this research, thanks, these results wouldn't have been possible without you. A big thanks also to AZHitman and NICOClub, for being so thoroughly supportive.
Those who aren't yet helping out, I hope you'll consider doing so. If enough 2008s sign up, we'll also report on that year next time, in February.
The 2007 Nissan Versa will almost certainly be the first model with 200 enrolled in the panel. Just six away as I type this.
