We have updated our reliability stats for the Mazda3 and MazdaSpeed3 (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through December 31, 2011.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2011 Mazda3: 28, better than average
2010 Mazda3: 14, better than average
2010 MS3: 16, better than average
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.
These stats require more data. We received enough responses for the following years, the regular Mazda3 in all cases:
2010: 87, < 1
Thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information.
