2010+ Mazda3 reliability -- better info -- please sign up

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.

Been a long time since I posted....

2010 Mazda3 grand touring at 120k miles starting leaking fuel in cold weather. Enough so that it made me cautious seeing since I transported 2 kids to daycare everyday. It was the first issue I had for the life of the car.


Test drove a 2014 Mazda6 but really wanted something with a lot more power.
 
how has the 2.5L MZR that is in the Mazda5/Mazda3 holding up with the AT in the 5/3 at higher mileage?
