I wanted more up-to-date car reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now updates actual repair frequencies, not just dots, four times a year, to track cars closely as they age.
Thanks to the help of Antoine and this forum, for which I'm very grateful, we've had excellent participation by Mazda owners, and so have been providing reliability information on most Mazda models for some time. I've love to do the same with the Mazda2 - just a matter of getting enough owners involved.
Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.
To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the Mazda2, for free. I'll share results for the Mazda2 in this thread after each update.
