General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Jan | 2009 | 6200 | 0 | Radio would cut out momentarily (very infrequent occurrences). Dealer replaced the radio, so far so good. Plastic steering column shroud loose, dealer glued it. A quarter panel at the rear right side kept popping out. I fixed it myself, seems good so far. Possibly a small assembly error. |
| Mar | 2009 | 8060 | 0 | Front door locks developed a significant clunk that occurred when opening doors. Dealer installed striker panel spacers and aligned the doors, problem fixed. On a side note - as a result of the adjustment the front doors sit a bit lower than a rear ones. |
