Scion Reliability for the Year Ending June 30, 2018

General NotesHow do we select "competing car models"? Users of TrueDelta's car price comparison tool most often compare these cars to the Scion.

Models 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 5 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase 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.

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

Scion Reliability

You won't find Scion reliability information like this anywhere else. Actual repair frequencies, not just vague dots. So you can tell how much the Scion truly differs from competing car models in reliability.

These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to much more closely track Scion reliability as the cars age. Others tell you how reliable the Scion was a year ago, when the cars were a year younger and had 12,000 fewer miles on them. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Scion has been recently.
