It was long overdue, and I’ve now added bodystyle and powertrain specs for 2000 and 2001 models to the database. What this means–it’s now possible to participate with 2000 and 2001 model year cars in all surveys, including the “Why (Not) This Car?” survey, Gas Mileage Survey, and Car Repair History Survey.

It took me about 33 hours to enter this data, which is why it didn’t happen sooner. I plan to also add the 2000 model year, but that will probably be as far back as we’ll go for all surveys.

The main survey, the Car Reliability Survey, will continue to cover from the 1995 model year on.
