2009 Mazda6 reliability - let's get better info ASAP

[P5w3kids]

Just enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record.

As always, more participants would be helpful. Especially need more 2010s.

Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May, with a preview for participants in mid-April.

We have updated results for the Mazda6 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2010. With 62 repair trips per 100 cars per year, the 2009 is about average.

A big thank you, once again, to Antoine, this forum, and everyone who has been helping. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years. Especially need more 2010s and (once they arrive) 2011s.

We have updated results for the Mazda6 to include owner experiences through June 30, 2010.

Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

With 57 repair trips per 100 cars per year, the 2009 remains about average.

A big thank you, once again, to Antoine, this forum, and everyone who has been helping. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years. Especially need more participants for the 2010 and up.

Starting this month we have a new question to measure, as objectively as possible, the severity of a problem. Many people have been asking for reliability stats that weight problems by how severe they are, and once we have enough responses with the revised survey we'll start providing this.

Also this month: updated reliability stats.

As always, the more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

We have updated results for the Mazda6 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of next year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010: 56, about average, small sample size

2009: 47, about 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.

For the 2009, the percentage with no repairs is about 70, and the percentage of lemons is about 3. These stats require more data, so we don't yet have them for other model years.

Mazda6 Lemon-odds and Nada-odds

Thank you, once again, to Antoine, this forum, and everyone who has been helping. That said, this is again among our least consistent sets of results, probably due to the sample sizes. If more owners could participate, we could provide more precise results and cover all model years.
