I had owners of the new 2008 Mercedes C-Class join up pretty quickly, so I was able to provide a preliminary result for that car last February. None of those owners reported a repair in their first month or two of ownership. There will be some repairs on those cars with the May update, but still not many. Mercedes might have finally gotten its act together. On the other hand, there's the new Cadillac CTS... Which with Jaguar? Still hoping to find out. _____________________________ TrueDelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to ken@britishparts.com) Post #: 13

I don't include these in the analysis unless they aren't covered by the warranty. _____________________________ TrueDelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to paulleslie) Post #: 15

What is your reason for not counting this when car has become unuseable? (in reply to mkaresh) Post #: 16

If I included unsuccessful repairs in the current analysis: --we'd be measuring dealer competence as well as product reliability, adding a variable; additional variables inherently require a larger sample size --would increase the chances of a single car heavily influencing the results In the future, when I'm not doing all the work and the sample sizes are larger, additional analyses will be performed, among them the percentage of repairs that are not successful the first time. The survey has been designed to permit many different analyses. _____________________________ TrueDelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to paulleslie) Post #: 17

To measure initial reliability with reasonable precision, though, we're going to need at least a couple dozen responses. So far 17 owners have signed up. Need more.

This will probably be enought for an initial result in August, but with an asterisk for a very small sample size. A few additional participants could make a big difference.
