We have updated results for the Mazda3 and MazdaSpeed3 to include owner experiences through December 31, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of this year.

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

2010 Mazda3: 23, better than average

2010 MS3: 27, better than average

2008.5-
2009 Mazda3: 45, about average

2008.5-
2009 MS3: 45, about average

2008 Mazda3: 47, about average

2008 MS3: 53, about average

2007 Mazda3: 21, better than average

2007 MS3: 45, better than average

2006: 34, better than average

2005: 32, better than average

2004: 102, 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.

These stats require more data. We received enough responses for the following years, the regular Mazda3 in all cases:

2010: 78, < 1

2009: 68, 3

2008: 66, < 1

2007: 85, < 1

2006: 75, < 1

Thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information.
