We've updated our reliability stats for the G to include owner experiences through March 31, 2013.

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

2006 G: 50, moderate
2005 G: 45, low
2004 G: 60, low
2003 G: 69, low

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:

2006 G: 64, 2
2004 G: 53, 5
2003 G: 57, 3

We'll have further updates in August and in November.

I find it extraordinary that the first year of production, 2003, has the lowest incidence of repair. It is based on 294 cars reporting, the third highest sample (after 2007 and 2008, and not by much). That is so counterintuitive; usually first year cars have problems and need a shake-out and the subsequent years get better. Although a 300 car sample is actually pretty small and I'm not sure how valid it would be statistically without knowing the total production runs of the various years. Still, it's real data you can't get anywhere else. Some information is always better than none.

The stats are based on the past year, and in the past year we've had responses for 41 cars. The number you cite includes previous rounds of the survey going back eight years.

The size of the population isn't really relevant. 41 is a pretty good sample size for gaining useful information, but it's not high enough to distinguish between a 52 and a 61. So the stats for all four model years are about the same. I would not conclude from these stats that the 2003 is the most reliable. But I would conclude that all four model years are pretty reliable.

Another thing to realize is that we measure successfully completed repair trips. The older cars get, the more likely owners are to live with minor problems rather than fixing them. At this point all four model years are beyond even a CPO warranty.

Larger sample sizes are always better. So for anyone reading this who hasn't join, but can help:

We've been providing reliability stats for these cars for a long time, and will have another update soon. But more of our members have been selling them than buying them, so our sample sizes have been shrinking.

I'd like to reverse this trend. If you haven't yet joined, to help:

For members who have been around for a while, what do you think of the Q50? I notice that this forum has no sister forum for the Q50, and wonder why not.

So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the G now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):

2006 G: 52, low
2005 G: 57, low
2004 G: 64, low
2003 G: 72, low

Plus, the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2006 G: 60, < 1
2004 G: 58, < 1
2003 G: 57, 6

Our reliability stats for the G now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2006 G: 55, low
2005 G: 61, low
2004 G: 47, low
2003 G: 68, low

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:

2006 G: 62, 3
2004 G: 72, < 1
2003 G: 54, 3

Additional participants always helpful.
