We have updated results for the G to include owner experiences through December 31, 2009. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 5

2008: 36

2007 sedan: 64

All are better than average except the 2007 sedan, which are 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.

The percentage with no repairs is about 68 for the 2007 sedan and 71 for the 2008, while the percentage of lemons is about 3 for the 2007 and less than one for the 2008. These stats require more data, so we don't yet have them for other model years.

A big thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. The more participants we have, the better the information we can provide.

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

Recently passed the 1,000 owner mark with the G. Thanks, guys. Of course, more is always better, so no need to stop at the current 1,011...

Quick question. Are the results grouped by submodel/package? (I.E. G35S, G35x, etc...) The only reason I ask is that I have always wondered how reliable is the G35x , or the S for that matter, compared to a base or Journey model.

I would split the AWDs if there was evidence that this was necessary, and do this for some other models, but the last time I checked drivetrain problems were rare with the G.

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.
