So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the A3 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):

2015 A3: 23, low
2011 A3: 40, moderate, small sample size
2010 A3: 29, low, very small sample size
2009 A3: 85, high, small sample size
2008 A3: 59, moderate
2007 A3: 61, moderate
2006 A3: 109, high

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

2006 A3: 31, 14

No stat for a model year? Then we very much need more participants for it. Same for those with small sample size notes. Next updates in August and November.

Our reliability stats for the A3 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:

2015 A3: 25, low
2011 A3: 35, low, small sample size
2010 A3: 50, moderate, very small sample size
2009 A3: 82, moderate, small sample size
2008 A3: 66, moderate
2007 A3: 67, moderate
2006 A3: 94, moderate

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 A3: 39, 3

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved.

No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

We'll have further updates in November and next February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.
