Saab 9-3 reliability: better info
I wanted more up-to-date car reliability information that included actual repair rates. So a few years ago I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now updates actual repair frequencies, not just dots, four times a year, to track cars closely as they age.
We've had very good participation by Saab 9-3 owners, with over 500 signed up. But more remain needed to provide precise results for all model years. So I'm grateful that Dave suggested that I post a thread here.
Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.
To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the 9-3, for free. I'll share results for the 9-3 in this thread after each update.
For the details, and to sign up to help out:
