C204 C-Class reliability
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2012: no repairs reported, 21 cars
2010: 62, about average
2009: 68, about average
2008: 37, better than 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.
With the 2008 the percentage with no repairs is about 73, while the percentage with 3+ repair trips is less than 1.
We'll have further updates in February and May. We'd love to provide more precise stats and fully cover all model years--just a matter of getting more owners involved!

CR also groups its ratings more tightly than we do. One extra problem reported for every ten cars can make a big difference in their ratings. Personally, I think this can distort perceptions of how much cars differ in reliability (many people assume there's a substantial difference between cars with different ratings) so it's much harder for a car to get a "bad" score on our site. Lemons aren't common.
Larger sample sizes are always better. So if you're reading this but haven't been participating, I hope you'll consider it.
