In late 2005 I started conducting reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. I'll also be updating results four times a year, so there will be information on new models sooner.

There's plenty of discussion about how the reliability of an Audi compares to a Japanese competitor. But there aren't any good numbers out there to enable a precise comparison. It's time to fix this. The owner of this forum has been helping--thanks JET.

I had a good response the last time I posted here, so I've been collecting data on the Q7. But I still need more responses before I'll be able to provide reliability information on the model.

To encourage participation, panel members will receive full access to the results free of charge.
