We've updated our reliability stats for the S80 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2013.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010 S80: 39, moderate, small sample size
2009 S80: 36, low, small sample size
2008 S80: 40, low
2007 S80: 42, low, small sample size
2001 S80: 38, low, very small sample size
2000 S80: 111, moderate, very small sample size
1999 S80: 234, high, very small sample size

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:

2008 S80: 68, < 1

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

So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the S80 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):

2010 S80: 60, moderate
2009 S80: 52, moderate, small sample size
2008 S80: 58, moderate
2007 S80: 56, low, small sample size
2004 S80: 96, moderate, very small sample size

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

2010 S80: 49, < 1
2008 S80: 58, 3

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 S80 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:

2010 S80: 52, moderate
2009 S80: 68, moderate, small sample size
2008 S80: 41, low
2007 S80: 26, low, small sample size
2004 S80: 45, low, very small sample size

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:

2010 S80: 54, < 1
2008 S80: 68, < 1

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

We've updated our reliability stats for the S80 to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources.

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2010 S80: 55, moderate
2009 S80: 55, moderate, small sample size
2008 S80: 45, low
2007 S80: 10, low, very small sample size
2004 S80: 46, low, very small sample size

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:

2010 S80: 67, < 1
2008 S80: 63, 3

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

We've updated our reliability stats for the S80 to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year (lower is better):

2010 S80: 48, moderate
2009 S80: 65, moderate, small sample size
2008 S80: 67, moderate
2007 S80: 35, low, very small sample size
2004 S80: 52, low, very small sample size

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:

2008 S80: 58, 11

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