Volvo S80 reliability - better info
We've updated results for the S80 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2010. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2009: 171, small sample size and probably not accurate
2008: 43, about average
2000: 152, about average, very small sample size
Everyone who has been helping, thanks, I certainly appreciate it. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Thanks. Please also to remember following the end of each quarter even if you have no repairs to report. In this case, the response is little more than an approximate odometer reading, and takes less than a minute. (Much less for some people.)
Updated stats within two weeks. More participants remain needed to fully cover all model years.

We've updated our reliability stats for the S80 (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2010: 52, about average
2009: 38, better than average
2008: 57, about average
2007: 70, about average
2001: 209, worse than average - possibly inaccurate due to very small sample size
2000: 86, better than average
1999: 94, better than average
Small and even very small sample sizes for all but the 2008, so most of these our reliability stats are imprecise.
Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

I'm afraid it's the usual reason: not enough owners signed up yet. This is especially common with the final model year of a design. We have almost three times as many owners signed up for the 2007.
Yours does put us closer to the minimum.
