Chevrolet Impala reliability - how does it compare? - 3/5/2007 10:19:50 AM    mkaresh   Posts: 78 Joined: 3/5/2007 Status: offline In late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "times in the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. Relative ratings obscure too much--how large is the difference between "better than average" and "worse than average"? I collect data on any year with 25 owners signed up. The 2006 just reached this mark, and the 2004 is getting close. 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, panel members will receive full access to the results free of charge. Details: Vehicle reliability research Comments, questions, and suggestions welcome. < Message edited by mkaresh -- 10/7/2007 10:26:32 AM > _____________________________ truedelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information Post #: 1

I'd like to collect data on all recent model years, but need at least 25 owners per year signed up first. < Message edited by mkaresh -- 5/29/2007 7:29:17 AM > _____________________________ truedelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to mkaresh) Post #: 2

I'd really like to see how the Impala compares to competitors, most of which I'm already providing results for. _____________________________ truedelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to mkaresh) Post #: 4

I just started collecting data on the 2006--thanks, guys--and am getting close to the minimum sample with the 2004. Results for about 65 other models next month. _____________________________ truedelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to keithb123) Post #: 7

I'd really like to have some Chevrolets in there the next time around, in February. _____________________________ truedelta.com Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information (in reply to mkaresh) Post #: 8

RE: Chevrolet Impala reliability - how does it compare? - 11/27/2007 10:30:22 AM    mkaresh   Posts: 78 Joined: 3/5/2007 Status: offline Only a few owners short of the minimum for some model years. Also, just added the Common Auto Repairs Database (CARDb), where members can post common repairs for a car. It's possible to include a link to a forum thread discussing the problem, which could brind additional traffic to this forum.
