I've been using True Delta for a few years and I occasionally get emails from actual humans there asking if I still have car X, etc. to make sure they are getting all the data. They will even fill in your repair data for you on an email reply.

Agreed. I very much rely on Consumer Reports for their reviews and opinions. I check their ratings and write-ups before I make most of my more expensive purchases.

OP is NOT asking how Consumer Reports is!

We've updated our reliability stats for the Fit to include owner experiences through the end of 2014. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2015 Fit: 14, low, clean launch for a new car

For the details, including how competitors compare, and to sign up to help improve this information:

Signed up

Knowledge is power. I signed up yesterday and added my two I scheduled service visits. There will be a third once the back ordered parts arrive.

Our reliability stats for the Fit 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):

2015 Fit: 21, low

For repair descriptions, the stats for other cars, and to sign up to help improve this information:

We've updated our reliability stats for the Fit to include owner experiences through September 30, 2015. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2015 Fit: 15, low

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:

2015 Fit: 82, 3

For the details, including repair descriptions, and to sign up to help improve this information (more participants = more precise stats):

Thanks...it's great to have some real statistics to look at instead of anecdotal information.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Fit 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:

2015 Fit: 19, low

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:

2015 Fit: 87, 2

For the repairs behind these stats, reliability information on other models, and to sign up to help improve this information:

You're certainly welcome. The main problem with the Fit is that it's reliability stats are so boring--almost always very good. The 2015's problems have mostly involved trim and such.

We especially need more 2016s. Those who aren't already participating can sign up here:

That must have been the day the server was briefly down. I didn't enjoy that day...
