Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

We've been providing results for some Hyundai models for over a year now, and will also include the Accent as soon as enough owners sign up to participate.

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 receive full access to the results for free.

For the details, and to help get your model year of the Accent included:

Michael Karesh is a fine statistician. I've given Michael Karesh data from my Dodge Caliber for about 1 year. & my reward has been good vehicle reliability AND gas MPG data on many Caliber cars under many conditions. Recently, I've given him data on my wife's 2008 Hyundai Accent. However, to make the data viable, he needs more owners to send him repair data on all years of the Accent.  I encourage everyone who owns any year Accent to send Mr. Karesh data. Once enough car repair data is sent him, Mr. Karesh can publish data on the Accent. But he really needs you....any Accent with any repair data, good & bad.

Thanks for the support, litesong. It seems to have helped. There are now 23 2007s signed up, and assuming at least two more will arrive soon I've added that year to the survey.

Other years aren't there yet. Hopefully soon.

Come on folks. If you want good reliability data, here is the opportunity to have direct, positive results. Add enough of your data to Michael's Accent data to make statisticly publishable information available now. I'm curious as I can be to see Michael's Accent reliability data.
