Ford Taurus reliability - better info

[mkaresh]

We've updated our reliability stats for the Taurus to include owner experiences through June 30, 2014.

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

2013 Taurus: 43, moderate
2012 Taurus: 63, high, very small sample size
2011 Taurus: 66, high
2010 Taurus: 73, high

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:

2011 Taurus: 55, < 1
2010 Taurus: 57, < 1

Next updates later this month and in February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

I just signed up for ya... and I have to say, I like the site... it is a little difficult to navigate from a UX point of view, but not unmanageably so.

Always looking for ways to improve navigation. If you have some specific suggestions, shoot me a message. (Replying to any emails you receive from us will do the trick.)

We've updated our reliability stats for the Taurus 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:

2014 Taurus: 62, high, small sample size
2013 Taurus: 33, moderate
2012 Taurus: 47, moderate, very small sample size
2011 Taurus: 21, low
2010 Taurus: 44, 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:

2013 Taurus: 76, < 1
2011 Taurus: 85, < 1
2010 Taurus: 63, < 1

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

Hi, I posted up my four cars.

I would leave a comment on the site for the cars, but it requires accounts I don't want/have.
