We've updated the results for the A6 to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

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

2008: 94, worse than average, very small sample size

2007: 76, about average

2006: 48, better than average

2005: 175, worse than average

2004: 80, about average

2003: 129, about average

2002: 147, worse than average

2001: 170, worse than average

2000: 164, worse than average

1999: 130, about average

Decent sample sizes for the 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006, small and even very small sample sizes for the others. This could explain some inconsistencies. The 2006 result in particular appears off.

We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We've updated the our reliability stats for the A6 (on our redesigned site!) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.

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

2008: 91, worse than average, small sample size

2007: 41, better than average, small sample size

2006: 69, about average

2005: 182, worse than average

2004: 85, about average

2003: 130, about average

2002: 133, about average

2001: 190, worse than average

2000: 202, worse than average

1999: 105, better than average

Decent sample sizes for the 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006, small and even very small sample sizes for the others. This could explain some inconsistencies. It might also help to break out our reliability stats by engine, but not yet enough cars in the sample.

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates later this month and in May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We've updated the our reliability stats for the A6 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2012.

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

2012: 25, better than average (very good start for the redesigned A6)

2008: 70, about average, small sample size

2007: 88, worse than average, sample size one car short of the minimum

2006: 35, better than average, unclear why this stat is much better than those for the 2007 and 2008

2005: 118, worse than average

2004: 75, about average, small sample size

2003: 133, worse than average

2002: 97, worse than average

2001: 132, worse than average

2000: 121, worse than average, small sample size

We'll have further updates in February and May. We'd love to provide more precise stats and cover more model years--just a matter of getting more owners involved.

We've updated our reliability stats for the A6 / S6 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2013.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2013 A6 / S6: 34, moderate
2012 A6: 35, moderate
2008 A6 / S6: 27, low, small sample size
2007 A6 / S6: 76, moderate, small sample size
2006 A6: 59, moderate
2005 A6: 64, moderate

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:
2012 A6: 75, < 1
2006 A6: 56, 4

We'll have further updates in August and in November. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

Updated stats later this month.

We'd like to get rid of those "small sample size" disclaimers--additional participants are always helpful.
