The Prius is still the most reliable

From examiner.com…

Tracking closely with the reliability survey results it released last fall, TrueDelta.com said owners of the Toyota Prius hybrid still reported the fewest unscheduled dealer visits of any new car.

The 2008 Prius averaged four dealer trips per 100 vehicles last year. In contrast, the worst-performing new vehicle in the survey — the 2009 Jaguar XF — required 141 dealer trips per 100 vehicles.

The average 2008-model car needed about 50 trips for repairs per 100 vehicles — a 50 percent chance of needing work within 12 months — TrueDelta said.
