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

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

2010: 25, better than average, 18 cars

2009: 117, worse than average

2008: 68, about average

2006: 48, better than average, very small sample size

2005: 44, better than average, small sample size

2004: 35, better than average, small sample size

2003: 95, about average, small sample size

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.

In the case of the 2008 CTS, the percentage with no repairs is about 61, and the percentage of lemons is about 7.

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