Any idea what this xB reliability rating is all about?

Any idea what this xB reliability rating is all about?

Looking at the JP numbers seemed really strange. Everything was 5/10 except Honda which was consistently 8/10, with the xB being an exception at 6/10. I'd love to see the real data going into that conclusion!

Regardless, its proven engine, a good tranny, and its built well for the price. Its rated high on resale, so keep up the maintenance and enjoy. If you ever have to sell it, you'll make your money, I expect to be driving my xB in the 150k+ range.

This might be the reason why the numbers are weird:
Looking at the 2009 xb2 ratings on that site, it seems that it's the "Body & Interior Dependability" and the "Feature & Accessory Dependability" of the 2004/2005 model that is bringing the overall reliability scores down. The "Powertrain Dependability" scores are good.
Not sure about the soundness of using 2004/2005 xb1 scores to predict 2009/2010 xb2 reliability.
Dependability Ratings
These scores come from consumer ratings of their vehicles after three years of ownership.

I'm in the same boat partner. Hopefully we'll get in touch in a few years to see how we did hehehe

I'm just having difficulty seeing how it can land two points below the Hondas. I undersand the 2.4L Camry has an excellent reliability rep.
