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

I've had to change an ignition coil at 150k. They seem to run for a while.

Our reliability stats for the xB now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2009 xB: 31, low, small sample size
2008 xB: 30, low

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved.

My Xb is an 09 with 142,000 miles on it and the only problem I have ever had with it was the oil consumption, it was bad and really upset me for a long while but after they replaced the pistons and rings it is back to like new. That is the only thing that has ever had to be done to this car except regular wearing items like brakes. I hope to keep this thing on the road for another 200,000.

I have a '10 xB with 132k on it. Spark plugs, new windshield wiper etc.

Other than regular consumables oil consumption was the only problem. I got the pistons and piston rings changed and just passed the first 1000 miles. Driving smoother than before.

If I can get 200k from the car I'll consider it a good purchase.
