In our research we use the PPMY index to compare the reliability of vehicles. The PPMY index of a certain model is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. The total sales of the 2010 Subaru Impreza in the United States are 37,992 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Subaru Impreza owners in the last 16 years is 64, and the age of the vehicle is 16, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 64 / 37,992 / 16 * 1000 = 0.11.
