7 Cars Owners Regret Buying

Buying a fresh car should be an titillating practice. Hopefully a smile is plastered across your face as you drive the car off the dealer lot, with its shiny paint, flawlessly clean interior, and that new-car smell. It’s natural to assume you and your vehicle are headed for miles and miles of road-trip bliss.

In that survey, we asked owners of 2014-2017 model-year cars if, all things considered, they would buy the same car again. The number that answered “definitely yes” forms the holder satisfaction score. While seventy percent of the respondents in our survey were blessed with their choice, many others came away feeling they picked the wrong rail.

The possessor satisfaction rating isn’t something to be taken lightly. After all, it’s one of the poles of the Overall Score we award each tested car, along with road-test spectacle, reliability, and safety. The possessor satisfaction rating is unique in that it reflects the opinions of owners, not the experts at Consumer Reports.

Car Proprietor Satisfaction

Learn about the cars that make owners glad.

Puny SUV: Jeep Compass

Lackluster spectacle, a cramped and austere cabin, narrow front seats, and difficult rearward views are just some of the faults we found with Jeep’s petite SUV entry. The Compass has lost its way with owners, too. Our survey found that just forty two percent of respondents said they would certainly buy one again. Complaints included feeble acceleration and too much road noise, and it was rated uncommonly poor in overall convenience.

“Doesn’t have any power; the gas mileage could be better.”

Midsized SUV: Nissan Pathfinder

The Pathfinder name conjures memories of rugged, truck-based forebears, but this latest softer, gentler iteration is more minivan-like. Frankly, it lacks off-road ruggedness and is boring to drive. Even owners are nonplussed, with the survey demonstrating that they didn’t rate any areas of the vehicle very. Just fifty percent of owners were very pleased with its value. To make matters worse, reliability remains an ongoing concern.

“It had fairly a few issues when it was fresh which the dealer had to treat.”

Petite Car: Dodge Dart

The majority of Dart owners have lost that loving feeling with their choice. This unrefined sedan was not only the lowest-rated compact car but also the third-least-liked vehicle in our analysis. Annoyances ranged from sluggish acceleration to apathetic air conditioning, with one respondent telling it sounds like the engine is going to die when the A/C is turned on. Many owners also said the car suffered from numerous mechanical problems, causing extra trips to the dealer.

“Difficult to find a convenient seating position; tilt steering is not adjustable enough.”

Midsized Sedan: Chrysler 200

It would be generous to say Chrysler’s two hundred is mediocre—clumsy treating, an unsettled rail, and an underwhelming base four-cylinder engine make it feel sorely outdated. Many owners agree, telling the rail was harsher than expected, and the cabin suffers from excessive road noise. It’s also a chore to squeeze your assets in and out, they told us, pointing out that the rear seat in particular is overly cramped and taut on headroom.

“Entry and exit of vehicle is very difficult. Cruise control on downgrade is terrible.”

Minivan: Dodge Grand Caravan

While the all-new Chrysler Pacifica minivan received rave reviews from owners in our survey, the Dodge Grand Caravan seems lost in the desert by comparison. Albeit the Dodge offers a lower price point, this older design falls brief as a family road-trip machine. Respondents said the transmission shifts harshly, the second-row seats are awkward, and the interior feels cheaply made. One proprietor said it has the worst radio ever.

“Carpet and upholstery are cheap. Kicking off to see wear after one year and 11,000 miles of ownership.”

Pickup Truck: Nissan Frontier

That the Frontier feels old when you drive it isn’t all that surprising, since the basics of this truck date back to 2005. As such, the Frontier was rated the worst of all pickups, regardless of size. The high levels of road noise, clumsy steering, and difficulty maneuvering in parking lots bothered respondents. One proprietor said the Frontier’s turning radius is just plain lousy. Others said that inbetween the unsupportive seats and stiff rail, it’s a poor choice for road trips.

“It’s just very noisy. The design of the king cab doors don’t seal very well and permit for a lot of road noise to come in.”

Least-Satisfying Overall: Acura ILX

The Acura ILX is a sway and a miss, in both CR testing and when judged by owners. It falls ten percentage points below the Mercedes-Benz CLA in the same category, itself a disappointing entry. Across all car types, the ILX has the lowest satisfaction, followed closely by the Dodge Dart and Jeep Compass. The ILX was challenged from the commence as a pricey, dressed-up Honda Civic. Acura made several key updates for the two thousand sixteen model year, but even when looking at ratings on just those freshened sedans, they are no different than older model years.

“Lacks acceleration, noisy, poor quality paint, shaky rail. very expensive for the poor quality suggested.”

One proprietor said the Frontier’s turning radius is just plain lousy. Others said that inbetween the unsupportive seats and stiff rail, it’s a poor choice for road trips.

“It’s just very noisy. The design of the king cab doors don’t seal very well and permit for a lot of road noise to come in.”

Least-Satisfying Overall: Acura ILX

The Acura ILX is a sway and a miss, in both CR testing and when judged by owners. It falls ten percentage points below the Mercedes-Benz CLA in the same category, itself a disappointing entry. Across all car types, the ILX has the lowest satisfaction, followed closely by the Dodge Dart and Jeep Compass. The ILX was challenged from the commence as a pricey, dressed-up Honda Civic. Acura made several key updates for the two thousand sixteen model year, but even when looking at ratings on just those freshened sedans, they are no different than older model years.

“Lacks acceleration, noisy, poor quality paint, shaky rail. very expensive for the poor quality suggested.”

7 Cars Owners Regret Buying – Consumer Reports

7 Cars Owners Regret Buying

Buying a fresh car should be an titillating practice. Hopefully a smile is plastered across your face as you drive the car off the dealer lot, with its shiny paint, flawlessly clean interior, and that new-car smell. It’s natural to assume you and your vehicle are headed for miles and miles of road-trip bliss.

In that survey, we asked owners of 2014-2017 model-year cars if, all things considered, they would buy the same car again. The number that answered “definitely yes” forms the holder satisfaction score. While seventy percent of the respondents in our survey were blessed with their choice, many others came away feeling they picked the wrong rail.

The possessor satisfaction rating isn’t something to be taken lightly. After all, it’s one of the poles of the Overall Score we award each tested car, along with road-test spectacle, reliability, and safety. The proprietor satisfaction rating is unique in that it reflects the opinions of owners, not the experts at Consumer Reports.

Car Possessor Satisfaction

Learn about the cars that make owners glad.

Petite SUV: Jeep Compass

Lackluster spectacle, a cramped and austere cabin, narrow front seats, and difficult rearward views are just some of the faults we found with Jeep’s puny SUV entry. The Compass has lost its way with owners, too. Our survey found that just forty two percent of respondents said they would certainly buy one again. Complaints included feeble acceleration and too much road noise, and it was rated uncommonly poor in overall convenience.

“Doesn’t have any power; the gas mileage could be better.”

Midsized SUV: Nissan Pathfinder

The Pathfinder name conjures memories of rugged, truck-based forebears, but this latest softer, gentler iteration is more minivan-like. Frankly, it lacks off-road ruggedness and is boring to drive. Even owners are nonplussed, with the survey showcasing that they didn’t rate any areas of the vehicle very. Just fifty percent of owners were very pleased with its value. To make matters worse, reliability remains an ongoing concern.

“It had fairly a few issues when it was fresh which the dealer had to treat.”

Puny Car: Dodge Dart

The majority of Dart owners have lost that loving feeling with their choice. This unrefined sedan was not only the lowest-rated compact car but also the third-least-liked vehicle in our analysis. Annoyances ranged from sluggish acceleration to apathetic air conditioning, with one respondent telling it sounds like the engine is going to die when the A/C is turned on. Many owners also said the car suffered from numerous mechanical problems, causing extra trips to the dealer.

“Difficult to find a convenient seating position; tilt steering is not adjustable enough.”

Midsized Sedan: Chrysler 200

It would be generous to say Chrysler’s two hundred is mediocre—clumsy treating, an unsettled rail, and an underwhelming base four-cylinder engine make it feel sorely outdated. Many owners agree, telling the rail was tougher than expected, and the cabin suffers from excessive road noise. It’s also a chore to squeeze your bod in and out, they told us, pointing out that the rear seat in particular is overly cramped and taut on headroom.

“Entry and exit of vehicle is very difficult. Cruise control on downgrade is terrible.”

Minivan: Dodge Grand Caravan

While the all-new Chrysler Pacifica minivan received rave reviews from owners in our survey, the Dodge Grand Caravan seems lost in the desert by comparison. Albeit the Dodge offers a lower price point, this older design falls brief as a family road-trip machine. Respondents said the transmission shifts harshly, the second-row seats are awkward, and the interior feels cheaply made. One proprietor said it has the worst radio ever.

“Carpet and upholstery are cheap. Embarking to see wear after one year and 11,000 miles of ownership.”

Pickup Truck: Nissan Frontier

That the Frontier feels old when you drive it isn’t all that surprising, since the basics of this truck date back to 2005. As such, the Frontier was rated the worst of all pickups, regardless of size. The high levels of road noise, clumsy steering, and difficulty maneuvering in parking lots bothered respondents. One holder said the Frontier’s turning radius is just plain lousy. Others said that inbetween the unsupportive seats and stiff rail, it’s a poor choice for road trips.

“It’s just very noisy. The design of the king cab doors don’t seal very well and permit for a lot of road noise to come in.”

Across all car types, the ILX has the lowest satisfaction, followed closely by the Dodge Dart and Jeep Compass. The ILX was challenged from the begin as a pricey, dressed-up Honda Civic.
