New Cars To Avoid
Consumer Reports asked their members in the US about their cars and their satisfaction in owning those vehicles. The question asked of subscribers, “Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.), would you get this car if you had it to do all over again?”
The percentage score indicates how many respondents said yes to the question. Below are seven car/truck categories and the lowest scores for each category. The owner satisfaction score is based on two or three model years of data. For models with an asterisk below (*), the score is owner satisfaction based on one model year only.
