The Worst Cars

[MrElussive]

Hey,

I don't specifically agree with this article, but I think it's absolutely hilarious. I guess it's the title that is so damn funny, "The Worst Cars". Usually, they have nicer ways of putting it, such referring to "used cars" as "pre-owned cars", but these guys are so straight up about it, I figured you all had to read/see this article.

Btw, the Kia Rio is my favorite car.

Good article and I did not find any "winners" that I could not agree with.

See, the "Least Reliable" thing made no sense at all to me. How can they judge a car's reliability when it has only been out for a couple of years. They pulled that rating from Consumer Reports, and as usual, Consumer Reports has no idea what they're talking about.

Hasn't the Navigator been out for like 4-5 years?? A friend had one about 3/4 years ago, and it was a real piece. He had a loaner car almost every month. He was so glad it was just leased....he treated it as a rental car, and even dumped it early just to rid himself of it!! So I think there is enough data (excluding Consumer Reports) to justify the Navigator being least reliable.

Yeah, my neighbors had a Navigator. It disappeared pretty quickly. They've had their 7 series and Infiniti for like forever (Infiniti recently was replaced by a SL500... lucky bastards).
