These Are the Cars That People Wouldn’t Buy Again 👎

What we’re showing

The 10 least satisfying cars to own, based on findings from Consumer Reports’ annual survey. Respondents were asked whether they would buy or lease their vehicle again.

Infiniti’s QX50 ranks the worst

The QX50 is Infiniti’s compact crossover offering, currently in its second generation (introduced in 2019).

In a review of the 2024 QX50, Car and Driver criticized the model’s fuel economy and drivetrain.

“Despite luxurious looks and a comfy ride, the QX50 falls short in a highly competitive segment due to an unrefined powertrain.”

Volkswagen Taos not much better

The second worst car in this ranking is the Taos, a compact crossover SUV from Volkswagen. Previous years of the Taos appear to be mired with engine issues, including stalling and acceleration lag.

Between August 2021 and March 2023, a total of 6 recalls were issued for the Taos.
