When you shop for a car, you hope to find something that will deliver a great ride without breaking down. Unfortunately, some models come from automakers who “talk a big game but can’t deliver the goods,” according to Consumer Reports.
Recently, the publication surveyed its members to ask them how satisfied they were with their vehicles. Specifically, they were asked whether they would buy the same car again.
Following are the cars that less than half of survey respondents said they would purchase in the future.
