Bad reputation: which cars should not be bought

When buying a car, the last thing we want is to have a source of endless trouble in our garage. However, a car is a complex mechanism, so the likelihood of breakdowns is high.

Yahoo Finance experts have compiled the top 10 cars for which this probability is higher than average. If you buy such a car, get ready to spend a lot of time at the service station.

Nissan Altima

This midsize sedan is known for its reliable performance, comfortable interior, and advanced safety features. However, its continuously variable transmission, which is available in many trim levels, often fails after 150,000 kilometers.

BMW 3 Series

The luxury car is praised for its comfort, style, and sporty character. It is also packed with modern technological features. And all this has to be maintained at a very high cost. And after 150,000 kilometers, problems with the engine and electrical system may begin.

Land Rover Discovery

These cars are known for their constant problems with air suspension, regular electrical anomalies, and premature transmission failure.

Fiat 500

This stylish city car is loved for its recognizable style and maneuverability. However, this charming car often has engine problems, including oil leaks. In addition, the limited space in the engine compartment contributes to the high cost of repairs.

Jeep Wrangler

The iconic SUV is appreciated for its high cross-country ability in all conditions and sturdy construction. At the same time, it is sensitive to rust and has problems with steering and suspension.

Ford Fiesta

The compact car is pleasing for its maneuverability and fuel economy, which is convenient for city roads. But it also has regular transmission and electronics failures.

Chrysler 200

The midsize sedan offers a comfortable interior that combines style and practicality. But in general, the Chrysler 200 has a significant frequency of engine, transmission, and electrical repairs. Even after a relatively short mileage.

Volkswagen Tiguan

The model has become a favorite among drivers who are looking for a combination of aesthetics and comfort in their cars. For this, they have to put up with frequent and expensive transmission repairs, especially after 150,000 kilometers.

Mini Cooper

The epitome of British style in car building has not lost its reputation as a bag of trouble even after being taken over by BMW. The Mini Cooper in particular suffers from problems related to oil leaks, turbine malfunctions, as well as suspension and electrical issues.

Tesla Model S

The iconic electric car is starting to look less attractive when it comes to replacing the battery, which is a very expensive proposition. And this need often arises after 150,000 kilometers.
