Experts named affordable cars that are better to avoid

The affordable car segment has a wide range of models. Among them, there are those that should be avoided in order not to be disappointed in the purchase. This list will help you navigate and make the right choice.

WhatCar experts have tested many different models in the affordable hatchback and crossover segments. The conclusion is simple: you can actually buy more or less successful cars for the same money. It's important to decide which models are better to avoid.

What cars are not worth buying:

• Citroen C3;
• MG3;
• Ford Ecosport;
• Jeep Renegade.

Citroen C3 was praised for its original design. However, among the disadvantages were poor handling and limited practicality.

The Chinese hatchback MG3, which is sold under the British brand, has a weak engine. Another drawback is depressing safety.

Ford Ecosport is mostly disliked for its lack of practicality. Especially since Ford has Puma, a more advanced compact crossover. Experts also do not like the ride quality of the Ecosport.

The Jeep Renegade is roomy and behaves well off-road. However, the high price and fuel consumption are disadvantages.
