What American cars should not be bought: bad options
The "made in the USA" label remains an unchanging mark of quality when it comes to cars. But even the American auto industry has its failures.
Gobankingrates.com journalists have analyzed several expert ratings and identified six models that you shouldn't spend your money on. They will cause you too many problems and often require expensive repairs.
Chrysler 300
This model lags behind its competitors in terms of technology and has worse performance than similar cars in this class. The model also lets you down with its outdated design. In addition, in case of repair, it will be difficult to get the necessary parts. And the price often exceeds much better options.
Buick Encore GX
Last year, Buick was included in the list of the most unreliable car brands. The predicted reliability rating of its cars was only 54 out of 100. The Encore GX 2023 was one of the worst models to buy. Problems include high average maintenance costs due to problems with brakes, engine, fuel system, and emissions components.
Ford Explorer
Experts point out that the Explorer is too expensive for a regular three-row SUV. At the same time, for this money, it offers a poor interior and weak technical characteristics. You can buy a much more decent car for less.
Dodge Caravan
One of the worst features of a minivan is its gluttony. In the city, it consumes almost 14 liters of fuel per 100 km, and on the highway - almost 9.5 liters. And despite its powerful engine, it accelerates slowly.
Cadillac XT4 Sport
Among the disadvantages of the model over its competitors, journalists highlighted a noisy engine that vibrates too much and a cramped crossover interior. For such a model, these are rather unexpected drawbacks, because most manufacturers have long learned to deal with them.
Lincoln Aviator
An executive SUV for a fairly decent price brings a whole lot of problems to its owner. And the range of these problems is huge - electronics, drive system, suspension, steering, paintwork, interior trim, door seals, electrical system. There is practically no living space on the car.
