10 Vehicles Drivers REGRET Buying 

Low profile tires look nice, but they eventually suck. You start to feel the bumps and road roughness within the first month of ownership. You especially regret after getting in a regular tire car and realize how smooth the ride.

Not surprised how many ppl would never buy a Nissan again. They have dropped so badly it’s insane. They were neck and neck with Toyota & Honda in reliability at one time. The big 3 in Japan is no longer Toyota, Honda, Nissan. It’s now Toyota, Honda, Mazda.

Where's the Toyota Camry on the list of longest lasting cars? The Camry is the most reliable sedan and has been the most popular selling car in the USA since 1997

Great video! To the point with no BS, thanks!

I take it those top 10 vehicles that people would never buy again probably has to do with bad reliability, bad CVT, problems with the engines, and costly maintenance.

3:17. What Corolla only lasts 180k miles? That’s barely broken in when you’re talking about a Toyota.

Great video and analysis! Thanks EMD!

I owned an Altima and my CVT went out at 60k miles. Really? I traded it in for a Rav 4. I opted to get a vehicle with a traditional transmission and AWD. I love it.

Nissan has the most unreliable CVT

Those Honda turbos wont last 180k miles 😂😂😂😂

But…. Do these people have buyers remorse because of mechanical problems or did the new car smell wear off with years of payments staring them in the face.?? Some people will never be content or get bored very easily.

Mercedes benz C class looks cool? I guess if you like early 2000's ford taurus styling

The Sentra? I don't believe that. There's a reason they've been around for 40 years.

I’ve owned eight Nissans and three Hondas. All great cars with great quality. Not one lemon in the bunch.

I have the QX50 and I agree. It's not a bad looking car, but the infotainment system is dated (wish it had the QX60 updates) and the CVT is wonky at times - the gear slips or gets confused and theres delayed acceleration sometimes. If I was to buy a SUV now (non-german) - it would be a Lexus or Genesis. Acura isn't bad either, but I hate the center console.

Dave - great to see you brought your son in to the Everyman Driver fold. He's doing a great job!

I was seriously considering a new seltos. Settled on a new Corolla SE.

My wife has a 2021 AWD Seltos. Its reliability is fine. The headlights suck but other than that, it's not so bad. It gets good gas mileage, is easy to park, and has good interior space. The headlights are narrow slits and don't let out a ton of light. Because of that we wouldn't get it again.

A lot goes into the decision to buy a new car including proximity of the dealership. I live in a senior community and the only dealership close to us is Nissan. The Subaru outback and Forrester are very popular but the nearest dealer is 1.5 hour away.

I will never buy another Subaru, I was so disappointed in my 2015 Outback. It used oil horribly. The actual gas mileage was around 20% below the sticker. The interior was cheap plastic. The stated power of the radio was based on a gimmick. I am done with Subaru.

I'm kind of glad no mid-size trucks were included in any of your lists. I'm 60 and can't get into a sedan anymore without my back bothering me afterwards. Picking up a 2022 Nissan Frontier SV 4x4 w/Premium Package in a couple of days. The Premium Package was a MUST HAVE option for me. Took me a month to track down the model I wanted that I didn't have to drive 8 or 10 hours to get to. A ex-leased truck with 19k miles on it. A 3.8 gas engine with a 9 speed trans. No Turbo's or Hybrid crap for me. A simple, old school truck that should last me a good 15 years. Good luck to all the Turbo or Hybrid guys trying to get those vehicles to last as long, without having to replace a Turbo or Hybrid Battery Pack. Have you priced that stuff? LOL And an SUV isn't an option for me. My dog sheds and I don't want cloth seats, so I need leather seats, but you can't get leather seating in the lower trim levels. If I go up in trim levels, those vehicles all seem to come standard with a 4 cyl turbo and/or hybrid engines. Nope, not for me. Hello Nissan! Leather and no turbo motor! And easy to get into and out of.

I had my rouge past 100,000 miles with none of these issues people claim Nissan has. I've always had Nissans and they've been very dependable for me. I'm sitting in my new 2024 Nissan now ❤

In simply amazing that we have lists like this nowadays! Certainly doesn't hurt when car shopping.🤔😬🤓

I don’t understand average lifespan. Does this mean if you drive the vehicle without Maintnance ? Because with regular maintenance and proper care most if not all vehicles will reach well over 200,000 miles these days.

Yep, 2017 Jetta owner with 5 speed manual. Engine and transmission are fine but I've had electronic window issues, tons of touch screen infotainment problems and traction is awful.

Interesting video! I noticed that Ford doesn’t appear to be on your quote site..

Great video. Corolas and Civics get a way bigger lifespan than the shown here ...just saying it.

Hi like your channel. What can You tell me about VW Passat, looking forward to Buy one. Worth buying. thanks

So stay away from Nissan and Kia....

A lot of Nissan, Volkswagen and Kia/Hyundai on this list. I'm surprised that Jeep isn't somewhere close by. Most car buyers have a romantic idea without researching about choosing cars.

I have 2015 Sorrento cant wait get rid of it

What a great video! Funny Enough I have owned two E-Classes and I am going to buy my third, but I have heard that the C-Class has poor quality

Well , i had a Lexus ES brand new for three years and I wouldn’t buy again, but not because its a bad car , because i want to try something different, so what people say its not important

Loved by Suzuki swift. I would buy it again if was still around.

I bought my Impreza new in 2018 and couldn’t be happier! 56,000 miles and not a single mechanical problem. Sure, I’ve had to do maintenance and replacement of things like batteries and tires. I’m a little skeptical of the measure they give. It has cost more than $1400/10,000 miles driven, and I’m not sure that that even means.

But that means almost half of the owners would buy the car again, and this is just a survey, probably from CR, so that is only their subscribers who bothered to answers the survey. They said that about my car, but in the April issue 2024, they again recommended my car as one to purchase. When pressed to explain their owner dissatisfaction survey in a previous issue, they said owners did not like the lack of fast acceleration in my car. That is not a deal breaker for me.

My parents' bought 2 niece on all the mother and had them 45 years each and the only thing they've ever had to replace was breaks and a Wheel bearing

My 2021 subaru outback is a big disappointment. Faulty infotainment system, when it rains water entering the passenger's side door, cheap materials and bad workmanship the seats has started to crack and tear. Never buy a subaru 🔥

Never buy VW Atlas. I had one for two years. I was 17 times in service with it. Horrible suv

We love our 22' Seltos SX....

This list is unfair just bc you wouldn’t buy a specific model doesn’t mean you don’t like the make maybe the owners would buy an upgrade.

My Mercedes makes me feel very safe but its work to drive it. I have had it a long time. I was hoping that self driving cars would be here sooner.

The Korean automakers (Kia and Hyundai) are not built as well as the Japanese (Toyota & Honda)

The Mitsubishi Mirage is NOT a car, it's a POOR EXCUSE for a car! lol

You should do one for highest percentage ogpf buyers would buy again.

The Sorento is surprising

Keep buying those new cars. 170k? That's when I'm looking to buy them. With a bit of TLC these can easily double that. I think of it like rescuing a badly treated puppy....time to give it a good home. Mind you I tend to prefer Ford and Renault....am I sucker for punishment? Perhaps, but it's all good fun and doesn't cost much.

A lot of Kia and Nissan on this list. What a shock….

wonder the cost per mile of my 99 ford escort,bought it,had it painted,duel exhaust,chrome wheels cost 5 grand,still running great,ice cold air,appx 300,ooo miles,over 30 mpg,bet its cost of ownership is less than any of these vehicles

sounds like you're quoting Consumer Reports, about 80 percent chance I'd never buy one again.

I'm surprised that any Jeep wasn't on the list. I've owned dozens of cars and a brand new Jeep Cherokee was the worst of them all.

We need more insight. What are some of the reasons? Too small, unreliable, costly to run? Personally, I won't buy any of these, but still interested in the reasons.

Nissan used to be a great car until it was made outside Japan. Fact check: models like the Sentra, maxima, stanza were all made in Japan during the 70's, 80s and early nineties then manufacturing was moved to US and the stanza turned into the altima. Most model manufacturing is in US and Mexico now with the largest plants in Smyrna TN and Canton Mississippi. Nissan headquarters in Brentwood TN. Parts suppliers are spread thruout the US as well. Their quality is substandard due to outsourcing, moving production around to different plants and suppliers changing up. No consistency. I was a 3rd party inspector and performed countless containments for their suppliers in dozens of plants in TN and they were and still are sweat shops with low quality work ethics. Their catalytic converters are notorious for issues and cvt transmissions inferior.

Of course Hondw Toyota and Subaru made the list of most reliable in Australia we get a bigger choice of cars of course we get the Kias and Hyundai's but we also get Suzuki's which are pretty good now l will only but cars with a good reputation for reliability that is why we have a 1997 Toyota Hilux and a Suzuki Baleno l wrote our first Baleno off and we bought another one because my wife loves driving the Baleno and in the same factory in lndia on the same production line they make the Toyota Starlet a rebadged Suzuki Baleno and my Hilux has the 22R engine

All this is a matter of opinion and I wonder why they would not buy again. So let me give you mine. January 2020 bought new Ford Explorer Limited and two year olds could have put it together better. November 2020 traded it for a new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado RST with 5.3 engine. Don’t drive personal vehicle much because of a work vehicle. In three years and 19,000 miles had three major engine issues including one of last issues at 19,000 miles had cracked head. Asked dealer why and he said quote ‘cheap parts’. So recently traded it for a new 2023 Nissan Maxima SR because we bought our 17 year old daughter a 2022 Sentra SV that was a great vehicle and if she had not gotten rear ended would still have it but now had a 2023 Nissan Altima SR that is well put together. My opinion these have been better the the American cars lately and I support buying American products but not when they cost so much and are cheaply made.

Ouch for Kia, VW, and Nissan.

I'm on my second Forte, and if it's available when I get a new car, I'll buy a third.

I never seen a mirage make it to 80k. No idea where they are getting those number. Maybe they are including multiple motors.

Tucson is great, Subaru is an oto, hate the car and regretting buying it within 30 minutes.

Guess what - all those engine replacement spend that Kia/Hyundai had to shoulder.....they will surely recoup those $$'s back. Where? Watch your next service bills. I don't blame hardworking folks who dare not touch any Kia or Hyundai vehicle.

Nissan was good before Renault bought them.

It is not professional to talk about cars without mentioning the model year, engine and transmission.

My wife drives a 2017 Corolla got it brand new. The only thing we've changed is the oil, tires and a battery. At first I was pissed i got over it once i saw it gets almost 30mpg and it it has a lot of space 😂

I have had a Nissan Almera for 20 years. Built in Sunderland UK. It has been a very very good car and still is. Unfortunately Nissan replaced the Almera with Qashqai. I also drive an EV - Volkswagen ID.3. It is a mess. Would never buy anything like it.

Notice that most cars not bought again are Hyundais , Kia’s , Nissans , Volkswagens , Mercedes , which aren’t much better that a cheap disposable lighter …..esp Kia’s & Hyundais

Honda has been the world wide value leader here in the US ever since they brought in their first Civic..It was small, but it didn't break and it giot great gas milage..new Honda cars? same, same.

Best cars ever rav4 mk2....worst rav4 mk3 couldn't get rid of it quick enough.

The list of those who wouldn’t purchase again is mostly unsurprising because they’re low end cars, and people aspire to buy something better next time. The exceptions are the Kia Sorento Hybrid, Infiniti, and Nissan Altima. Their low rates are pretty damning.

Why the KICKS on the list? ... wish u gave reasons.

Our Altima is awesome!

Do not buy a sorento FWD PERIOD!! Any year. Those front tires spin out so easily. Very dangerous too as a family car with a newborn!

Funny that on these US ‘worst of’ videos, US made cars don’t really show up on the lists. Funny that.

Did you stop doing car reviews?

Nissan CVT was the cause of their downfall.

Interesting that so many of these are entry-level vehicles. I can understand why a majority wouldn’t buy that vehicle again. When they get out of it, they are moving to a K5 or an Altima or whatever the next car up is. They wouldn’t buy it again because they are in a different life stage.

Where's the list

The Jetta was the worst car I ever owned. Will never buy a German car.

Nissan? Not unless they can improve that transmission. No German, no French, no American--experience acquired the hard way. Waiting for Chinese vehicles. We hear they are affordable and well made

Nissan builds some sad cars. The Kicks was horrible as a rental. Sounds like a defective sewing machine and underpowered as sin plus the transmission for a car with less than 40k miles sounded and felt like it was going to fail.

Where is the Kia Soul

Had a 2017 Infiniti Q60 Red Sport…..what a horrible piece of crap that car was. Anything Nissan you can pretty much stay away from…

No Chinese car on the list ?

Apparently don't buy Nissans. Not surprised. Ever since Renault took them over they've been crap.

Seems like Kia and Nissan are here often.

Stay away from Nissan, is what I take away from this video.

Anything within 10 points isn’t worth mentioning

2021 Nissan Rouge never again

No domestics on this list? This list of regrets seems suspect.

VW’s are JUNK😮

Yes Toyota camary should be number one

Mazda is the best foreign automaker...

Nissan uses the dreaded CVT transmission, which is junk

My son just bought a Nissan Sentra. It’s so much better than a Toyota Corolla, which is more comparable to the Nissan Versa.

for us, honda and subaru. Never again!

LOL… I will not buy any of those!! Subaru, Mitsubishi..No thanks!!

MB C-class. The "C" is for Crap.

New Honda 1.5L is not worth it.

When you name your vehicle after a certain violent criminal cultures slang word for shoes what do you really think is going to happen when you pander to stupidity and ignorance?

Anything Jeep!! 🤮 🤮 🤮 Toyota ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Honda ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Jeep should be top of the list. Terrible quality and horrendous repair costs which is often
