There’s an interesting study conducted by Consumer Reports experts, who surveyed more than 300,000 car owners to find out if they’re happy with their own car. You will be surprised, but even the “Japanese” participated in the “anti-rating” of three-year-old cars that are not recommended for purchase.
During the survey, experts asked car owners the question “would you buy the car you are using again”. At the same time, voters were asked to take into account a whole range of factors: from price and technical parameters to the level of reliability, comfort and other characteristics.
So, according to the results of the survey, among the owners of “three-year-olds”, the owners of the German crossover Volkswagen Atlas were most dissatisfied with their cars. The Russians know this model under the name Teramont. Only 38% of respondents expressed a desire to buy this car again.
The second model that motorists will never buy again is the no less German Mercedes-Benz GLB. 39% of the survey participants voted in favor of repurchasing this car. And in third place in the “anti-rating” is the Japanese a la premium crossover Infiniti QX50, to which only 40% of respondents expressed a desire to switch again.
Among other cars that disappointed their owners are the miniature Mercedes-Benz GLA (45% for a repeat purchase) and the compact Volkswagen Taos SUV – the model was supported by 48% of the study participants.
In addition, owners were dissatisfied with the American Jeep Compass, which 46% of respondents are willing to choose again, as well as with the Korean Kia Seltos. The latter maintain their commitment to a maximum of 49% of car owners.
And by the end of last year, experts from the TÜV agency summarized the “hit parade” of the most unreliable cars, where the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC were among the most vulnerable crossovers. The report was made public based on data from a survey of just under 100,000 car owners, who were more likely to contact technical centers with various breakdowns.
As you can see, premium models mostly fail to meet the expectations of their fans. Which is not surprising, however: even the luxury car industry has long since become disposable.
