The Least Reliable Cars in America

Most Americans decide to buy a new car because it means they will have less mechanical trouble to worry about, especially within the first few years of ownership. But according to Consumer Report Magazine, some cars are less reliable than others, even when they are purchased brand new. Before considering buying one of these new rides, take a look at what Consumer Reports has to say about their reliability and make sure the pros outweigh the cons.

Fiat 500L

The Italian brand vehicle can frequently be found at the bottom of many review lists. Consumer Reports commented explicitly on the Fiat 500L’s interior electronics and automatic transmission issues. It received an unsatisfactory safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, making it a questionable purchase for any concerned auto owner. The Fiat 500L has also received poor reviews from other auto experts, such as Car and Driver as well as the United States News and World Report.
