Want to buy a good car? First of all, you would need to know which cars are the most unreliable in order to avoid buying them. This is because sometimes the cars are cheap, but their quality is not very good. If you value quality more than the price, this article will be useful for you. So let’s review the list of top 10 diesel unreliable cars in 2018 (inkoopautos.com):
1Mercedes-Benz GLC
Price: $49,105
Trouble spots: Steering/suspension, brakes, power equipment
The front seats are very supportive and comfortable, but the rear is rather snug. Automatic braking is standard. However, other safety gear like cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring, comes up in the confusing option packages.
2Chevrolet Camaro
Price: $47,020
Trouble spots: In-car electronics, transmission (minor), drive system
The biggest drawback of this car is its 6.2-liter V8 from the Corvette because all utilize an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. The rear-seat room is too tight. The MyLink infotainment is easy-to-use, but the low dash vents can freeze your hand if it’s on a shifter.
3Jaguar F-Pace
Price: $53,895
Trouble spots: In-car electronics, drive system, noises and leaks
The F-Pace is fast, but the omnipresent engine drone can become tiring quickly. The ride of the car is choppy and stiff despite good technical characteristics. Also, the infotainment system uses the fussy and slow touchscreen.
4GMC Acadia
Price: $51,585
Trouble spots: Power equipment, in-car electronics, drive system
Such luxury features as a power sunroof shade, four-way adjustable lumbar, and auto-up windows are missing in this version of a car. However, the ride is composed and steady, and also, handling is responsive.
5Fiat 500
Price: $18,600-$26,050
Trouble spots: Power equipment, brakes, in-car electronics
Thanks to free-revving engine, 500’s alert handling, and crisp-shifting manual, the car is engaging to drive. However, the engine lacks low-end thrust. The cabin is noisy and the ride is choppy in all versions.
6Ford Focus
Price: $20,485-$40,990
Trouble spots: Drive system, transmission
It is fun to drive in this car, but the driving position is rather narrow in comparison with newer competitors. A 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo is slow. Besides, it returns same 29 mpg overall as a 2.0-liter. Also, at low speeds the transmission is jerky.
7Ford Fiesta
Price: $17,795-$24,985
Trouble spots: Climate system, transmission
The equipment levels are one of the best of the class, but the rear seat is too cramped. The six-speed automated manual can stumble the car in stop-and-go traffic. However, the car has agile handling, which makes it comfortable to drive.
8Volvo XC90
Price: $56,805
Trouble spots: Power equipment, in-car electronics, electrical system
The handling is commendable. Nevertheless, the ride is stiff. The interior is plush, quiet, and modern, but an unintuitive touch-screen infotainment system, which is frustrating to use, controls the phone, audio, and navigation functions.
9Cadillac Escalade
Price: $87,360
Trouble spots: Transmission (major), power equipment, climate system
The ride of this car is extremely stiff. Also, it is not that roomy inside. The seats are not comfortable and cramped. Anyway, the advantage of this model is in its working ability.
10Tesla Model X
Price: $110,700
Trouble spots: Paint and trim, body hardware, climate system
This model is not really practical. It has rear doors, which open up and out of the way, but this is a very time-consuming process. However, it handles well and is very quick.
