I love a Range Rover while it has its warranty…out of warranty it becomes a good decoration piece for your driveway😂

A Nissan with a CVT transmission. The Hondas and Toyotas are somewhat tolerable, but the Nissan ones are terrible.

I recently drove a brand new one. Worst rental ever I had. I can’t believe that a premium brand can develop a product that bad.

You are forgetting Mitsubishi.

I seriously wonder how well a Mitsubishi leases due to extremely low demand. I’ve never heard anyone say “I want a Mitsubishi”

I hated that thing with passion. It had this steering wheel vibrations that’s really hard to explain. It’s like you never can keep your car straight, huge dead zone right in a center, always need to hunt for when steering connects to wheels, constantly making steering corrections to keep car straight. I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life ever again.

Two weeks after I took delivery I brought it back to dealer fully believing that something is broken. It spent few weeks at dealers, they even called for corporate representative to investigate. Verdict: nothing is wrong with the car, that’s how it is built.

I suffered thru 27 months of pain and misery and got rid of it 9 months early, eating around 4 thousands in payments and disposition. Best day of my life, the day I got rid of it.

They don’t lease, they do a lot of financing.

@jeisensc has a cycle of Mitsubishi somewhere.

I love e46 but our relationship did not start well. My first was a 2000 323i and I lost reverse gear the next year I purchased it. It was not all the time but occasionally reverse simply did not engage. I drove it like that for months. Months later I sold it ( with full disclosure), I found out that it is a common issue in ZF transmission for particular years. There was even a dedicated website for it.

It was not my best work. For Mitsubishi, building cars is a hobby, like Subaru was 10-15 years ago for FHI. I would probably choose a Mitsubishi over the comparable Nissan.

If I won any Chrysler product on a gameshow AND didn’t have to pay the taxes, I still wouldn’t take it.

One guy at work won some award and got a free 2 year lease of a first gen VW Touareg, I heard he wanted to give it back before lease end. Maybe they are more reliable now.

Nissan Sentra and Versa. I am convinced a good driver never stepped into those cars. I became totally convinced when I hired someone who drove that car and the very next day she got into an accident where her Versa was totaled.

Hideous looking cars too!

They had popularity and a following, but that ship sailed 20 years ago, when they started on their current path to irrelevancy.

Now that they are part of Nissan, another winner, they won’t be around these parts much longer.

I feel like the above is self explanatory.

But I also have no urge to ever own the following, free or otherwise, because they’re just too flashy for me and I’d be paranoid driving them:
Bentley
Rolls Royce
Ferrari
McLaren
Lamborghini
