15 New Cars To Avoid
1. BMW 7 Series

Consumer Reports takes the 7 Series to task for being “a ponderous, technology-laden vehicle with ungainly handling,” and is included in the publication’s lists of lowest-scoring cars, worst overall values and most expensive operating costs in its class. Not to pile on, but it also gets a rock-bottom resale value rating from ALG and a below average performance score from J.D. Power.

5. Jeep Compas
6. Jeep Patriot
7. Jeep Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited

Though some might argue the iconic Wrangler and its four-door Wrangler Unlimited version are among the best-performing off-road vehicles, they suffer from limited passenger comfort, harsh and erratic ride and handling abilities and excessive wind noise at higher speeds.

And in other news, water is wet, fish prefer water, and don't do particularly well walking on land.

Consumer Reports always bags on the Wrangler. What amazes me is that anyone even bothers, after years of repeated horrible reviews, to put any value in it.

That being said, the Patriot is an unrepentant piece of garbage, honestly by far the worst vehicle I have ever spent time in.
