Consumer Reports test many cars in 2015 and they think these are the worst:
Toyota Yaris: Yaris remains a slow, noisy, and tinny subcompact with a choppy ride and an awkward driving position.
Scion tC: Question: When is a sporty car not sporty at all? Answer: When it’s the Scion tC.
The Scion tC’s stiff suspension and heavy steering shouldn’t fool you into thinking this is a performance machine. Handling is entirely humdrum, and even smooth roads produce a jarring ride.
Mitsubishi i-MiEV: Some electric cars have impressed us (Tesla Model S, Ford Focus Electric, Nissan Leaf), but Mitsubishi’s lackluster effort somehow feels short-circuited in contrast. It’s not even because its meager 59-mile range and a six-hour recharge time. It’s that the ride is horrendous, acceleration is painfully slow, and the i-MiEV comes with an antiquated interior with fit and finish that feels decidedly third-world cheap.
Mitsubishi Mirage: The Mirage is powered by a small, vibration-prone three-cylinder engine. Handling is so clumsy, it feels scary. To lure customers, Mitsubishi primed the pump with a rather impressive list of standard features. But the car is far too slow and noisy, even for a cheap subcompact.
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited: Meet the lowest-ranked vehicle, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The Wrangler is one of those rare vehicles that basically bombs in our tests, but our subscribers are wild about it. Driven daily on “normal” roads, the ride is punishing, handling is reluctant, and it drinks fuel like kids devour juice pouches, returning just 17 mpg overall.
