CR used car shitlist
-
How did you do Oppo?
-
The 4Runner is safe, but my wife's Grand Cherokee is on there.
No Jaguars or Land Rovers on the list! Impressive! /s
-
Chevy/Ford/GMC/Jeep: just don't.
-
I find it odd that the 15-16 Chevy Trax is listed, but not the 15-16 Buick Encore. They are mechanically the same car.

This list has NO cred, not to be trusted!
-
@shoop Chevy SS: too few to determine...
What was wrong with the '13 86 twins?
-
@trivet Is the infotainment system different?
-
@davesaddiction Valve spring recall. Then when the dealer does the repair they screw up the cylinder head oil passages making your motor grenade.
-
By what merit?
-
So nobody should buy a full size truck? That's like 90% of new car sales these days.
-
@highlander Tundra!
-
@highlander Correct.
/s I live in the city and they all get used as sedans
-

Probably depends on the trim level - I would assume the same unit would be available in the upper trim levels of both units.
But other than some minor cosmetics, they are identical. My daughter and SIL have a '15 Encore (mid trim AWD) and it's a nice little car.
-
@highlander Ah, that seems familiar now. 2014+ unaffected?
-
I had a 2012 Focus but those issues were with the DCG and I had the manual.
Everything else I've owned (except the 2015 Golf TDI) is too old to be on that list XD
-
@shoop Odd that the Passport is there but not the Pilot, when they're literally the same car. I wonder what criteria they're factoring into this?
-
@davesaddiction I think the recall was 2013 only.
-
@highlander I'm wondering if they factor depreciation into this. Pickups have the lowest depreciation of any segment, so they're not as good a used buy.

Maybe the different transmissions played a role.
-
@just-jeepin They're the same MSRP despite the Passport being smaller, so maybe they're just not considered as good a deal
-
All good.
The 2018 Grand Caravan is not on the list.
Neither are either of my Plymouths.... -
@shoop Well 2 out of 3. My DD the 2015 Suburban, and my wife's 2015 Pathfinder. Only the 1988 BMW 535i escapes the list, clearly I should drive it more!
-
2012 TSX is nowhere to be seen. I've been spared!
-
@davesaddiction Pretty much. I take CR with a grain of salt. Their main readers and respondents are non car people who will rate faulty infotainment issues as equally severely as major mechanical problems.
-
@shoop I'd like to point out there are no JLR vehicles on that list. So far, in the case of my 2017 Jag XE the ownership experience of a car built by blokes has been uneventful.
