Jaguars are one of those cars that are so stunning they could be bought simply to be admired, as many collectors do. Their cars are one-of-a-kind, which is why their version of a four-door sedan, the Jaguar XF, is a very extraordinary vehicle.
Shockingly, this reputable automaker didn’t have such a big success with its XF model. Owners reported it was performing poorly, had small quality issues when it came to the car’s interior, wasn’t very reliable, and had an extremely high maintenance cost. All of these issues had 9 percent of buyers returning the car within the first year.
Buick Enclave
The 2019 Buick Enclave is a car that didn't move up too much with the times since it's basically a copy of the 2018 model with some slight updates. Consumer Reports decided to name this one as another victim of their “least reliable” category.
Luckily for the Enclave, the 2018 model, which it's based on, did have many benefits, from a quiet and comfortable interior that fits up to seven passengers up to massive cargo space and some really cool tech features. However, as far as 2019 was concerned, bad reliability was enough to get this model returned by several buyers within the first year.
Toyota Tacoma
Another Toyota pickup truck that is returned by 5 percent of owners within the first year is the Tacoma model. A light-duty pickup truck, the Tacoma just doesn't give drivers the experience they're looking for in a high-performing truck.
To increase sales and thwart return rates, Toyota is planning to release a new Tacoma model in 2020. We'll have to wait and see if it's as good as they claim.
Citroen Pluriel
Originally marketed as a fun car for young people, the 2002 Citroen Pluriel was a great car that provided everything you'd ever dreamed of. That is, besides having to manually remove and assemble the roof on your own.
This nuisance, along with average performance, had buyers returning or trading the Pluriel within the first year.
Honda Ridgeline
Honda's Ridgeline model was the company's first attempt at finding its way into the pickup market. It was a great-looking pickup that followed Honda’s build to the letter and was instantly recognizable as part of the automaker's lineup. Despite all the love, effort, and cash that went into the making of the Ridgeline, it just couldn't live up to its expectations and received extremely poor reviews.
One reviewer commented: “The Ridgeline can’t really do what most people who like trucks need it to do. Sure, some homeowners and weekend warriors may actually need a 10,000-lb towing capacity, but the Honda Ridgeline is probably just right for most.” It was also called the “anti-truck” by another reviewer.
