The turbocharged, four-cylinder engine BMW X1 is a fine piece of machinery. It is considered to be one of BMW’s best and smallest crossovers, with smooth handling that makes it incredibly enjoyable to drive.
Any car manufactured by BMW will be an excellent one, but the X1 does have a few flaws that make around 10 percent of its owners say goodbye to it within a year of ownership. Owners have reported that the X1 gets quite loud on a freeway, and the driving gets a little difficult when you hit a rough road.
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.
Nissan Frontier
The Nissan Frontier is a great light-duty pickup truck, with its only shortcoming being that it is not really apt as a working vehicle, as stated by many owners.
This is the main reason why so many buyers end up trading or selling their Nissan Frontier after just a year of purchasing it. Frontier owners have claimed that "the compact Frontier has the same shortcomings for hauling and towing while also having the worst fuel economy in its class."
Land Rover Discovery Sport
Land Rover is a known car brand, especially when it comes to adventurous driving off the beaten path. And their Discovery Sport model is a favorite for people that are looking to spend a fair amount of time going on adventures. The powerful engine and off-road features make the Land Rover Discovery Sport an excellent choice for explorers.
Unfortunately, even though this luxurious, powerful SUV is practical for off-road and everyday driving alike, the expensive maintenance costs and reliability problems cause almost 12 percent of buyers to say goodbye within the first 11 months of purchase.
Porsche Cayenne
The Porsche Cayenne is Porsche's gorgeous full-size SUV, and it is widely popular among drivers. Not to mention Porsche's biggest income maker. The Cayenne comes in a variety of trims and engines and is considered one of the best SUVs in the world.
Unfortunately, despite its unique luxury and amazing speed, the Cayenne is very costly to own and maintain. This causes nearly 9 percent of buyers to get rid of the car just a year after purchasing it.
