The worst cars in the world in 2014 - ranking

Rating of the worst cars - it would seem that no manufacturer would like to see their products in such a list. And what about the owners who cannot get enough of their “iron horse”, and then it turns out that in some England or in the USA your model is considered the worst?

All this is very subjective, but the Americans and the British are very fond of putting everything on the shelves, and various agencies and authoritative publications conduct surveys among the population to find out which car models the owners have the most complaints about.

So, for example, in 2012, a list was compiled of five models that scored the most negative ratings. What is strange, some of these brands are popular with us and belong to the business and premium classes.

So, the worst car of 2012 was Honda Civic. This car is also available in the body of a three-door hatchback and a four-door sedan, and we have a lot of them on the roads, but the meticulous Americans did not like it:

• not the best exterior and interior design;
• soundproofing;
• uncontrollability.

In second place is Jeep Cherokeewhere Americans don't like:

• voracity;
• poor finish;
• noise isolation and handling.

Got on this list and hybrid Toyota PriusC. Owners are confused by poor dynamic performance and stiff suspension. Strangely, the quality of the Prius is considered one of the most reliable cars, although in this case the survey was conducted by the Germans.

In fourth place among the worst cars is Dodge grand caravan. And all because it consumes too much fuel, interior trim is cheap and electrical problems often occur.

The best among the worst was the SUV Ford Edge. American motorists did not like this car because of the voracity, stiff suspension and unreliability.

If you look at the rating for 2014 from another authoritative publication of America Consumer Reports, then here you can also find the names of our popular models.

So, Chevrolet Spark entered the top three of the worst compact hatchbacks, along with it, Smart (much more compact) and Scion iQ appeared on the “shameful” pedestal.

Mitsubishi Lancer shares a place in the top three worst C-class sedans along with Scion tC and Dodge Dart.

Rђ RІRѕS, Mitsubishi Outlander fell into the category of the worst crossovers along with Chrysler products - the Jeep Patriot, Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Compass.

Volvo XC90 unfortunate enough to fall into the category of the worst luxury SUVs. These laurels are shared with him by Lincoln MKH and Range Rover Evoque.

There is also an interesting rating recently compiled in England by Auto Express magazine. This rating shows in general the worst models that were produced in the 1990s - 2000s. Well, as usual, many of these cars drive quite successfully on our roads.

The worst car in this time period was recognized Rover CityRover - a compact hatchback, which began production in 2003 and ended in 2005 due to disgusting build quality. The car was supposed to become the European analogue of the Indian folk car Tata Indica, but, unfortunately, she did not succeed.

Daihatsu Muv ranked second on the list. The British did not like the Japanese minivan because of its appearance, but only drivers in England probably thought so, because the Japanese concern Daihatsu continues to produce this model to this day, but only for Asian markets.

The British did not like another Japanese car - Mitsubishi carisma. You can still see this car on our roads, just like the Ford Mondeo of the first or second generation, which Karisma is very similar to.

Got on this list and two-door two-seater SUV - Suzuki X-90. The double crossover, which was predicted to have a great future, was produced for only a few years from 1993 to 1997.

The British included in the top five worst cars Renault Avantime. If you look at the photo of this three-door coupe, you can see that it has an unusual design, which is why it was produced only from 2001 to 2003.

If the inhabitants of Foggy Albion visited our car dealerships, then this list would probably change radically.

This article does not claim to be the truth of the first instance, but is only a review of popular ratings.
