Fiat and Jeep Named “Worst” Car Brands

[cabnfvr]

The worst handling, harshest riding, twitchy steering, top heavy, non-aerodynamic box just set another sales record last month. That's four months of record sales in a row for the Wrangler.
As Nkyzr2 ike posted above, Consumer Who?

Go drive a vehicle not on the CR list, then drive the #2 worst vehicle.

Come back once you realize CR is full of poopy.

Also the 2nd worst vehicle, has the HIGHEST resale Value of anything, another fact that makes CR full of poopy.

funny because the alpha suv just kicked ass over (Vs mercedes and porsche) on the folks that can't drive a stick ( for those of youwho eren't here when they did the intial reviews that would be Car and driver)

many publications get compensated for their less than honest reviews!! the jeep jeeps as i call them are not for everyone but very popular. my local garage repairs lots of other jeep products but few jeep-jeeps!!! being a chrysler product + now FCA RUST was an issue, easily seen on RAM trucks more than other brands!! their uniqueness + that they change little allowing a LOT of aftermarket support is a plus, sure they ride rough especially older models but the shorter wheelbase has its good points as well, they are not cadillacs but more truck like!!

Consumer Reports blows and always has. I don't trust the skill set of reviewers who may be simultaneously testing condoms, canned corn, and vehicles in any given week.

yeah you got that right

Jeep Wrangler highest resale value means nothing either...

Prius owners :cwl:

Which one? probably not those with a Black Coffee Rifle Prius

Just curious, who even pays attention to Consumer Reports

I do, and never follow their advice. I’ve had 4 Land Rovers

These Consumer Reports are so dumb...look what made the list last year:

It may be surprising to see a Toyota being named in a lowest-rated category, but that’s exactly what the Tacoma has been honored with. As the worst compact pickup, the Tacoma has a stiff ride, ponderous handling, loud cabin and awkward driving position. Although the modern connectivity features are a welcome upgrade as well as the new high-tech safety features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, they’re not enough to overcome the truck’s shortcomings.

I'm not a Toyota guy but this is so lame. The Tacoma and the Wrangler have the highest resale value of any car (Porsche 911's notwithstanding).

I'm a consumer, and I report my JLUR is awesome! Can I have a mag now?

Seriously though, this is tailored to the general public, They aren't buying Wranglers and Hellcats, nor are they likely to (read: NERDS); They're the people looking for whatever Sedans/ Overgrown mini-van on steroids Toyota/ Honda specialize in. I never paid attention to them when it comes to vehicles, I always dig for the technical questions and answers on weak points, fixes, longevity, etc.

I don't understand how their averages work:

(5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+4+5+5+5+5+5+5)/17 = 2?

That's nice
