Whether its buyer’s remorse, high ownership costs, reliability issues or maybe the reality it just didn’t live up to the hype, a surprising amount of new car buyers part ways with their purchase within the first year of ownership. Thats's according to a recent study conducted by iSeeCars. The automotive research firm analyzed over 46 million car transactions to determine the number of new cars that were subsequently resold as used within the initial year. We have compiled the top 9 of those vehicles on this video.

this is a good list. it works both ways, because you can buy these cars second-hand for cheap while still on warranty. I know someone who was able to take advantage of the fast depreciation on a used 2016 land rover discovery sport with the optional ford ecoboost 2.0T available on the 1st gen. purchased just a few years old for 1/3 of the price it was selling for new. it's proven to be just as reliable as any ford edge or ford escape.

I bought an Evoque PHEV last August. I’d driven Land Rovers for over 2 decades. My Evoque was a nightmare. The list of issues over a 6 month period was extensive and I eventually had to endure the rejection process which took a further 2 months. The finance company supported my rejection and I got a large proportion of my money back plus some compensation. I now drive a Kia. Never did I imagine I’d never buy another Land Rover but they are now so unreliable. When they came to collect the car on the back of a trailer the driver from the collection company said “yup, another Evoque - we have to collect more of these than any other vehicle”.

BMW factor that into their finance approval. At a stage they knew they were producing more new cars than they could sell, but were most efficient at those production numbers.. They also knew that the market for second hand BMW's was larger than they were meeting. So BMW Finance was born, & approved purchases to people who they knew wouldn't be able to afford the new cars for too long before they returned them, and then BMW could move them into the second hand market.

The handling wasn't as good and the engine wasn't as peppy, but it was more acceptable with the $12,000 lower purchase price. After her X1 was rearended and totaled 6 months later, she leased a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. She rated it much higher in all categories than the BMW X1.

I bought my 2020 BMW330i in 2021. The original owner was a bigger guy and didn't find the seat comfortable for himself. I have no issues with that. Actually, aside from some quirks with the entertainment package, I LOVE my 330i. Effortless acceleration. Great handling. Smart styling. Excellent gas mileage. After almost 50,000 miles, the only work I've had to do to the care are oil changes (which I do myself) and new tires. I'm not sure what the "high maintenance costs" are. Consumer Reports gives it a 3 out of 5 for owner satisfaction but, in the breakdown, I only see one "3" (the rest are 4s and 5s) and that is for value. I can tell you that a year after I got mine, it was worth more than what I paid. I have no skin in the game. I am just really satisfied with my 330i so I was surprised to see it near the top of this list.

Turbo engines run hotter than Naturally Aspirated engines. The wear factor is higher just by this fact. The cooling system maintenance is critical & any overheating problem needs an immediate shut down. Any extended over heating issues is a major engine problem extending to many parts. Overall turbos will not last as long & need more care to keep them going. All for the sake of lighter weight to get the better fuel mileage. This advantage disappears quickly when the vehicle is driven more aggressively. Most turbo engine have lag in the throttle response too. Not what you want in icy or slippery conditions.

Selling your car in the first year is probably the best way to increase cost of ownership exponentially. I had my Jag 2.5l V6 S Type, 25kGBP new, for 14yrs. Add 3k to extend warranty and a single 3k suspension fix at 10yrs and it was 2.3kgbp per year to own ( assumes all cars need servicing, insurance, road tax and fuel and that this is similar for all cars of similar size and luxury). Ditto my Evoque 2.2l diesel, 37k new 10years old and a 3k repair at 8yr old. 4kgbp a year plus normal running costs. The 4k will drop as length of ownership grows. My XE, 47kgbp new, i have owned for 5 years ( new cost included a 5 service plan) so cost is currently 9.4k per year and dropping. When the Evowue and XE rust away of become unecconomic to keep then and only then is it new car time. At current anual milage i expect another 10yrs on the Evoque and 15 on the XE. Never understood anyone selling a car after a year. I did consider upgrading my S Type at 18months to a 3l S Type but was not willing to accept a 10kgbp loss of value on trade in just to increase high speed cuising performance, only used on a European holiday every 3 to 4 yrs. Add to that paying cash or 0% finance deals since savings grow if you dont make car payments every single month of your life and it is madness to trade a car in.

I called Toyo of Houston and took the car in, now it has 360 miles on it. They started talking about fixing it and drying it out etc . . I said no way, I want a brand NEW car, I would not settle for less. They fought hard and refused my small request. I am absolutely in the right. The entire dash, computers, carpets and front seats were soaked through. I finally got to the top manager and he thought fixing it was the way to go. It was now a used car with 360 miles, LOL. FInally in the end I didnt have time to fight them as I worked a lot then. So I cancelled my insurance and took the Corolla 4 wheeling by the railroad yard. I flew over tracks and bumps and ditches and I destroyed the car underneath, the body looked fine but I would say the car was now totaled. Then I parked it in Toyota's new car lot and left it there. I may have lost my $1,500. down payment, but they lost an entire car and lost a customer for life.

I've owned two Versa's. The older models were good. The newer CVT ones are pieces of junk. My first Versa, a 2009, I had little to no problems with. I bought that one used btw. I then traded it in for a new one, which I ended up regretting. I had nothing but problems with it from day one. Thankfully I took out an extended two year, bumper to bumper, guarantee at an extra $2000 + 15% tax (Canada) on the sticker price. Let's just say I got more than my money's worth on that extra $2k I paid. The engine in those cars are fine, it's everything else that is junk. I even had my rear wiper motor crap out on me three years in, at roughly 60k. My present 2011 Toyota Matrix is on its 13th year and the rear wiper motor is still the original. Also those Jatco CVT trans are known pieces of junk within the automotive industry. That's not my opinion btw. The old Versa's that didn't have CVTs were a million times better. Versa's, the old and new, are well known to have faulty coil springs that snap. I had it happen to both of mine. Drive that car like you are in a porcelain box. The coil springs are thin and cheap. It's very expensive when you have to repair one! If yours hasn't broke yet just be patient. It eventually will. Overall, it was a fun car to drive and I loved them for that reason. They weren't too small nor too big. A lot of cargo space and easy to park in tight spaces. I will never buy another one, let alone another Nissan. Datsun has taken over more of the company so it's less of a Japanese car now as it is a French one. I don't see the newer CVTs lasting nearly as long as the older models did. Oh, and the CVT that I bought new was a rattling piece of junk. I had to return about a dozen times to the dealership to have all the rattles within the interior trim resolved. One of the rattles was coming from a passenger airbag that had been installed improperly by the factory. They had to replace the entire airbag. Once again, thankfully everything was under a bumper to bumper guarantee. If not that car would have bankrupted me!

@@badinstinctsyoutube7108 in reality I’m not sure why you insist that driving with two hands on the wheel is something low skilled drivers do? Over 90% of the time we’re driving on roads that are relatively straight, that’s a perfect time for two hands on the wheel. And if you’re taking a 90 degree corner you’re not using 625hp so you’ve slowed down to negotiate the corner. However, get on the gas too soon or too much and one hand on the wheel isn’t going to save you from crashing your vehicle. But on a highway where things happen much faster and inputs on the steering wheel need to be much smaller, having two hands on the wheel gives you more control. Your X5 is a nice ride and it goes fast and thus loosing control with higher HP vehicles is not uncommon. We’ve all seen the videos of Supercar Fails. What do you think is the leading cause of these crashes? Lack of car control - incorrect inputs on the throttle and inputs on the steering wheel. When your vehicle’s rear-end breaks loose (power-slide) you need two hands on the wheel to steer out of that. Your SUV has steering wheel paddle shifters so two hands are needed. There’s also the airbag which is unforgiving if hands are not properly placed on the steering wheel. You made reference to F1. You will never see in car camera footage of drivers with one hand on the wheel going down the straights or steering around corners? I’ve never seen a race car driver palming the steering wheel around corners nor driving with a limp wrist draped over the top of the wheel. Car control requires two hands on the wheel. There’s a lot of online info about driving with two hands on the wheel. People can read about it, or ignore it. That’s a personal choice. Good discussion. Have a great day.

I’ve owned a Mercedes in the past, we bought new and although we kept it more than a year, we got rid of it within 2,000 miles of the warranty running out! Dealer service was wonderful, especially when issues were repaired under warranty. Seems like every season there was some $1,000 widget or another giving up and needed replacing. Then as soon as the warranty expired, the ignition module on the left side of the V6 engine quit, requiring replacement, that includes the three coils, wires and spark plugs, at a not very reasonable $200 each, that required 2 spark plugs each due to dual ignition, at $11.60 each! But there was a factory sponsored special pricing “deal”, for both sides at $1,200, parts and labor! That basically included the plugs and 1hr labor. That was it! I wasn’t going to wait for the next malady to catch up to us. I traded that ML 320 in the next business day! At the local Chevy dealer, in on what I wanted in the first place but was her turn for choice! So I traded in a 2002 ML 320, we paid $40k for, that got us $25k in 2005 on a nice new 2005 Chevy Avalanche LS, 4x4, that listed for $38k with no options. That was a wonderful SUV/Truck for 6 years and 90,000 trouble free miles, that finally needed brakes and second set of tires. So we traded that in on a 2011 Silverado Ext Cab 4x4 Z71, we got during an “ Employee Family Discount Price “, promotion, that came to $30,200! But got $25,000 in trade for the Avalanche! That Silverado was fantastic trouble free fun and adventure, till we trade that in on a 2019 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4 WT V6, we still have today with 41,000 trouble free miles to this day. With the plans on trading for a full size Van, to build into a Van/Camper. I like the Chevy Express 2500, but the 4x4 conversion is 12k! That’s still less than an AWD Ford Transit.
