10 New Cars to Avoid Buying
October 3, 2013
Let's face it -- not every new car is going to be a winner. That's why Forbes recently pulled together a list of the 10 new cars they advise car buyers to steer away from. On the list are vehicles like the Dodge Journey, which Forbes says despite an interior makeover and new V-6 engine, is still lacking in refinement and reliability.
Also on the list is the Nissan Versa Hatchback, which Forbes puts on the list due to below-average quality and reliability, plus high injury-claim frequency.
However, it's always important to remember that what one may consider the wrong car for them, another will purchase and be in love with for many years. So make sure to do your research, take a test drive, and always make the best decision for your particular needs.
