11 worst cars - Consumer Reports (3 Jeeps make the list)

Consumer Reports did an article on the 11 worst cars and SUVs, and it looks like they really tore into Jeep. They put 3 Jeeps on their list.


1 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
2 Hummer H3 (5 Cyl.)
3 Jeep Liberty Sport
4 Chevrolet Aveo5
5 Dodge Nitro SLT
6 Toyota FJ Cruiser
7 Toyota Yaris (base, manual transmission)
8 Suzuki Forenza (base)
9 Jeep Patriot Limited
10 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT (6-cyl.)
11 Mercury Grand Marquis



Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Consumer Reports: The 10 best cars
Score: 17 (out of 100)
Highs: Off-road ability
Lows: Ride, handling, braking, noise, fuel economy, fit and finish, visibility, frontseat comfort, access, reliability
Consumer Reports performs off-road testing at its Connecticut proving grounds, but off-road ability doesn't factor into the final scores.
That's part of the reason the Wrangler Unlimited gets the lowest score of any vehicle the magazine currently rates.
"We're rating these cars as most people would drive them in the SUV category," said Jake Fisher, a Consumer Reports auto test engineer.
While Jeep boasts that it sells to more owners who actually drive off-road than any other brand, the majority still spend most of their time on pavement.
A spokeswoman for Chrysler pointed out that the Jeep and Dodge vehicles in this list were fundamentally engineered for heavy-duty off-road use and the Jeeps, in particular, have been rated highly by other publications.


Jeep Liberty Sport
Consumer Reports: The 10 best cars
Score: 27
Highs: Off-road ability
Lows: Fuel economy, noise, agility, fit and finish
Like the Wrangler and H3, the Liberty is credited with good off-road capabilities, but that does not factor in to the final score.


Jeep Patriot Limited
Consumer Reports: The 10 best cars
Score: 42
Highs: Transmission, unusual interior features
Lows: Acceleration, engine noise, driving position, visibility, front-seat comfort, fit and finish
The Patriot is based on same car-based engineering underpinnings as the Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber. The taller Patriot can be purchased with option packages that make it off-road capable, however, while the Compass and Caliber are on-road only.
