Forbes names worst-made cars
There has always been a lot of debate concerning the responsibility one may feel to buy an American-made car rather than an import. This was true even before the recent highly publicized financial struggles of the Detroit “Big Three.” It seems logical to me that you should try to support American businesses whenever you can. But, when it come to buying a car, it’s not that simple.
Many of us are going to be paying for the car over five or even six years, so you need to be certain that the car you buy has some staying power. If you have a long commute every day, and you take the occasional road trip, you can easily put 100,000 miles on a car before it’s paid for. So it is important to select a car that has a reputation for being able to handle high mileage, and the fact is that American cars don’t last as long as many of their foreign counterparts.
Anyway, Forbes.com has evaluated the 2010 batch of cars based on reliability, value, and safety, and the worst seven cars on the road are all made by the “Big Three.” Here is the list of the worst vehicles on the road according to Forbes:
- Dodge Nitro
- Ford F-250
- Chevrolet Aveo
- Chevrolet Colorado
- Cadillac Escalade
- GMC Canyon
- Jeep Wrangler
