List of worst cars to buy for 2007

And now our list of worst cars to buy for 2007 (by make and model):

BMW 7 Series and X5 Chevy Astro, Blazer, Express, S-10 with 4WD, Venture, Chrysler Town & Country (with all wheel drive) Dodge Grand Caravan (all wheel drive) GMC Jimmy, Sonoma 4WD, Safari, Savana

Infiniti QX56Jaguar S and X-types Jeep Grand Cherokee Kia Sedona (the 2006 is acceptable, if you must buy a Kia) Land Rover Discovery

Lincoln Aviator and Navigator Mercedes-Benz CLK, M- and S-Classes, SL Nissan Armada, Titan Oldsmobile Bravada, Cutlass and Silhouette

Pontiac Aztek, Trans Sport, Volkswagen Cabrio, Jetta Turbo, Jetta V6, Beetle, Touareg

That’s our politically correct list. But the fact is, in a million years we’ll never buy: any British car (Land Rover, Jaguar, Mini-Cooper, Lotus, etc.); any German car (Volkswagon, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, etc.) or any French car. Have you ever sat in the back seat of a BMW? If you’re more than five feet tall, there’s no headroom. A lot of these cars have become associated with the rich–you’ve made if you drive a Mercedes. But I’ve never met anyone who any of these who was really happy with it. We know all about the numbers of repairs per vehicle, but we’ve own a lot of these cars, or had family member or close friends who owned them. Please don’t make the same mistake these people did. Buy yourself a nice Honda or Toyota.
