Back in 2014 I owned a certified 2011 Range Rover sport supercharged. I owned it for 18 months. Within the first 12 months it needed new set of 20 inch tires, brakes, a new water pump and a new supercharger. I started heading a clunk in the front end and was told the noise were bushings not covered under warranty. All this occurred in under 35k on the ODO. I liked the vehicle but it was the most problematic vehicle I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot of high end cars. I didn’t even mention the electrical gremlins…

I own a 2017 Rogue Sport. I knew from the start it wasn’t a Sporty type vehicle, but just a smaller version of the full size Rogue. Which is the reason I bought it. And people talk about lack of power. I’m not sure what people want, it’s a 4 cylinder. If they want power buy a Corvette. ( I’ve owned a couple of those too. ) It has power for me to get on the interstate without any problems. And the ability to pass if needed. It has 174k on it and other than regular maintenance, I’ve put an alternator on it. I’m very pleased with it.

[@edwardwhite4015]

I purchased a 2022 Nissan Rouge Sport because I wanted a small SUV for city driving, but I began to notice that every time I drove it my ears would begin to ring. I did some research and found out the ringing was caused by the whiny CVT transmission. I also found out that in order for the CVT to last more than 60,000 miles you had to drive like a 90 year old grandmother. After 4 months I traded the Rouge Sport for a 2023 Mazda CX-30 which is a fantastic vehicle.

My wife and once stopped in at a Porsche dealer back in the mid 2000’s to check out a used Cayenne. I was driving a 2000 Lexus RX300 at the time and looking to possibly upgrade. I was shocked at how poorly the Cayenne had held up with relatively modest mileage. The interior looked shoddy and dated, and the drive line was whining. When I mentioned to the Porsche salesman that I thought there was a problem in the driveline he became a real ass. I left thinking what a piece of crap the Cayenne was given its’ price.

The things is, these European vehicles feel much more luxurious on the inside, and luxury wears away after a year or two. They also are susceptible to a lot of leasing.

[@nickgallegos430]

Good information but sometimes surveys like these have other reasons that contribute to the trade ins just like when a study says people who drink Diet Coke are more likely to gain wait it doesn’t factor in the fact that people who drink Diet Coke may be generally more unhealthy or eat more fast food and that’s why they drink Diet Coke. In this case these suv s probably have higher returns probably because they are luxury vehicles and people with more money can afford to trade vehicles at a whim when they get bored. I know because I live in slightly more upscale neighborhood and although I drive and f150 I’ve had for 5 years and my wife a Hyundai neighbors rarely keep cars for more than year and a half.

[@leolok2632]

There is a class of people whose passion is after new model cars, like change for the latest fashion wear. Probably nothing to do with the high maintenance cost, features or performance. They just get rid of their one year “old” car for a new toy, no matter what.

Wait what!! The #8 Nissan Rogue Sport know also as Nissan Qashqai is one of the most famous and popular cars in UK and Australia They are reliable and cheap to own and maintain I give you that they are under powered on the highway which makes sense in a big country such the US but when you can’t go over 100km/hr because of speed cams they’re fantastic city cars.

[@maggie0417]

I have a 2020 evoque and I love it. It’s fun to drive. It’s been towed for an engine issue once only, luckily it was under warranty. I’m looking into what to get next as I’d like a larger SUV that won’t break the bank outside of a warranty!

[@tonyfair487]

A barely 4 year old car and it's "only" been towed once. My car was over 8 years old, towed, and fixed within a couple hours. Three years and a 50k (260k total) later, and it hasn't needed a towed since.

Just buy whatever the hell you like, take care of it and you will be fine. My 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has over 132,000 miles on it and no complaints. By the way, I have had far fewer problems with my Jeep than my co-worker's wife's RAV4. I have been looking at the new Compass, Hornet, and CX50. I'm in the mood for something new, but I love my Jeep. I think I'll wait.

Notice nearly all models listed are high priced cars. The reality is that people over spend, and get in over their heads.

[@andycole5957]

Basically, don't buy the cheapest offering from any brand, you pay 90% as much as the next model up, but you get a model the maker cut a bunch of corners to get the price down.

[@GraemeForbes-e5s]

Is the fact the Macan is top of the list the fact that there is a waiting list to get one and so people are offloading at a premium

[@noboringcars1227]

I had a Mercedes GLA45 which I loved and hated as it had a tendency to stall after fill ups. Wasn’t every time but it was a lot and it was never fixed. I got a regular GLA250 which I really liked. Then I brought it in for a A (odd year) service at $267/hr for a whopping $933.00 for an annual service. If I wanted new wipers it was about $1050.00. At that moment I decided not only to dump the GLA but Mercedes, forever. Frankly, I loved German cars (had BMW’s and Mini’s) but I am tired of stingy options spread out over many packages. Go get most any Hyundai Limited trim and you get 360 cameras, adaptive cruise, cross traffic alert, ventilated seats and more. A German car may not even be able to option all that or it will be $25k in options. I just tried to option some Porsche Macans as I like the size and 4400lb towing, but I quickly went insane trying to find a complete set of tech options basic to virtually all middle class brands. You can adaptive cruise $1440.00 or Surround view, another $1200.00 but they will have a $4000.00 wheel upgrade and $525 for seat logos. You will spend $25,000.00 to get the 4 or $5,000.00 you wanted in overpriced options. Yes, they are faster and you can take them on the track but the interiors are dull (generally all black) and nothing special on the tech which you get on a Hyundai or Toyota by going up one trim for say $3k.

[@ArthurPaiementGaygroundzero]

The reason they get rid of them in the first year is because they are “last year’s model” and people who buy most of these don’t want to be seen driving last year’s model.

It’s never been in the shop a single day for anything other than regular maintenance.

So many of these problem ridden vehicles do have very nice and appealing designed body lines. Same could be said of the Jeep SUV lineup, nice styles but not great reliability. It's always smart to go to the owner website forums when considering a lease or purchase.
