Buyer's Remorse: 9 New SUVs Owners Get Rid of in the First Year

Buying a new car can be an exciting experience. Once that initial excitement wears off, however, buyer’s remorse can sometimes hit hard. A fresh iSeeCars study seeks to analyze that heartbreak through a report that reveals the new SUVs most often sold, returned, or otherwise bailed out of within the first year of ownership.
The study looked at over 46 million new car and SUV sales to come up with the data for this list. and we are going to focus on the top 9 SUVs owners got rid of within the first year on this video.

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 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. That was the last time ever stepped foot in a Porsche dealer. I currently drive a 2010 RX350 with 220,000 miles and it’s still pretty tight.

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.

Seems like the luxury brands are only selling the badge at a high price and not a good product

[@gregmorelli1124]

I’ve had BMW’s MB, and Audi trucks and have a Discovery Sport now, not saying it’s so much better but I really like it, no issues almost 3 years, drives nice, looks cool, really good infotainment, I will get another.

[@HeavyHaul51]

I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited w/ 89,000 miles. Other then regular maintenance, brakes and rotors one time and tires I have had 0 problems. 3.6 V6 average 15mpg around town 23 - 24mpg highway. My plan is that this is my last vehicle. 73 retired putting less then 5k a year so I should be good to go.

The BMW X1 is super quiet, amazing. Good lease.

[@KevinMDowney]

Lexus, Toyota, Mazda. Only brands I will look at. Acura or Honda maybe, like if wife really wanted MDX or something.

[@DallasTX_1122]

How do you get rid of a lease within a year of ownership? Asking for myself. Wouldn’t it be very costly? I rolled in a pretty hefty amount of negative equity into the lease so likely I’m stuck 😢 I already know this was very dumb but I’m here now. Temptation really got the best of me because I don’t even really the car anymore.

I gave up my 2023 Land Rover Discovery Sport after one year but to get a 2023 Land Rover Discovery instead. Sport was small for me but both are good luxury cars imo!

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

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. I would expect 5-15% of the folks who drive these to get a new suv every year or two. You can get most of these for great prices if you buy them under 40k miles.

[@JSMCPN]

It's 2024...why is Land Rover still installing laggy turbo systems? Turbo-lag was mostly eliminated 15 years ago.

[@MarkovianMan]

Watch the video for reasons and more details, but for quick reference here's the list: 1. Land Rover Discovery Sport - 11.8% gotten rid of in 1st year 2. Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - 10.9% 3. BMW X1 - 10.4% 4. BMW X3 - 9% 5. Porsche Cayenne - 8.7% 6. Mercedes-Benz GLA - 8.5% 7. Mercedes-Benz G-Class - 8% 8. Nissan Rogue Sport - 8.1% 9. Porsche Macan - 6.3%

[@Really10801]

I don't want more "features" I want quality and reliability, why is that so difficult for the car companies ?

[@wasabiginger6993]

They wouldn't make any endless streams of money

[@calnelson8578]

Had a 23' explorer.....could not get rid of it quick enough

[@pmroveda]

How does one get rid of a newly leased car?

[@johnlindsay3820]

By way of balance…Latest Land Rover sales up 27% year on year - great model range - my wife certainly won’t be handing back her ‘24 hybrid evoque any time soon - her second evoque stylish vehicle - no problems to date and under warranty anyway.

[@treasurethetime2463]

And yet despite the internet, KZbin channels, survey after survey, there are still a long line of people queuing up to buy these notoriously problematic vehicles every year. Is the prestige or driving characteristics really that wonderful to throw away thousands of dollars?

[@jennys7735]

Just got a good lol when I heard 'Porsche Macan' and 'lower price' in the same sentence

[@velvetjones1856]

We bought a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Sport last year and its a perfect car for around town. Not great for freeway use as larger cars passing cause the car to become unstable. ar too light.

[@Greatdome99]

9:29: The "turbo lag" people complain about has nothing to do with the turbos. Blame it on engine computer settings, which delay full power from idle to manage fuel economy, emissions and traction control issues. Most all cars have them.

[@ph1785]

I have had 2 Porsche Cayenne , no problem s , I like to see the first year trade in of all manufacturers, i sure the stats are very similar, . People usually get rid of there cars in first year because if financial reasons.

[@shirke01]

Do you have a video 9 New SUVs Owners Get keep of in the First Year

[@davidparkin9017]

There must be an agreement among car companies. The best looking vehicles tend to be the least reliable and most expensive. The ones overloaded with technology give the most problems.

[@mirkostankovic132]

People who returned X3 probably bought X5 . The only problem is not enough loading space. X3 is a great and reliable car.

[@mrg-ghx8052]

RR Evoque and RR discovery sport have the same underpinnings and are built on the same production line.

[@odyssey37]

So there are people whom first act and only later start to think.

[@robgrune3284]

the way to own these is not to. they are made to be disposable in 4 yrs, to ensure a repeat business. they are for the wealthy segment, not the working class. they should be leased for 3 yrs, and the lease should have buyer security clauses in the event of break downs, time lost, inconvenience, replacements, etc. a lease may seem expensive, but it should be no more than 10% greater than what you would incur as owner. remember, your wasted time and frustrations have a high value too. in most countries, leases are tax deductible if used for business, so the financial cost is say 70-80% of the cash outlay.

[@jayschmahl9206]

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.

[@Genarii]

With so many luxury cars on the list, I'm thinking a lot of this has to do with people biting off more than they can chew rather than poor reliability (except for Land Rover and the Nissan Rogue, lol).
