6. Ford Fiesta

Starting MSRP: $15,490

The Ford Fiesta is a compact vehicle admired for its fuel efficiency and agile handling, making it a popular option for urban driving. While its features sound wonderful, there’s another, less-appealing way to get your heart beating: it’s one of the least reliable cars on the market.

According to experts, the Ford Fiesta has a track record of exhibiting transmission issues and electrical problems, so it may be one to avoid. A recent survey showed that 34% of Fiestas went wrong in 2022, with common issues including the engine and suspension.

Only 30% were fixed within a day, and 40% of owners waited over a week for the return of their Fiesta.

By the way, make sure you have an emergency roadside kit in your car for any unexpected issues.

  1. Common theme here is automatic transmissions of any form are garbage. It is a constant weak spot for many brands and models. For years. I don’t know why people insist on buying automatics and putting up with expensive repairs, down time and short vehicle life. It’s time to go back to manual transmissions. People need to be a little less lazy. But if you absolutely insist to have your $tarbucks$ beverage or text, then an automatic provides a little easier (but not safer) way to multitask while driving. But the definition of insanity is repeating something over and over expecting a different result. The news here is continue to expect problems and large repair costs for choosing an automatic transmission. And don’t get me started on EV’s that don’t have transmissions. That’s another foolish choice.
