Cars Your Family Will Want To Avoid Buying At All Costs

Cars today are not what they used to be, with many truly awful models on the market just waiting to be criticized. This isn't about personal taste; it's a reality that some recent vehicles are far from impressive.

BMW 7 Series

The BMW 7 Series has lost its sporty edge with lackluster styling and a confusing lineup, including an inefficient hybrid model. Consumer Reports critiques its handling and high operating costs, while it also receives low marks for resale value from ALG and performance from J.D. Power.

Cadillac XTS

The full-size front-drive Cadillac XTS is seen as a guilty pleasure, falling short in today's luxury market. Consumer Reports lists it among the worst values, while J.D. Power and ALG give it low marks for initial quality, performance, and resale value.
