The Kia Cadenza is just another entry in the fairly unpopular large sedans category. Its V6 is lacking in power, and the ride suffers from boring handling that takes away the fun and excitement of driving. Not to mention the car is not at all reliable.
With a starting price of $33,000, it just wasn’t worth the maintenance costs, so owners started ditching this Kia within the first year of having bought it.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
Land Rover is a known car brand, especially when it comes to adventurous driving off the beaten path. And their Discovery Sport model is a favorite for people that are looking to spend a fair amount of time going on adventures. The powerful engine and off-road features make the Land Rover Discovery Sport an excellent choice for explorers.
Unfortunately, even though this luxurious, powerful SUV is practical for off-road and everyday driving alike, the expensive maintenance costs and reliability problems cause almost 12 percent of buyers to say goodbye within the first 11 months of purchase.
Porsche Cayenne
The Porsche Cayenne is Porsche's gorgeous full-size SUV, and it is widely popular among drivers. Not to mention Porsche's biggest income maker. The Cayenne comes in a variety of trims and engines and is considered one of the best SUVs in the world.
Unfortunately, despite its unique luxury and amazing speed, the Cayenne is very costly to own and maintain. This causes nearly 9 percent of buyers to get rid of the car just a year after purchasing it.
Nissan Rogue Sport
Even though its name suggests otherwise, the Nissan Rogue isn't very sporty. On the other hand, it is an extremely comfortable SUV with ample space and cozy seats. But that's what it is - a comfy SUV for everyday driving.
The Rogue Sport has a 141 horsepower engine and a CVT transmission that make the car quite slow and under-performing. This has unfortunately led buyers to ditch the Rogue within a year after purchasing it.
Acura ILX
While being a comfortable car to drive and having reliable and easy handling, the Acura ILX is primarily based on a last-generation Honda Civic, which makes it a very underwhelming car.
While the idea of a luxury sedan in a small car sounds good on paper, it doesn’t live up in its execution, reminding us of a small and messy apartment that was temporarily tidied by violently stuffing everything into the closets. Obviously, owners didn't take long to figure this out, and many of them got rid of the car within a year of having purchased it.
