Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback
The Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback doesn’t just give the mirage of being cheap; it actually is. Despite having a very good fuel economy and being one of the cheapest cars you can get when on sale, the Mirage has been criticized for having very slow acceleration speeds, a rough and noisy engine, excessive road noise at highway speeds, and a low-buck interior.
This led to many owners returning the Mirage within the first year of having bought it, and to be fair; it’s preferable to spend a little bit more money on a far better car.
Ram Pickup 1500
The Ram Pickup 1500 is a magnificent truck, but unfortunately, this Dodge model is returned or sold by 4 percent of its owners within the first year.
In 2019, Dodge redesigned the Ram 1500, and it received mostly positive reviews. The new Ram 1500 has a quiet and comfortable cabin, but apparently, it lacks a lot of driver-assist features.
Mercedes-Benz GLA
The Mercedes Benz GLA is a luxurious automobile and one of the finest crossovers in the market. Featuring a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and sharp handling, the GLA is extremely fun to drive on winding roads. The GLA's small size makes it easy to navigate and makes it possible for the car to reach 34 mpg on the freeway.
Still, the GLA's stuffy back seats, small cargo area, high maintenance costs, and insurance have led 8.5 percent of owners to return this Mercedes within a year of buying it.
MINI Clubman
The Mini Cooper hatchback has a more stretched-out version called the Clubman. The first series of Clubmans had small suicide rear doors, with later models having full-size doors. Although many consider the Clubman to be a station wagon, it still looks a bit odd, like a badly stretched Mini Cooper.
The car's beautiful aesthetic and comfortable driving made it a favorite when it first came out. However, very high maintenance costs and poor automotive critic reviews led 11 percent of buyers to get rid of the Clubman within the first year of ownership.
Fiat
The Fiat is one of the world's easiest and funnest cars to drive, but it also has a very high return rate for the first year. Many owners claim that the car is unreliable.
Many buyers explain their decision of returning their Fiat within the first year by stating that, "As a brand, FIATs are plagued by the reputation of being unreliable, and the FIAT 500 has been a mainstay on unreliable vehicle lists by JD Power and Consumer Reports."
