I am happy to say I’ve never owned a Top 10 Worst Car Ever. James Derek Sapienza with the scoop from Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports’ road testing is one of the most thorough and punishing automotive tests in the world. Its in-depth and impartial methods separate the serious contenders from the also-rans, and gives an unvarnished view of a car’s real-world performance. Because of this, the magazine has the unique position of being able to make or break a new car in a way that no other publication has. On top of the report card-like rating system, everything from the quality of interior trim to a car’s handling in emergency situations can be summed up in their five-point rating system ranging from excellent to poor. On rare occasions, cars fall below even the lowest poor rating, earning a harsh and foreboding “Not Acceptable” rating.
