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.
Nissan Frontier
The Nissan Frontier is a great light-duty pickup truck, with its only shortcoming being that it is not really apt as a working vehicle, as stated by many owners.
This is the main reason why so many buyers end up trading or selling their Nissan Frontier after just a year of purchasing it. Frontier owners have claimed that "the compact Frontier has the same shortcomings for hauling and towing while also having the worst fuel economy in its class."
BMW X1
The turbocharged, four-cylinder engine BMW X1 is a fine piece of machinery. It is considered to be one of BMW's best and smallest crossovers, with smooth handling that makes it incredibly enjoyable to drive.
Any car manufactured by BMW will be an excellent one, but the X1 does have a few flaws that make around 10 percent of its owners say goodbye to it within a year of ownership. Owners have reported that the X1 gets quite loud on a freeway, and the driving gets a little difficult when you hit a rough road.
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.
Kia Cadenza
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.
