14. Mini Cooper
Mini’s appealing appearance aside, it falls short in terms of reliability, earning a dismal rating of 30/100 from Consumer Reports. To put this in perspective, the median score for all cars they’ve ranked is 60, with many Japanese models scoring above 80.
Another drawback of the Mini is its cramped interior, along with reported issues with power steering and engine overheating, as noted by Edmunds. Despite being a non-luxury compact car, its maintenance costs are on par with those of midsize luxury vehicles.
