Number 20: Infiniti. If you’re wondering how bad owning an Infiniti is, if you were stupid enough to purchase an Infiniti QX70 S Auto 3.0 diesel SUV in 2014 - early $90,000s on the road, you’ll trade it in today for about $27,000.Call it two-thirds of the capital investment up in smoke in four years.
Number 19: Citroen. Gorgeous design. Average reliability at best. Crap support, historically, although a new distributor might put a dent in that over time. But virtually zero sales - they don’t even manage to sell 50 Citroens a month.
Number 18: MINI. I know. I watched The Italian Job, too - both versions. I get it. But the novelty is going to wear off. Some poor bastard paid about $65,000 for the shitbox convertible MINI roadster John Cooper Works auto in 2014 and trades it in today for early $20s.
Number 17: Volvo. Don’t waste my time. Volvo is nowhere, commercially. It’s a joke. Styling is great; they drive OK, too. But reliability and support in Australia is shit. But resale is where Volvo really is number one in number twos. Imagine being the poor sap who bought the MY15 flagship XC60 T6 R-Design. More than $80k on the road back then down to about $30k for a trade-in today.
Number 16: Jaguar. In ‘Straya, reliability and support are crap - that’s the price of admission. Sales have plummeted since 2016, and resale is a disaster. But aside from that, great idea.
Number 15: Land Rover. It’s everything I said about Jaguar, with added off-road capability. You do not need a Land Rover in your life.
Number 14 - another joke brand: Peugeot. Sales, nowhere. Reliability, nowhere. Support, nowhere. Resale, nowhere. Beautiful styling, though. The fantasy that gets people across the line is: European quality. A step up.Let’s do two for one now:
12 and 13 - Nissan and Renault. When these companies merged, it was a bad deal for Nissan and a good deal for Renault. But, inevitably, Renault ‘tech’ metastasized into Nissan’s lineup. That was bad. Then the GFC hit, and Nissan suffered irreversible brain damage. And then there’s Nissan’s appalling Jatco CVT transmissions, which are the least reliable in the universe.
Number 11: Mercedes-Benz.Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz is the worst premium carmaker for customer support. They are the Antichrist at this. This company seems to think Australian Consumer Law is optional, or negotiable. Something those dicks are above.They are complete arseholes when you have a problem, and they will fight you every inch of the way - to the point of exhaustion.My strong advice is: Buy a BMW or a Lexus.Let’s do a mass extinction now:
6, 7, 8, 9 and 10: Everything from Fiat Chrysler. That means Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge. This company has the worst combination of poor reliability and shit support. They are truly terrible. Jeep - the biggest of Fiat Chrysler’s crap brands - managed to inflict more than 30,000 of its shitheaps on unsuspecting ‘Strayans in 2014. But word quickly got around. They sold only about 8000 in 2017. That has to be commercially unsustainable.Another mass extinction now:
Numbers 3, 4 and 5: Volkswagen, and related shitbox brands Audi and Skoda. This is the company decided it was OK to kill thousands of people prematurely by cheating emissions regulations in a massive, global criminal conspiracy.It is completely immoral and unimaginably wicked for a carmaker to do this. This was not an accident. It was a calculated criminal conspiracy.
Number two: Ford. Ford is in the worst shape of all time. Globally they are looking to cut $11 billion (US dollars) from the salary budget and more than $20 billion in total from operating costs.Markets like ours don’t make Ford any money. There are going to be major cuts. Ford’s engineering is reprehensibly bad, and the company also seems to take delight in not only breaching its consumer law obligations, but (reprehensibly enough) bending you over and profiteering from you, when you are up against it with one of their shit cars.
The number one brand that you should not buy, is Holden. Holden is on the fast track to failure. Poor quality, shit products, terrible support. It’s the unholy trinity of dice rolling with every purchase.But what really does it for me, with Holden, is trust. You cannot trust Holden. In 2012, Holden accepted a $275 million taxpayer-funded government rescue package. A parachute, stuffed with your money.They promised to invest $1bn in Australian manufacturing, to keep Australian manufacturing alive for at least a decade.The next year, they announced the closure of the factory. They kept the money. They didn’t make the investment. In January 2017 Holden quietly sent $150 million back to Detroit - as part of a bullshit balance sheet restructuring. Kinda says it all right there, don’t you think, about Holden’s purported commitment to Australia? Doing business with Holden is like joining Hannibal Lecter for dinner.

based on more than eight million real-world crashes across Australia and New Zealand, show that some popular used cars favoured by P-platers are potential death traps.
They include older versions of the Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta, Holden Barina, Mazda2, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Getz, Toyota Echo and Kia Rio.
Several small hatchbacks were rated “very poor” in the latest Used Car Safety Ratings Buyer’s Guide, scoring just one star out of five for safety.

Crash research names the least safe cars on the road

Crash test: old versus new cars

NEW road crash statistics show that many of our most vulnerable drivers are driving unsafe cars.
The findings, based on more than eight million real-world crashes across Australia and New Zealand, show that some popular used cars favoured by P-platers are potential death traps.
Several small hatchbacks were rated “very poor” in the latest Used Car Safety Ratings Buyer’s Guide, scoring just one star out of five for safety.
They include older versions of the Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta, Holden Barina, Mazda2, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Getz, Toyota Echo and Kia Rio.

Earlier versions (2002-2007) of the country’s best selling car, the Toyota Corolla, scored just two stars, while the rival Mitsubishi Lancer scored one.
At the other end of the scale, the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 from 2003-14 were rated five stars, as were later models of the Volkswagen Golf (13-16).
Of the cheaper mainstream cars, the Ford Focus (09-12), Hyundai i30 (07-12), Subaru Impreza (07-16) and Holden Cruze (09-16) scored four stars.
Luxury brands again topped the rankings for sedans, although the Ford Mondeo (07-15), Subaru Liberty/Outback (09-14), Volkswagen Passat (06-15) and Toyota Camry (11-16) each scored five stars.
Late models of the home grown Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore both scored five stars, although Commodores built prior to 2007 scored only two stars.
SUVs fared the best of any category — 20 scored five stars. Only one, the RAV4 from 1994-2000, scored a single star.
The guide ranks each model on the results of real-world crashes investigated by police.
The RACQ’s head of technical and safety policy, Steve Spalding, urged parents buying a used car for their children to use the guide to inform their choice.
“People should always buy the safest car they can afford. We’d recommend a four or five-star rating from the guide,” he said.
But one prominent safety expert, speaking on condition of anonymity, criticised some of the ratings in the guide.

Anomaly: The old school Ford F-Series scored five stars. Pic: Supplied. Source: Supplied
The 2001-2006 Ford F-Series has a five-star driver protection rating, despite its age and the fact it has no safety technology to avoid a crash.
The expert said some older vehicles without modern safety technology such as stability control were rated more highly than smaller, safer modern cars.
Overall SUVs, large sedans and utes score the highest ratings in the guide, but Spalding admits that doesn’t mean they are a safer option for inexperienced drivers.
He said that while smaller cars usually came off second-best against larger cars, utes and SUVs were often harder to handle than hatchbacks.
“An F-Series is clearly an inappropriate choice for an inexperienced driver,” he said.
Bigger vehicles also caused more damage to other road users in an accident and had a higher risk of rollover.
“Higher riding four-wheel-drives can be quite unstable and produce tragic outcomes in terms of spinal injuries from rollovers,” he said.
But he defended the recommendations made in the guide.
“It is a very credible source of research, it has been peer reviewed and covers a vast number of reported crashes,” he said.
He said there could be a ten-fold increase in the risk of serious injury and death between the best and worst used cars on the road.
Cars built before 2000 make up just 20 per cent of our carpark but are involved in 33 per cent of crashes.
Figures from the NSW Centre for Road Safety show that almost 80 per cent of drivers under 20 who died in a car crash were driving a car more than 10 years old.
