2025 Vehicles to Steer Clear Of: Expert Insights on the Worst Cars, Trucks, and SUVs

Cadillac ELR

The first major drawback of this car is its steep price tag. Starting at $58,000 (before taxes), the ELR is far from budget-friendly. For that kind of money, you’d expect a showstopper, but instead, it looks like a rejected prototype from a low-budget sci-fi movie.

But the financial pain doesn’t stop there. The ELR also suffers from one of the worst depreciation rates on the market. According to Edmunds, it loses a staggering 50% of its value within just three years of ownership. That’s like setting fire to half your investment—hardly a smart move for any car buyer.
