Starting off our countdown at number 10 is the Buick Encore. This aging crossover might not be the encore you were hoping for, with a hit-or-miss reliability record and a value proposition that falls flat. If you're in the market for a small SUV, there are better acts in town like the Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Honda HRV, or Toyota Corolla Cross.

Rolling in at number 9 is the Hyundai Kona, a car that shares more than just a name with the Celtics. Its 2-liter four-cylinder engine has hit a sour note with recalls for faulty piston rings, leading to oil consumption, engine failures, and even fiery performances. While Hyundai claims to have tuned up for 2023, it might be wise to check out other small crossovers like the Mazda CX-30, Corolla Cross, or HRV.

Revving up to number 8 is the Ford Bronco. Despite the off-road hype, this SUV takes a tumble with engine failures, especially in the 2.7-liter turbo EcoBoost department. The National Institute for Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported valve train issues that could leave your Bronco breathless. For a smoother ride, consider something like a Toyota 4Runner.

Taking the seventh spot is the Jeep Renegade, a small crossover that's aging faster than fine wine. With below-average reliability and a penchant for pricey repairs, it might be a rocky road for Renegade owners. If you're set on a Jeep, the Wrangler might be a better off-road companion with higher resale value.

Swooping in at number 6 is the Lincoln Aviator, a luxurious ride that might leave your wallet feeling lighter than air. Despite its stylish exterior, the Aviator falls short in performance and reliability, making it a high-priced disappointment. Look for alternatives like the Acura MDX for a more satisfying journey.

Cruising to number 5 is the Mini Countryman, a small crossover with a big price tag. While its distinctive appearance might turn heads, its below-average reliability could have you turning away. For a reliable small crossover, explore other options that won't burn a hole in your pocket.

Gliding into number 4 is the Mercedes GLE, a luxury SUV that might leave you questioning the cost of sophistication. Known for issues beyond its warranty period, the GLE's track record isn't exactly gold-star material. Consider alternatives like the Lexus RX 350 for a smoother ride in the luxury lane.

Racing to number 3 is the Jaguar E-PACE, a small luxury SUV that's struggling to keep up. With poor value for money and a reputation for below-average reliability, the E-PACE might not be the winning choice. Explore alternatives like the Porsche Macan or Acura RDX for a more reliable and cost-effective option.

Revving up to number 2 is the Land Rover Range, a longtime player in the luxury SUV game. Despite its longstanding presence, the Range Rover is crowned as the most unreliable SUV on the market. With below-average build quality and a hefty price tag for repairs, it might be time to explore other high-end luxury SUV options.

And taking the top spot at number 1 is the GMC Acadia, a model that might make you second-guess your SUV dreams. With low scores in performance, handling, and ride quality, the Acadia falls short of the competition. Add in reliability issues, a cramped cabin, and an outdated design, and you've got an SUV that's more of a letdown than a lift-off.

So there you have it, the top 10 SUVs to avoid in 2023. Buckle up, stay informed, and may your road ahead be smooth and trouble-free. Until next time, drive safe and take care!
