If you want the answer to any one of these questions, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll take a look at the Saab and some of its most reliable models. We’ll also look at the least reliable cars and some of the most reported issues. Using all of this info, you’ll have more than enough to decide if a Saab is right for you.

When looking at the most consistently reliable vehicles over the last decade, Mazda, Toyota, and Lexus continue to produce cars that always position them at the top of our annual auto reliability brand rankings. This year, Honda joined them in the top five along with Buick, which have seen substantial improvements in their overall rankings. Honda’s increase is due to continuous improvements and specific exceptional models in its range, which offset the Odyssey minivans and Passport SUV’s persistent dependability issues.

Maseratis are luxury vehicles that can be incredibly expensive to purchase and maintain. While they look beautiful and drive like a dream, they’re not very reliable cars.

This can be an intimidating task, but thankfully CoPilot is here to walk you through whether or not Maseratis are reliable and how to get the most bang for your buck when buying one.

In 1973, the moonroof with glass joined the party. The big panoramic sunroofs of today are a type of moonroof that has a large glass area. Luxury vehicles and SUVs are where you’ll find these most often.

The Acadia offers three rows of people hauling and good cargo capacity as well. Of course, shoppers also consider Acadia ground clearance as well. Let’s explore what clearance means for GMC’s mid-size SUV and its competitors.

Dodge Durango Command Vehicle by Lee Cannon — CC BY-SA 2.0 The Durango is a beast on traditional roads, the track, and trails and off-road environments. It might not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when thinking of driving up the mountains or river-like conditions, but the Durango is well equipped to handle the elements. There are currently three different models (up from just two last year) and while the Durango’s ground clearance has varied slightly over recent years, it has been consistently over 8 inches and all three of the 2021 models sit at 8.

2018 Subaru WRX by EurovisionNim — CC BY-SA 4.0 Subaru has a loyal following, great safety features and technology, and a natural connection to wilderness and outdoor venturing. The WRX’s ground clearance is a surprisingly low 4.9 inches, and less than many of its competitors. While it may have the recognition to easily drive through tough weather conditions, some car buyers may look twice at that number for wintery and off-road conditions.

2019 Toyota Corolla by Vauxford — CC BY-SA 4.0 Sports cars and sedans sometimes struggle due to their low ground clearance. If you’re going up a driveway or coasting over a speed bump, it’s not uncommon to scrape the bottom of your car. This is something best avoided, which is why we’re highlighting the Toyota Corolla ground clearance. Thanks to its above-average height, the kind of scenarios mentioned above won’t be a hindrance.

Nissan Murano 350XV by TTTNIS — CC0 1.0 The Murano is one of six total SUV models that Nissan currently manufactures alongside the Kicks, Rogue and Rogue sport, Pathfinder, and Armada and fits in the midsize crossover class. The Murano’s ground clearance is just under 7 inches at 6.9, and is right in the middle of the pack for midsize SUVs. While the Murano is a great option to handle urban areas and offers a smooth and comfortable ride, you shouldn’t try to get too crazy with it off the beaten path.

2015 Audi Q3 - First Drive by The NRMA — CC BY 2.0 When you’re in the market for a new car, one of the things you may read about in a vehicle’s specs is its ground clearance. Whether you plan to take your new car camping, or just need to know if you can park on your steep driveway, researching ground clearance is an important part of the car buying process.
