Consumer Reports' owner satisfaction survey doesn't just cover the cars people enjoy. Here are the 10 cars owners reported as being the least satisfying.

Overall, the 2017 Trax should hit all the right spots for urban buyers that want something a bit more capacious than a subcompact sedan.
Dodge Grand Caravan
Believe it or not, Dodge still sells this thing, and all it takes is one quick look at the new Pacifica to see why this isn't very satisfying.
