WASHINGTON — The best cars on the market? That’s a tough question — and one for another day. This list is about the worst rides on the road.

Consumer Reports’ list of the Bottom Picks for 2016 compiles the worst cars in 10 categories, according to an overall score that combines the results of the magazine’s road test with reliability, owner satisfaction and safety, including the results of crash tests conducted by the government and the insurance industry.

The magazine warns that a lot of these cars are seriously marked down, since they’re headed for replacement this year. Don’t fall for it, they advise: “falling for a smooth sales pitch and a swell cash-back offer could lead you to suffering years of buyer’s remorse.”
