Buying a car is a big investment and one that you hope will last.

But some cars are more prone to breaking down than others and could have you regretting picking up the keys.

But Consumer Reports’ 2016 Annual Auto Survey attempts to help drivers buy the right vehicle.

It collected data on more than 500,000 cars and assessed them based on 17 “trouble areas,” from minor problems, such as squeaky brakes, broken interior trim to more major issues like out-of-warranty transmission repairs or trouble with four-wheel-drive systems.

Click through the gallery to see Consumer Reports most and least reliable cars this year.

All figures in U.S. dollars.
