Thinking of leasing a car but don’t mind a few unexpected detours to the repair shop? While most buyers hunt for bulletproof reliability, some lease shoppers are more concerned with monthly payments than long-term durability—and that opens the door to vehicles with, let’s say, “personality.” Whether you’re chasing style over substance or just curious about what not to commit to long-term, here are some of the least reliable cars you can lease right now, according to recent reliability ratings and owner complaints.
2018 Maserati Ghibli
The fastest depreciating sedan is also one of the least reliable.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a fashionably moody Italian sports sedan without the long-term commitment, the 2018 Maserati Ghibli might be your leaseable soulmate. With a Ferrari-derived engine and head-turning design, it looks like a six-figure car—but under the surface, things get messy. Reliability scores have consistently landed below average, with owners reporting everything from glitchy infotainment systems to finicky electronics and costly brake wear. Maintenance isn’t cheap either, so unless you’re leasing it purely for the image and plan to return it the moment the warranty expires, expect to spend more time with your mechanic than you’d like.
