2025 Ford Ranger
The new Ranger looks incredibly tough, but the drive just isn’t that exciting. It feels bumpy on normal streets, and the steering feels way heavier than expected. Yes, it moves well enough, but it’s not the most lively ride you’ll get from Ford.
2025 Chevrolet Blazer
Chevy’s Blazer is one of the sportier cars on the market. But, sadly, the base trims of the Blazer don’t deliver. The engine feels slow, the steering feels loose, and the ride never feels sharp. It looks exciting on the outside, sure, but it’s more style than fun.
2025 Ford Transit Connect
The Transit Connect is a great car for hauling stuff, but it’s not the kind of drive you’d tell your friends about. The ride feels stiff, and the engine feels tired. It’s a work van - and it drives like one. So while it gets the job done, it never feels fun or smooth.
2025 Jeep Renegade
The new Jeep Renegade looks super cute and adventurous. The drive, however, is anything but exciting, and its small engine makes it feel slow. It’s fine for town driving, but it doesn’t inspire or bring drivers any joy on the road.
2025 Chevrolet Suburban
People can’t get enough of the Chevy Suburban. But the 2025 model is massive, and you feel that every second you drive. This makes turning and acceleration slow, and it takes forever to stop. Driving it feels more like managing a bus than driving an SUV.
2025 Chrysler Voyager
The Voyager is built for fleets, so fun definitely wasn’t part of the design. It’s basically a stripped-down minivan that just does basic travel. Nothing about it makes driving enjoyable, and the engine feels too weak to make it exciting.
2025 Buick Encore GX
Buick’s 2025 Encore GX might look modern and clean, but its performance is dull. It has a tiny engine that struggles when you need power, and the steering feels light and disconnected. Yes, it drives fine, but it never feels exciting or fun.
2025 Ford Super Duty F-350
The Ford F-350 is huge and heavy. It’s made for towing, not fun, so the steering feels a bit slow and the ride feels stiff. Simply put, the whole truck feels more like a tank. If you want a bit of excitement behind the wheel, this isn’t the truck for it.
2025 Jeep Compass
The 2025 Compass still struggles with power and handling. Its engine is weak, especially on hills, and the steering feels numb. It looks nice, but the drive doesn’t match the looks in this case, and many drivers prefer a bit more fun from a Jeep.
2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Silverados drive like a work truck. There, we said it. The steering feels heaving, the suspension feels stiff, and the handling feels way too clumsy in tight spots. It has power, sure, but it doesn’t feel like something you drive for fun.
2025 Ford Expedition
There’s no doubt that the Ford Expedition has power, but the drive isn’t exciting at all. It feels huge and slow to respond. The body leans in corners, and the steering feels soft. Yes, it’s great for families, but not great for anyone who wants a lively drive.
2025 Chevrolet Bolt EUV
Chevy’s new Bolt EUV is one of the most efficient cars on the road. But, like other cars on our list, it’s just not fun to drive. It’s perfect for saving money on fuel, but the acceleration is mild for an EV. This car won’t make you smile on a twisty road.
2025 Ford Escape
It’s a sad day when you discover the 2025 Ford Escape feels soft and sleepy rather than fun and exciting. The ride is smooth, but it’s not engaging, and the steering feels way too vague. It’s fine for daily drives, but not for much more.
2024 Jeep Wagoneer
Jeep’s 2024 Wagoneer is massive and luxurious. But it drives like a boat. The steering is slow, the handling is soft, and it feels heavy in every move. It’s great if you want a comfortable car, but not that great if you’re looking for excitement behind the wheel.
2025 Chevrolet Tahoe
The Tahoe has both space and presence, but not much fun. It feels bulky in turns, and the steering feels slow. As a whole, the SUV leans a lot. Sure, it’s smooth on the highway, but that’s about it. It’s built for size and not driving enjoyment.
2025 Ford Maverick
The base trim of the Ford Maverick isn’t exciting at all. It’s super slow to accelerate, and the steering feels light. It might be practical, but it doesn’t give you that “fun little truck” feeling that people hope for when they buy it.
2025 Chrysler Pacifica
The Pacifica is a great minivan - but only in higher trims. The base model feels, well, dull. The engine doesn’t feel very strong, the handling is soft, and the steering has very little feedback. This is just another minivan that’s great for families, but not fun.
2025 Jeep Cherokee
The 2025 Cherokee has a comfortable interior, but that’s about it. The drive feels heavy and slow, the base engine lacks any power, and the transmission feels a bit unsure at times. The steering also isn’t sharp, so it never feels sporty. Simply put, it's just okay.
2025 Ford Edge
The Edge is one of the smoother rides, but it’s very forgettable to drive. The suspension feels soft, and the base engine doesn’t feel strong. It’s comfortable, but it doesn’t make you want to take the long and scenic way home.
2025 Chevrolet Equinox
Chevy’s 2025 Equinox is fine for everyday use, but it’s just fine and not fun. The ride is calm, but never exciting. And that base engine really struggles when you need quick power. It’s a grocery-getter, not a driver’s SUV.
2025 Ford Super Duty F-250
The F-250 is a beast, and it drives like one. It’s tall, stiff, and heavy. Every turn feels wide, and every bump feels bigger than it should. It’s great for hauling and towing, not for anyone looking for driving fun.
2025 Chevrolet Trax
The Trax is affordable, but not exciting. The engine feels weak, the steering feels light, and the ride can feel bouncy. It’s a simple point-A-to-point-B car. It’s practical, but it doesn’t offer any real fun, and drivers are always left wanting more.
2025 Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer might have size, but it doesn’t feel playful. Why? Because the base engine feels slow, and the handling isn’t sharp. Yes, it’s the kind of vehicle that gets the job done, but it’s not the SUV you choose for fun weekend drives.
2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
The Grand Wagoneer is one of the more fancy and comfortable Jeeps on the road. But drivers say it’s not exciting to drive. It’s heavy, soft, and slow to react. The steering feels too disconnected, and the whole thing feels like a luxury couch on wheels.
2025 Chevrolet Malibu
The new Chevy Malibu looks clean and simple. But the drive still feels bland, and that base engine feels really weak. It might be calm and quiet, but there’s no spark to it, and too many owners say it’s just basic transportation.
2025 Ford Transit Van
Ford’s Transit Van is built for hauling and not for fun. It’s tall, bouncy, and loud. Under the hood, the engine feels strained when it’s fully loaded. It’s perfect for work and transporting gear, but not something you look forward to driving.
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The Grand Cherokee L is a big SUV with lots of space, but the base trim feels sluggish. The engine works hard, the steering feels soft, and the handling leans in corners. It’s a great car for comfort, but not so much for excitement.
2025 Chevrolet Traverse
The Traverse is huge and steady, but not fun. The steering feels loose, the suspension leans, and the engine struggles when it's fully loaded. This is one of those cars that gets families where they need to go, but the drive feels flat.
2025 Ford F-150
The F-150 is one of America’s greatest trucks - but only the higher trims. The base version of the 2025 F-150 feels plain, and its small engine doesn’t feel lively. The soft suspension makes it floaty, but not very exciting to drive.
2025 Chevrolet Silverado HD
Everyone loves the Silverado, but maybe not the 2025 Silverado HD. It’s strong and ready for work, but fun isn’t part of the deal. Instead, it’s stiff, huge, and slow to turn. The steering feels heavy, and the ride can be rough. It’s really only built for towing.
2025 Dodge Durango
The Durango is a bit more fun in high trims. But the base models? They just feel slow and heavy. The steering is soft, and the suspension leans a lot in corners. It's fine for daily use, but it doesn’t bring the excitement of previous models of the Durango.
2025 Ford EcoSport
The EcoSport is small, but that doesn’t make it fun. The ride is way too bumpy, the engine feels weak, and the weird side-opening rear door is just awkward. The 2025 model, in particular, is just basic transportation with no real spark.
2025 Chevrolet Express Van
Chevy’s Express is basically a big metal box on wheels. It’s loud, stiff, and slow. The steering feels heavy, and the handling feels super clumsy. This is the van to buy if you want to haul gear, but not for enjoying the drive.
2025 Nissan Murano
The Murano looks stylish, but the drive is a bit sleepy. The steering feels soft, the handling feels loose, and the engine doesn’t feel eager when you need quick power. It’s the kind of SUV that gets you places without making you feel anything.
2025 Toyota Grand Highlander
Toyota’s Grand Highlander is huge and practical, but it’s in no way fun or exciting to drive. It rides comfortably, but the engine feels slow in such a big body. You can haul the family, but it’s not great for anyone who really enjoys driving.
