How can you resist buying an SUV called the Disco?
That's how Consumer Reports magazine refers to the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which is on its short list of "Worst Cars of 2015."
Other "worst cars" are the Chrysler 200, Kia Sedona and Lexus NX 200t/300h.
"Its engine seems flat-footed and the transmission often feels in the wrong gear," the magazine's editors say of the Disco.
It gets worse:
"Handling is lumbering, and the wheels ride as though made of concrete. The infotainment system seems dated."
The magazine's October 2015 issue notes, "Shoppers covet this eccentric English SUV brand for vanity reasons.... The Disco belongs to a family that includes the stately Range Rover."
The 2015 model started at $37,070.
