Even a good car can have a lemon year. Maybe it was bad for the first two years, then good. Or, maybe it was good and one year all the transmissions went bad, and then the year after that was good again.
So, once you decide what car you want, use whatever resources you can -- Consumer Reports Car Issue is a good one, and there are probably online resources that somebody can talk about -- to find out if they've had any bad years. Then avoid "good deals" on cars from those years.
