Cars you loathe

[ganesh]

Chrysler PT Cruiser - Probably the ugliest car on the roads today, makes me feel a bit sick everytime I see one.

 

[whitecrook]

Toyota Prius - Everytime I see one I get an overwhelming urge to drop a gear or two and overtake them / accelerate past them just to help contribute a help them out with their carbon footprint.

I've probably only seen about 3 prius in my life. And that was when I was in London. They are extremely rare around these parts.

I second OAP box cars, especially the Vauxhall Agila and the Suzuki Wagon type R, slowest things on the roads.

 

[peterattheboro]

The new Mini and Citroen Saxo.

 

[snowdog]

Most older tiny city cars, ESPECIALLY the box shaped granny cars.

Can't stand cars which are short ( front to back), thin (left to right) yet tall ( bottom to top).

Dislike most new ''retro'' cars too, fiat 500, beetle and the new mini. ( I like the classic mini though).

Generally I also dislike it when people spend a gazillion on a new car, and then buy the most basic rubbish model without anything, simply don't understand why one would want to spend 6.000+ € on a car without even basics like aircon, cruise control ( fair enough if it's a city shopping cart but I know of people who have traded modern ( 2002 ish) well specced cars for a base model Toyota Aygo, etc... I can understand companies buying vans without a/c to save a couple of thousand on a fleet, but private buyers, WTF... So basically loathe new cars without any kind of options.

But most of all:
Voiturettes or 45kph cars, they are the worst, either driven by an old granny who will hold up a whole queue of normal cars behind her or some 16 year old acting cool ( you know, the look at you shaprly seat back lean back type) behind the wheel, I've had 16 year olds trying to race me in them, and they are ALWAYS holding up a massive line of traffic .

Toyota Prius - Everytime I see one I get an overwhelming urge to drop a gear or two and overtake them / accelerate past them just to help contribute a help them out with their carbon footprint.

To be honest, I wouldn't really mind having one of those, nice and silent in the city and quite nice tech, but obviously if I wanted a hybrid I'd rather choose something like a Lexus ls600h, which has a little bit of petrol powahhhh too... I don't give a hoot about carbon dioxides though .

Standard - this doesn't have an alibi

Most certainly this. Who designed that... I want answers.

Also, the majority of new shape Mini's I see...

Its the car that every rich girl gets for their first car at college and are completely oblivious to the mistake they have made by spending 8 grand on it.

Citroen C1 because it has the same tyres I have on my push bike.

Fiat 500 for much the same reason as the mini, as well as it being more attractive than an Aston Martin DB9 to a woman...

Saxo / 106 because of the people, well... The vermin that drive them.

I could go on and on.

This, along with that green 'thing' that gord posted.

I quite like the Fiat 500 and the new Minis

Any poor performing car that has been in the most basic ways of saying it, "chavved up".

qashqai- end of argument every chav who can lay their hands on theirs or someone elses disability living allowance is getting on of these on motability atm so their everywhere and tend to be driven by nuggets.

spoke to someone who works for nissan the other day and they have a 3 month back order atm on the buggers. sooner the government step in and stop letting every tom dick or harry have dla for all sorts of crap the better, neighbour gets dla for a bad back ffs another for epilepsey, bear in mind thats 2 brand new motors the government is leasing every 3 years just within 4 houses of me. for people who could and should be at work grrrr

BMWs: Often driven by the worst type of driver.
Rover 400s: driven by Mr flat cap, where 25MPH is the new 60 on any road

not so true these days, it seems audis are the favoured weapon of choice for the nugget brigade

 

[Von Smallhausen]

A Class Merc.

They are truly awful.

 

[Moeks]

Well there are a few cars I have a particular dislike for, but some of my most disliked are;

Dawoo/Chevrolet Matiz
Proton Persona (persona! ...what person? ..urrgg)
Vauxhall Agila MK1
Vauxhall Vectra MK1
Smart Car
Rover CityRover
All Ford Escorts except the MK1, Mk2 and the Cosworth.
And a good number of the cars British Leyland made.

You mean nailing a park bench to the roof as a spoiler ?

 

[danza]

-The entire (current) Peugeot range
-The 'new' shape VW Beetle
-Anything ever made by Perodua
-Old Rovers driven by old people. And Hondas (especially Civics).

Whoa whoa WHOA

Hold on a minute


The Multipla is AWESOME

Who's with me here?

[paradigm]

Financed Used Hyundai i10's.

They really get my goat.

 

[iaind]

The only car I've driven recently that I thought was loathable was the new Ka

 

[adam cool dude]

Poverty Spec.

Billy basic BMW 318's (or similar premium brands) being driven by old people who could have had a fully equipped mondeo for the same price. The same as people in 10/09 Euro/Asia Boxes that they wasted ten grand on. I feel sorry for my kids as they are going to have a real rubbish choice in the second hand market.

 

[Trifid]

'fashion accessories' lol?

The beetle, the mini, and the fiat 500 are 3 of the most successful cars ever, and are design classics!

I think that title is reserved for the Ford F150...

-The entire (current) Peugeot range
-The 'new' shape VW Beetle
-Anything ever made by Perodua
-Old Rovers driven by old people. And Hondas (especially Civics).

I was going to add, I hope that doesn't include the Type R, but then I looked at your sig.
