People Carriers. They are never full so you know the driver doesn't like driving and thus is crap.
If your talking about the original cars that's mostly due to them having a combined production run of 144 years
Agree with most of them except the Proton Persona, I owned one of these and their bloody good, they were actually made for Proton by Mitsubishi using a Lancer chassis and various other parts from the colt/galaxy/mirage, they handle great and the 1.5 engine is offset by the light weight, the car had such a following in Malaysia that Mitsubishi made an "Evo" version of it!

Cars that are semi 'all terrain' and semi estate, such as the Volvo XC60.

Anyway cars that I loathe include:
Vauxhall Cavalier
Ford Escort
Old Corsa
Old Astra
BMW 3 Series Compacts.
Why?
The E46 325Ti is a superb little car, assuming you can deal with the headlights looking awful.
The E36 Compact *can* be an awesome barrel of fun too, but that does require a 2.5 or 2.8 engine swap into the 318Ti.
Both (E36 after engine swap) are relatively powerful, relatively small, RWD cars with decent driving dynamics.
Used BMWs that are driven by people who think they own a supercar and have bought some 'higher class' of motor. (instantly making them better than everyone else)
There is very few sporty BMWs, most are just tools to glide down motorway while pipe smoking
Ohh, and Suzuki Wagon Rs ....probably the worst bit of car design ever.

Gota be the Toyota Prius here, always driven by the kind of person that drives 40mph everywhere regardless of speed limits. gets pretty terrible MPG from the ones i've seen - around 45-50mpg which i thought was completely pointless :S
Also i'm getting b****y sick of almost getting run over by the damn things as you can't hear them coming

I hate the looks, I mean look at the back of the car! It all looks so.. squashed.
Audi's. All the gits who used to drive BMWs so badly moved over to Audi around 5 years ago. If I'm going to get cut up by someone, will almost certainly be by them.
Vauxhalls. I don't know what it is about them, but somehow they seem to consistently design cars that are deliberately blandified to the point of simply being white goods. Most hateful was the older Astra. Did everything "competently", so I can't call it a bad car as such. Problem was that it felt like every single element was built down to a cost. It was utterly hateful. Unfortunately the same logic appears to underpin almost all of their cars. I remember looking an Insipidnia at launch. Sure the outside is Audi-ish, but the inside is truly ghastly. I'd rather drive something genuinely crap that most Vauxhalls, at least crap cars tend to have character.

I loathe all cars that aren't £5K Mondeo's bought for cash.
It makes my blood boil so badly, I just have to ridicule anything else, there is no way you can enjoy anything else as the Mondeo is better in absolutely every way.
