I'm trying to think of cars I 'loathe', there's loads I wouldn't buy but 'loathe' hmmmm at a push Daewoo Matiz only becasue of the cheapness
You mean the Nissan Goat?
I'd like to offer the Ssong-Yang Rodius. My eyes, my eyes!
Please don't hotlink. Thanks.
I got one as a hire car in northern ireland and had a blast in it. It was rubbish but the coast roads there were great so I pretended to myself it was an uber rally car and chucked it around. Had fun, got back to the airport and handed the keys in and it resumed being rubbish. Still, couldn't say I loathed it.

I'd also like to add the Nissan Quash Quai, I had one as a courtesy car and I was absolutely amazed at how awful it was, it manages to skip and jump over the slightest imperfection in the road and its so uncomfortable yet on stilts with massive tyres, how is that even possible
And of course how could I forget, my most hated car of all time that I have actually owned, the utterly pointless Nissan 200SX. I will never understand the point of a 200BHP car that even in the slightest bit bit of damp you cant put put your foot down for fear of death, what an utter turd of a car

The new Beetle. It deserves special hell treatment.
See, the new Mini. It's got none of the characteristics of the old mini except the name and a body shape that looks similar if you get drunk and squint a bit but it's a well made car, designed and put together from ground up. But the new Beetle? Nope. Let's just take a Golf, put a curvy bodyshell on it that makes it functionally inferior to the standard Golf and pretend it's a worthy successor to a design classic.
Yuk.

one excellent characteristic of the original is the limited interior space. New MINI manages to recreate that very convincingly (while somehow being miles bigger on the outside)
For me, it has to be either an X5, a Q7 or probably the worst - the Porsche Cayenne.
The single most loathsome cars on the road. Usually driven by people who cannot drive, yet think they deserve to be king of the road because of their huge hunk of metal.
The other thing I loathe is the new Range Rovers. They've made a car that has the brightest stop lights in the world, and placed them at eye level. Plus, because they're automatic, and the fat lazy rich bloke in front cant be bothered to take it out of drive, if you're in traffic behind one - you will be blind.

I like all of those cars
...and how do you know what the drivers may or may not think anyway?
The Vauxhall Corsa B, not for the usual reasons though - I just can't stant the way they look - especially considering most of the early ones are now total sheds with manky rust and horrid plastic bumpers *shudders*

Anything taller than it is wide, with the wheels planted on the extreme corners, just look hideous driving down the road, like they've been squashed between two lorrys.

I agree, silly, pointless, vulgar car.
I've been in one but not driven. Like the mini, it's an awful pile of over designed tackyness inside and out. The styling is dreadful and I can't say it was a particularly memorable journey in terms of driving. Probably down to being driven by some utterly dreadful blonde rich girl who's lack of driving ability made me incandescent.
It really is amusing how much status your car gives you on the road. King of the road until you park beside them and out steps some WAG wannabe or a weedy little nerd. I refuse to be bullied on the road.
