Manufacturers you dont like.

anything korean or taiwan etc. i have no time for them at all.

dislike modern french stuff apart from clio 200

indifferent to vauxhall

love vw for their bulletproofness

like bmw to an extent, but the msport badges and hordes of diesels really make me want to yak. i think THEY are the iphone brand of car
 
Mini, irrational but i just don't like mini

Old or new one? If it's the new one I'd understand but my objection is that it's using the Mini name and then seemingly pumped an old style Mini full of growth hormones to leave this weirdly oversized thing in its place. The Mini Clubman and Countryman are even worse - I'd struggle to call the dislike irrational though, there's just no good reason for them that I can see when other cars do the same thing better/cheaper/look better etc. I'm sure they're perfectly nice cars and fun to drive but if they were named something else I doubt I'd have any problems with them. You can lump the new Beetle into the same bracket as well but I was never very taken with the old one so I care less about it.

Sssssssssang-Yong, because of the Rhombus or whatever the hell it's called.

Rodius? The one that looks as if the designers for the front and back were never introduced.

My irrational dislike would be most Fords - they're generally perfectly good cars, some are good to drive, they're mostly reasonably priced and so on yet I've got absolutely no desire to own one. Maybe it's that they are comparatively so common or maybe it's just that I'm aware they are generally decent and it's sheer cussedness but aside from a couple of the rarities I don't think I could bring myself to buy one (and I couldn't afford the rarities anyway).
 
My irrational dislike would be most Fords.

Oooh, that's a good one too, but for me the justification is the smell that most Fords seem to have. No idea what causes it, but it makes me want to heave.

Granted I've not been in a Ford made in the last 5 years, but I can't imagine it's suddenly changed after 20 odd years of stinking to high-heaven.
 
Citroen and Peugeot.

Have never ever liked Citroens and I cannot stand Peugeot because they haven't built anything I would even consider buying for the last 15 or so years. How you can build great cars like the 205 and 306Gti and then lose the plot I don't know.
 
Vauxhall. Not aesthetically pleasing, not fantastic to drive, yet they have crazy prices. If you want an Astra vxr for the brand new price they charge over all number of other things used/new you can get for the same money, then I can only assume you also go to work wearing your underpants on your head.
 
Toyotas - just because they make the Prius.
Korean cars.
Vauxhall - as has been said before, they aren't particularly bad, there is just always better.
VW - Just seem like really dull cars, particularly their interior.
