And I'm not talking about fisting.

Are there any unpopular, generally hateful cars that you find yourself wanting and/or needing?

Things like the Ford Escort RS2000 4x4 boxedin

I don't think it's a case of others not liking, just more left field choices will always have a smaller following.

But for me that's at least part of the appeal, why be a sheep when you can be an individual.

Reckon I've got 3 cars that divide opinion:

-Chevy Camaro z28
-Triumph TR7 V8
-smart Roadster

All good cars in their own right, and the fact that some don't like the badge, perceived image or look of them doesn't alter what they are, or what they are capable of.

Citroen ZX, I bloody love them! Whenever i start looking for a shed to bumble about in they are the first things i check. Slow, economical and so comfycloud9. However basically a 306 underneath so if once you get up to speed they can corner in a surprising, if wallowy way.

Except a 16v Volcane pin sharp and one of the best Q-cars ever.

I'm not averse to the recent MGs, which many seem to hate. Usually those who haven't driven them.

Yep. A sports people carrier: it just doesn't get any better than that!

I'm not debating your choice. I'm debating the term 'sports people carrier'. IT'S WRONG.

We've got a VW Touran 'sports'.

Its not exactly what I'd call 'sports', but it's moderately quiuck when the turbo kicks in.

And its got lots of cup holders.

I think they're great little cars. I had one as a courtesy car once and I loved it. Great fun, excellent handling and not bad poke.




It's just not a performance carhehe

I quite like those, nearly bought one last year after I sold my Golf. Rot in the roof put me off, but the running gear was solid. Went OK too smile

Peugeot 309.

The fatter uglier sister of the 205.

I love them, and I think they are pretty, handle well and are generally great.
