Any pickup truck but especially the Japanese variants with names like ‘warrior’ emblazoned on the sides.

Without fail, always seem to be driven by the most aggressive pricks on the road.
The funny thing is that the macho bullst names aren't used here in Australia.
In the past I've had to web search to find out what a Barbarian / Warrior / Stair Dominator is.
So what does the fact Mitsubishi et al use those names over there say about British drivers?

That they like their cars to be named after sex toys for men who like men.......

335i Convertible was by far and away the worst car I have ever owned. 4 months in my ownership and it enjoyed 2 new turbos, rocker cover gasket, HPFP, Intercooler, numerous EML's and 3 new wheels due to cracking. Superb. Good job it was approved BMW.

Completely agree... Ive got a 335i... i was looking at 330i's to begin with but couldn't bare the thought of seeing a 335i overtake me or pull up next to me and think should have got that model... turns out its the other way round... the N54 335i engine is a nightmare of little niggly faults and issues.

Well, I tell everyone I know thats what it means...



I had to hire one last year, under powered, in fact gutless POS!

Ridiculous emergency braking which completes an emergency stop when you go out to look for an overtake, and detects any movement as opposing traffic... And as a result, motorcyclist behind me nearly ran in the back of me. Dangerous POS.


Worst cars,

All Citroens, All modern BMW's, Most Fords, ROVER 75's!! Shall I go on?

Can't put my finger on why, but I'm developing a significant dislike for Subaru Legacy SpecB, about 2008/2009 vintage.

99% of the double cab pick up’s in my area are owned by farmers, ether with a sheepdog or straw bales in the back....and usually drive at a steady 45 regardless of the speed limit.

Probably ‘cos you’ve been ‘owned’ or ‘passed out’ by a particular one (the ‘weapon’)? biggrin

Yeah maybe, I think it was the high revving one with the 9k limiter (which is the really hateful version). The one that passed me out was only doing 80 in a 40mph dual carriageway. Maybe he was trying to let me pass him out, out of courtesy to my lowly BMW. He seemed so angry though, kept shouting about morons and diesels I think.

hehe

Any car that's aggressively over styled or any car pretending to be something it's clearly not.

Spent this evening's drive/queue home from work behind one of these, after 10 minutes and feeling quite sick, I developed a strong hatred for it. Small bonus though, the driver seemed to be the only driver on the road who understood how indicators work and the correct time to use them.
The previous generation was even more hideous (yes really)! It’s like designers finished the design then someone piped up they it had to square up rear quarter at 3:30 on the Friday afternoon. The result is comedy gold.

Nissan Qashqai
Nissan Juke
Nissan Note
Nissan Micra

All because they appear to be driven by someone who cannot drive normally. Either too fast/aggressively (Qashqai/Juke because 1.5dCi innit) or too slow/no awareness (Note/Micra doing 30 in a 60). In my opinion they all look terrible as well and there are plenty of other cars I'd much, much rather finance before one of these things if I ever wanted to finance something. Finally, quite a specific one...

Ford Focus MK2 (TDCI in black). Always seem to be driven by a bald middle aged man with glasses who can't get to work fast enough and probably can't get some action anywhere else, so they feel the need to drive like an absolute moron.

I've just chocked on my tea following that comment..... Thanks a bunch!!! wink



Totally in agreement with you there mate!! Subaru Legacy Specb make me.... hurl




(We actually had one of those on test a few years back and they were not that good at all. The package for the lease/purchase and servicing made them more expensive in the long run than an Audi Q or a BMW TDi or even a Volvo. Slow off the mark due to lack of torque and maxed out at 146mph. Old Senators were much quicker than that with roof lights on... Test car was bare and empty!)
