Not car model. Thats important.
I won't create a poll because there are too many to list but my vote is probably Saab. Never seen one being a knob in one or driving one badly. Shout out to Volvo too, off the top of my head I can't think of one I've seen driving badly.

I'd have gone for NASA - but they seemed to make those buggies fly wink

Ariel - only ever seen one on road for a few seconds and seemed sensible wink

Just because we can't recall examples - doesn't mean there aren't any, just they weren't so bad as to stick in memory

I can recall a couple of badly driven Volvos that stick in memory - one example that really sticks in memory is during thick fog one was overtaking. I think they believed the adverts - though I am not sure whether that was you are safe in a Volvo or only dummies drive them

So where the hell do you think the name Volvo driver comes from?

Hard to say now as not one manufacturer appeals to enthusiasts. It was probably a manufacturer like Alfa years ago but now I'll say Pagani as you'll be unlucky for one of thoe to upset you.

Me too. Although I've only ever seen one being driven particularly fast on the road.

Someone in a 9-3 diesel decided to overtake me on the exit of a 40mph zone the other day. I was in the Elise at the time. I held back to let him by, but then needed to overtake him later because he was in the way.

Interestingly, I've had a BMW for almost two weeks, and have recieved 1 coffee-bean already. In four years of driving a 93 - nothing, absolutely nothing smile

I would have said McLaren.


Right up to the point Rowan Atkinson took his for a spin.
