Worst aging cars?

To drive them is even worse, it feels like a lot of cheap plastic crap moving together roughly in the same direction rather than a solid item that is all of one piece. That alone makes them feel like the product of another era, that's how most cars felt back in the 80s.
What a load of twaddle. I have a 2005 RRS with 135k on the clock, so one of the first. I've recently taken it to Estepona & back. So around 1600 miles each way, covering around 700 miles/day. It was effortless & comfortable. A very pleasant drive. vikingaero said:

Much respect to anyone still running a Fisker Karma in in 2024!
Good luck to them. Apparently the software in them is horrendously glitchy and of course there are no updates. I saw a Youtube video recently that cited the only way to get them running following a software crash was to completely unplug the wiring loom from the power source, and then fingers crossed that everything came back to life again when you reconnected it.If any system didn't revive then the car was effectively scrap.
Shame as it is an amazing looking thing.
So, LS swap, dashboard swap, wiring loom swap.....

With the RRS, I've always thought this generation looked great, I used to have a silver TDV8, lovely thing to drive, and very nice interior as well, I think it looks better than the 2013 model
I've only driven the diesel V6 version(a 2006 model), but like you I liked the way it drove, and I liked the interior too. That was about 15 years ago now if I remember correctly. Evercross said:

The Alfa Quadrifoglio.
It looked like an old mondeo that had been driven through Halfords stick on tat section when it was new,it looks even more dated now.
Can't agree with you on that one, still looks lovely.It looked like an old mondeo that had been driven through Halfords stick on tat section when it was new,it looks even more dated now.
Sure you are not getting mixed up with the Mondeo with the Aston looking front end?

I used to think these looked futuristic when they can out, 'big and awkward' seems more fitting these days.With the Ioniq 5 i am actually impressed by how fast it managed to look boring. Went from "Car from the year 2030" to "Charme of a Hyundai Accent" in 6 months.
