Car you (probably irrationally) hate!

[S54Love]

It seems that I'm the only one that likes the Juke? I think it looks pretty good when compared to the likes of the Ford Ecosport.

I despise the new E-Pace Jaguar though, I think it looks awful. The design looks alright on the F-Pace's larger dimensions but it just looks wrong on the smaller car. It's just too short for it to work. From pictures, it looks smaller than some hatchbacks which is absurd. I think its to do with the rear c pillar.

Nissan Juke - Just don't get it
Prius - The new one is hideous and again don't get them
Audi - The few I've driven have been terrible. Not very comfy and the controls are not intuitive or easy to use.

3 series BMWs, every time I see one the driver is driving like a right tt

Either most of you accept that your hates are irrational or you don't understand the OP.

What do you mean? Most people have done exactly as expected. The only reason I put irrationally is so that we don't have the people who start abuse because reasoning is rubbish

[theplayingmantis]

1 series beemers, always up your ass on urban roads as the other poster said.

German small engine diesel repmobiles, up your ass on m-way when your already making progress...good cars but driven often with a point to prove when they see something even slightly unusual/more powerful.

Vauxhall anything. (hateful (excuse Monaro VXR), cars for people who dont care about driving and not interested in cars. just want to get from a-b cheaply. look at the recent adverts, they make no sense, "yes its here, another shi*tty boring Vauxhall that no one wants if they could afford something better or had an iota of sense and would buy a ford" or the Mokka wtf)

Peugeot anything. (i know the old top gear JC and JM skit was a bit tongue in cheek but it is based on fact. see Vauxhall above)

Nissan micra (nuff said)

KIA stinger (irrationally hate it, i think cos everyone says how amazing it is when its merely OK)

You can't hate something that doesn't currently exist on public roads.
I get why you want to hate them, but you can't sit saying they are dreadful when you've never "driven" one

OK, so you didn't understand your own post! If the hatred is irrational, then you cannot put down reasons to justify it. That is the meaning of the word!

I quite like the Juke to, I would certainly only one over the competition such as the EcoSport which I also dreadfully hate

I don't hate the E-pace, but I do agree that it certainly isn't as good looking as competitors or it's big brother

Oh big deal, I used the wrong word. Everyone else manages to not have a huge fit about it...
My aim was to not have a stupidly long title but also not just have peoplenlisting every car they kinda dislike.

[vikingaero]

Land/Ranger Rovers/Bentleys/Touregs etc. Anything big and brash. I've driven some and very competent they are, but they're the automotive equivalent of a big diamond studded gold Rolex. Some people say flash your wealth, others..

If I won the Euros my fleet would be about 20 or 30 small cars from Trabants, classic Mini, Jimny, Fiat 500, Suzuki SC100 etc.

It would have been an interesting thread. There is a "cars you hate" thread just about every month.

Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid. Takes advantage of emissions tests designed before plug-in hybrids existed and as a result claims it can do 200mpg or whatever daft figure they came up with. It can't do 200mpg unless you charge it regularly. It's like saying my car does 200mpg if I tow it most of the way to work.

As a result of cheating the system, it's a very popular company car with jumped-up low-level managers who run it only on petrol, probably averaging south of 30mpg.

These idiots that drive them often push their way in front of other cars, and once the road opens up they hold everyone up because their car is too slow.

Ugly looking things too, and horrible to drive.

Antidote to vulgar brahsness:

[irocfan]

Ford EcoSport has to be up there, hateful thing!

Another vote down for the Toyboata pious and the X6

I am very surprised though that there has been no mention of the Renault KumGoo

Porsche? Lambo? Bentley?

Christ I didn't even know they had Porsche now days.

But yeah I'm not a big fan of modern Lambos, the best for me was the Diablo. The modern ones again, a bit too well made a bit too designed for footballers for my taste, and fk me they made a luxury 4x4.

Bentleys have been very German since the Conti, it even looks German from the outside.

I'd take a 981 Boxster though

But this isn't a "cars you hate" thread... This is a "cars you hate for pretty miniscule reasons" thread...
Anyway, considering I searched "cars you hate" before making this thread and the only one that came up was from 2008 I think your timescale is a bit out. I'm not saying you're lying before you get all offended but there certainly isn't one every single month

To my earlier post, I would add any small wannabe Faux by Four (Qashcow, Puke etc.)

An honourable mention for the utterly ste Peugeot 2008.

[Torcars]

You did say irrational? OK, here goes...

Citroen Picasso - especially the early ones in light blue. Driven by people who have given up on life.

Citroen Cactus. It's probably very good but all that cladding makes me think the owner is just st at parking or scared they might get hit by something.

Japanese crew cab things with will names like Animal or Wife Beater on the side. Driven by thick boorish louts.

Nissan Micra. Piloted by mad old ladies orthoses nervous types who hunch over the wheel - usually with a huge line of cars following at funeral cortège pace.

stty usually blue Vauxhalls. Offensive looking cars driven by women in night attire or men in track suits who rely on the local authority to source living accomodation.

Citroen 2CV. Just fk off you twee tts.

Renault 4. Based on one bloke I knew who had one who was a cock.

Audi - not old ones but anything from around 2000 onwards. To a lesser extent BMW.

Chrysler PT Cruiser. Owned by people in South Yorkshire who do line dancing and who call themselves Hank or Mary Lou when they are really called Alan and Brenda.

Chrysler 300. Thuggish bouncer transport often sporting Bentley badges. Thuggish bouncer type is happy for elderly relations who know no better to brag about how their son/grandson done good because he drives a Bentley.

That irrational enough for you?

[Mr Tidy]

There are so many - Kuga, Mokka, Zafira, S-Max, C-Max, Picasso, 5008, Mazda 5, Cashcow, Puke, etc.

All an admission of failure IMO!

I think the problem with Lamborghini now is they are a little too ubiquitous and attainable. In the days of the Countach and Diabolo seeing a Lambo in the metal was always a special event. Most people who had money to burn had a Ferrari but Lambos were a leftfield choice and relatively hard to come by even if you wanted one, and unless you lived somewhere like Beverly Hills or Knightsbridge you just didn't see them.
