Anything by Porsche. I'm not really sure why.
"I just don't understand them. You sacrifice looks, driving, economy for what? "Practicality"? An estate does the exact same purpose as an SUV but on the whole looks better, drives better and quite a few have surprisingly good economy for their size."
Hence, the ultimate irrational hatred of mine:
Porsche Cayenne.
Why buy?
Jag + estate = love joy type antique dealer ? Not thick just shifty / an air of crapped their pants about their gait. Come on jagggglover please fulfill the stereotype !!!! Push the Mondeo sorry jaggg buttons for me. Y16 SES said:

For me, it's any SUV. I've corrected your post to explain my own reasons:"I just don't understand them. You sacrifice looks, driving, economy for what? "Practicality"?

Agree with the VAG sentiment, the guy who said they are clinically designed and soulless is right on the money in my eyes.
Otherwise for me it's the Vauxhall Mokka. The pathetic scrapings from the very bottom of Vauxhall's sorry and sad barrell. Their body styling makes them look like they're constantly under heavy braking, with their arse up in the sky and all that, plus always driven by someone who has zero interest in driving. I think it's becoming the new angry-Dad Zafira.

I don't hate any cars as there are many reasons why people buy them, but there are marques which are doubtless excellent that leave me completely uninterested and would be very unlikely to buy.
Ferrari
McLaren
Audi
Lamborghini
Jaguar
I know rationally the there are many hugely desirable cars here and I have had the opportunity to see these at very close quarters but have never gotten the buzz. Therefore its irrational, like not liking (say) broccoli.
There are of course the usual super ugly things like the Aztec etc that everyone hates but they are rational hates.

FIAT have jumped the shark with the 500 estate.
The original was actually quite good for what it was imo.
My hatred is almost uniquely reserved for Bini derivatives of any sort bar the original Supercharged Cooper.
Had over 40 of them at work & most were hideousiy unreliable PoS.
They & all other BMW models have now been removed from our company car list & there is 1 left that the lease is up on in July.... I`m almost counting the hours to when I arrange its defleet!!
Not so much hate, but based on looks alone I have an irrational dislike of:
BMW 1and 2 Series and the X6
Porsche Panamera and Cayenne
Vauxhall Mokka, Agila, Zafira and Adam
Honda Type R, esp the latest model
Fiat Multipla
Audi A1
Almost anything in the current Mercedes range
Bentley Bentayga
And of course, the loathsome Juke

The Nissan Micra
I especially despise this little gobste of automotive insignificance, until a few years ago, I attributed any traffic jam down to the incompetance of its pilot and something inane it had done. When single I once met a delightful bit of totty in Stockbridge, the date was going well until she outlined her love for her Micra and its 'nippiness' .Needless to say this changed the direction of the evening, it would always, always be an issue, so no second date.
The Peugeot 208SW
To be fair most Peugeot's aren't bad bits of kit, however I thought this particular version was spectacularly ugly. The rear lights are incongruous and I think it poorly proportioned. We had some foreign visitors once who had been issued one by the car hire company. I made them park it round the back of the house where I couldn't see it.
Any Hyundai
It is irrational, I just hate the brand... I will admit that some of their stuff is actually quite nice looking, and yes they review well... but no way on earth will I have one in my drive. I have the same feeling about Samsung... sam sung what FFS?
Mitsubishi Outlander
It's just horrible, but my opinion is probably swayed by some of the drivers of these things. I have had more than a few incidences where I am not in my FFRR but my old Cherokee and drivers of these get all superior... I know its a best seller, but having driven one as a hire car.. its not an SUV its a jacked up estate cheaply made.
Mercedes Benz CLA
I am a huge Mercedes- Benz fan. Who in Stuttgart signed off the design of this slippery turd? Its rear looks like the face of an over the hill drag queen.... and as for the drivers of these... zero taste zero...
BMW 1 Series
Ok its a BMW, that's good..this is for the fairer sex, end of. I irrationally hate the way some drivers of these behave on the road. Normally I am driving something which will outperform any 1 series, but that doesn't stop the driver of the said 1 series nipping at my tail like a wasp drunk on fermented apples..
