Skylines and Supras. I read about them and give proper owners the chance to argue their case but it's just the fast and furious fad that was big when i was getting into cars has forever stained their appeal to me, yes they have a great straight 6 engine, the skyline was the tip top of an era and leveled so many other amazing cars, the supra is supposed to be amazing jap GT'ing but i just can't get above my petty dislike and now looking for a memorable special car all i seem to get is "Skyline or Supra you can TOON them m8" when i don't want to mess with something that has to be a b road blaster.

Also, this is a full on joke and im not meaning to upset anyone beyond slightly bad humor that man kind of feeling. Paul Walker was a better mixed grill than memorable actor and all stickers of "Do not cry...am smiling" are cringe worthy in the maximum and sum up why i dislike the two cars so much.

Edit: Juke is just a no brainer.

Thank God someone is sain

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"? 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?

I love Porsche so I can’t say anything about that one

However, I did put estate before SUV, and I do personally prefer an estate as well, an SUV is more popular to the general public though which is why I included it

I think it's this unreasonable popularity that fuels my hatred for them. I had a conversation about this with some friends a while back, and their take was that 'SUVs don't scream middle age as much as estates'. The more I think about it, the less irrational this hatred seems....

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.

I'd never thought about the jag + estate stereotype, but now you've mentioned it.... that seems spot on! Although the last antiques-dealer type I met (collecting ebay purchase) drove a BMW X1, so that little jag estate stereyotype may need shifting to the e-pace/f-pace shortly.

I keep getting flack from my colleagues about running an overpriced mondeo. One claimed he likes to recreate the jaaaag (not jaggg - minor point) driving experience by filling up and then continuing to pour petrol on the floor for several minutes.

Apologies if you're a Porsche owner (I acknowledge my hatred of Porsche is entirely irrational!).

No love for the Nissan Juke, then.

Can't think why.

This is the 'irrational' hate for cars thread. Your hate for this is purely rational.

Purely for market share, completely lose the soul of the badge:
Aston Martin Cygnet
BMW 2 Series Active Tour
BMW 2 Series Gran Tour
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Jaguar F-PACE

As much as I agree with the badge for market share comment, the Cygnet was unapologetically created to meet CAFE/fleet emissions targets in the mid 00's. Aston never intended for them to sell them in any number (or even at all really).

To be fair to Aston, they at least did a half-arsed job on the interior rather than simply rebadging like VW do with Audis.

Any diesel luxury car.

Any? Even if it had a V8? (A8 3.3/4.0/4.2 TDI - 740d/745d - E400/E420 CDI - S400/S420 CDI)

[Longstarestates1]

My mates uncle’s grandfathers,sisters best mate has one, not as much fun as an Mx-5 or 100bhp panda. My man maths says I can just about afford one without selling the mrs SQ7. I might just stick with my gt86 though.

Vauxhall Meriva, god I hate these things, they are just so awkward to drive.

I was taken out for the sighting lap in one of these on a VRX day and was quite impressed how well it went. I decided to have a go and I have to say I became deeply impressed at the driving skills of the instructor that took us round because it felt like a wobbly turd to drive. The 'seating' position is absurd, the pedals are almost under the wheel, you don't so much push the pedals as hold your legs in the air and delicately rest your feet on them.

Executive cars with a 4-cylinder diesel engine; raucous, unrefined and excessively clattery, ruining what should be a reasonably quiet car. 5/6-cylinders should be the minimum - whilst there is a bit of diesel clatter, they sound more refined when revs increase. V8s sound even better.

[Fermit The Krog and Sexy Sarah]

The Evoque convertible. Such an ugly contrived POS. I've not seen very many of them either, so hopefully the majority agree. Any coupe off roader too. I mean, what's the point? You surely choose a big off roader for (amongst other things) their carrying ability, then they compromise that.
BMW 4 series Grand Coupe. For one, it's just a pretentious name for a hatchback. Secondly. The coupe is a 2 door version of the 3, which they've then added 2 doors back to? Full circle IMO, and needless. Plus they charge a load more for it. Who falls for this marketing BS?

[waynecyclist]

New Honda Civic, too long and just is ugly

Ford Eco Sport hateful horrid thing

Bmw 1 series, way too common now seems to be that base spec 116d's in white due to cheap PCP deals are flooding the roads

Mercedes A Class (newer version) just bland and does little for the brand

Nissan Juke, drove one once never again

I do actually hate them.

S250 CDI. Mercedes-Benz putting their noisiest engine in their quietest car. What's the point? Why not buy an S280?

One that springs to mind is those little Smart cars. Mainly because they are always driven by hipster types, yet driven very aggressively - they are the automotive equivalent of the Angry Little Man.

[PorkRind]

Any 'town' (think Toyota IQ) cars with gutless engines that are so gutless theyre driven in the 60's at 40 by some nervous person. JUST NO !

I'm the same as you, and when I had my 520d I really liked the car...but I struggled to cope with how noisy/unrefined the engine was.

A premium car should have a premium engine for me(V8 Petrol), I don't dislike the 6 cylinder diesels quite as much(still rough though), and I'd much prefer a large capacity petrol engine in a premium/luxury car.
