Cars that are nearly always driven badly

Isn't this just another opportunity to name and stereotype all the currently popular cars.....

It is but with the added knocking of leasing and finance. I did like the way some seem to be able to spot a leased car in their mirror. Perhaps the other driver pastes the documents on their windscreen?

Honda Jazz

Pastel coloured Fiat 500s

First generation Picasso's and Zafiras

Any BMW with a self applied M badge, M powered grille slats or number plates in the windscreen

These list threads are pointless, they just serve to illustrate posters' observations.

Fixed that for you.

Not sure you did... There is always lots of exaggeration and generalisation in these threads that the observations themselves are lost. See one or two badly driven Zafira’s in a week and most forget about the 15 averagely driven ones. All of a sudden all Zafira drivers are the worst scum in the world.

hahaha a very useful skill to have, perhaps they can "see" the size of a mortgage on other people's houses to

bmw's are only bad if it's 3series coupe e90

Well it didn’t take long for my car to be mentioned!

Oh well, I like to think I break the mould when it comes to the usual BMW stereotypes. I try to be a courteous driver but I bet plenty of people’s minds are made up as soon as they see the badge.

How about motorbikes then that go past at twice the speed limit or more, or who filter way faster than they really should and get all angry when someone dares change lane.

Bikers seem to have a superiority complex sometimes, and to be fair its tempered by having to stay alive but they dont always help themselves, especially the weekend warriors out in a group.

The standard of bike riding is higher, on average than car drivers but there are some complete nutcases out there on two wheels.

Females, with more money than driving ability, who buy the biggest SUV in the makers of their choice catalogue, and then stick a personal number plate on it.

[Buzypea]

For aggressive driving, has to be Golf GTD every time.

[fausTVR]

For me it is the Golf, has been for years, more so the non R or GTi variants. The carriage of choice for the angry, underachieving, hate fuelled scrote.

I thought the majority of all new cars are rented or bought on debt?

So when someone boasts about 'their' new VW/Audi etc I shrug.

[rustfalia]

Any car fitted with a dashcam.

Do you do the same thing when someone talks about 'their' house?

[996TT02]

Round my way - very small car drivers, generally because the driver is "scared" to drive a larger car, so you can well imagine.

Including Smarts - but for the opposite reason, generally driven by "busy" jerks.

Chavwagons of choice here are older Passats, Merc saloons and large older Peugeots.

Anyone with a mortgage is surely living in a property beyond their means

Carry on the lease circus, more new cars makes more second hand cars for all those waiting for 5-10 year old bargains they can afford.

Houses don't depreciate like a brick dropped off a building however when said brick has mortar round it it doesn't tend to move at the very least.

This. A guy I work with is a biker, claims to need to have eyes in the back of your head, yet generally a poor driver.

What do headrests have to do with anything? Mine don't colapse down like Mercedes, so are always upright...

Just with car drivers, there are bikers good and bad.

Yeah but its still not 'theirs' though, regardless of depreciation?

How about if someone leases (or rents if you want to appear superior) a car that doesnt depreciate?

[Sa Calobra]

Yes it is. As time passes the value grows AND the replacements pay off each month.

Do you need a lesson?

[AlexiusG55]

Kia Sportage. Tends to be driven by people angry that they can't afford a Q7.
