The most hateful car you've driven?

[BigNige]

For me it must be the thing I have at the moment.

We're in France right now and before we went I booked a C class car with Hertz.
Usually a C class is a Peugeot 307 or Ford Focus etc
This time it appears to means Kia Rio.

Ugh!
I mean UGHHH!
What a mean and nasty car this thing is.
It has no power that I can find, really horrible plastic interior, uncomfortable cloth seats, no arm rests, a vdo stereo which sounds farking awful and it wallows and yaws everywhere.
It doesn't even have remote bleeding locking!
A truly nasty car.

The one redeeming thing is that it is costing me £18 a day.

hateful car? I've driven too many to mention so instead of that I'll just mention les fantastique weather we are having this fine, hot, sunny, fantastic, hot, sunny, warm bank holiday. Hottest in Europe chap

Bet the roads aren't the quietest though.
Makes even a Kia Rio a pleasure to hoon along - no traffic, lo-o-o-ong sweeping curves with vision all the way around them.

And to top it all we went to look at some prospective properties this avo - how about a fully refurbished 3 bedroom farmhouse with double garage for £75k.

which region? We're back to Carcassonne this year to check the area out and I really want to buy down there.

[BigNige]

Charentes Maritime.

The South is awash with Brits, don't bother.

Hi Big Nige,

I thought you lived on the coast, why didn't you take your car over and enjoy the roads?
