OT: Talking Cars Tuesday - Cars you hate
Hey, it's actually tuesday!
Per a great suggestion from "A Different Jason" this week let's get the hate out there. What car (s) do you absolutely HATE? Maybe you bought the wrong vehicle, maybe that rental you had for a week was the worst thing ever, maybe that car just has a stupid look on its stupid car face.
Let's hear the hate. The less rational the better.
Never driven one, so I probably shouldn't hate them as much as I do. I just hate the look of the car and I feel like they're always the cars that slow to a full stop to make even the slightest turn and fail to pull into the intersection in preparation for a left turn.
Edit: also the Nissan Cube. It looks like a Dr. Seuss-mobile.
Kia Soul. I just rented one and it was nice on the inside, but so many people would stop me and tell me it was ugly. Even the guy at the rental company talked about how ugly the car is.
Cars I hate... because generally, the people behind the wheel FUCKING SUCK and have ZERO idea what they are doing on the road:
1. Any minivan -- GTFO of the left lane!!!
2. Prius
3. PT Cruiser
PT Cruiser: Is it ugly? Most certainly. Does it drive well? Not particularly.
BUT: the speedometer is recessed in the dashboard in such a way that it is hard to see the speed from the passenger seat...thus, I LOVED this car during driver's training
It was my parents "family cruiser" to haul us 5 kids around. They drove this thing for like 15 years. Solid white with a light blue interior. The engine was between/behind the front seats, almost in line with the front tires.
I'll take a Pontiac Aztek, HHR, PT Cruiser, beige car, Scion, Nissan Cube, Prius etc. over this egg on wheels any day.
Around here people lift them and make them back country campers.
used to be crap, but they're making some pretty damn good cars now. I had a V6 Sonata as a rental a few years ago and it was far and away better than my wife's Impala. Faster, more and better features, better ride and handling, and a much lower MSRP.
/doesn't work for Hyundai
And I wouldn't buy one, but it was stunning how much better it was than it's US competition.
I think cars across the board are at a really low spot for styling and drivability. Designs and functions of these new cars don't interest me in the least.

We are living in a super muscle car time. It is like the late 60's except the cars are reliable and get fair gas mileage.
This far in the thread and no mention of Hummers? It is assumed, and 99% true, that if you own a Hummer, you have some form of megalomania. Two people I knew who had them displayed varying degrees of sociopathy. The people I don't know who have them are clearly deranged.
Had one up until a few months ago - absolutely terrible car. The car spent over a month in the shop combined over 5 trips within its first 6 months and had a laundry list of recalls the whole year and a half I had it before I got rid of it and took the loss on its crappy residual value.
They did a shoddy job with the engineering and when its sales tanked they kept building them at the same rate, destroying the residual value for those that owned them.
That's disappointing to hear because the ATS coupe is probably the best-looking car GM has delivered in a long time.
I really hate the new badge. Not that it's new, but because it's ugly, cartoonish, and larger than the old one, which was actually classy. They fixed something that wasn't broken, and made it a hundred times worse. New Cadillacs would actually look better with no badge than the caddy cowboy belt buckle they've come up with.
I would rather walk than drive a mopar.
I must admit I like the looks of the chargers, but I started hating all things Mopar in the 60's and I can't shake it.
I also can't understand VW love. They over charge for ugly cars.
I like Fords and Honda these days.
173 posts and no one mentioned the Nissan Juke? Looks like a busted frog. I can't imagine who would find this car attractive. WTF are with the fog lights (or whatever they are) in the middle of the damn hood
i think the worst vehicle I ever drove was a dodge caliber. Everything about the experience was awful. Felt enterprise should've paid me to take it.
Cars I hate the most are the regular cars that people pimp out and spend all kinds of time and effort (and money) turning into hideous tinted, chrome trimmed, fake portholed nightmares. It hurts my car loving soul to see them. t's just wrong wrapping a new camaro in chrome and jacking it 2 feet in the air to fit ugly ass wheels under it.

I hate BMW but because of owners. They respect no one on the roads
You know, there is no car I have. I am a pretty kind person and hate is the feeling I gave up and I don't feel it anymore. When it comes to cars, I appreciate safety more than anything else. For example, I need Honda Civic cabin air filter Ecogard XC36080 of good quality and I will be happy.
