Cars that you have an irrational hatred for....
Discussion
As per the thread title there's some makes of car I cannot abide for reasons that I don't fully understand...
My top ones are;
.
Do any other PHers have cars they hate for spurious reasons?
Does anybody not like Mx5's by the way?
My top ones are;
- Any thing with a K-Series engine- Not the car I hate. Just the engine.
- Jaguar X-types- I don't care what you say. It's a Mondeo.
- Subaru Imprezas- (But not the new one which I like) Nothing screams "I couldn't afford an EVO", like the burble of a fat can on a tuned scooby.
- All 4x4s- Except Defenders/ridiculously overperforming ones. They're utterly pointless and for the record your Mrs can't drive/park it and you look like a tart when you take the helm. Also I can't see past your fat ugly car and that irritates me.
- Older M3s- Don't like it. Sorry. I'd sympathise more with the impending VANOS failure but the older ones are proper chav mobiles these days and the E46 ones just look awful (especially in that tasteless yellow).
- "Perfomance" diesels. Not as fast most owners think, torque is no substitute for power on a road car. MPG is not as great as almost all owners think it is when you take into consider your massive depreciation and higher costs of fuel.

Anyone who has a smart or a KA. Its not the cars I hate its the people.
They use words like funky when they mean s
te.
They use words like pokey, fun, and nippy, when they mean dire.
They play the inverted snob badge to death.
They talk about brabus as if selotaping a firework to the top of a turd somehow makes it less of a turd.
Any abuse gets met with the 'try it before you critisize, you'd be surprised' statement. Well its a hideous car, with truly hideous performance and is just so s
te that if I got in one, and every one of its hideous funky coloured seats had a semi clad photo model that wanted me for car sex, I'd still rather throw a match in than sit in.

I could concur with the M3 comment having been hounded through Kingston town centre on Sunday by one driven by two Eastern European gangster wannabees.
Would disagree with the K series on two grounds... Elise and Caterham.
Don't have a genuine hatred for any cars really, usually just the nuts behind the wheel.

Pretty much most cars built after after about 1980. Not hate, but modern cars just don't seem to appeal to me any more & I can't tell one from another.
I drive for a living & pass thousands of modern cars but if you were to point at one going down the street & ask what car is that? 90% of the time I wouldn't have a clue.
