What cars do you have an unhealthy hatred of?
Discussion
As per the header. Any particular vehicle that you despise, and would like to share your reasoning?
I have NEVER seen a well driven Nissan Micra, even though they seem to transcend demographic.
Either a female who is sitting so close to the windscreen that the sun visor would be behind their head if they put it down, or someone so old they have the reactions of a slug on Valiom.
Never ever witnessed one travelling at, let alone above the speed limit.
Always hesitate at roundabouts.
Very seldom indicate, and just generally cause me anxiety to the point where I have to overtake one every time I see it just so I don't have to look at it.
Honda Jazz is in second place followed by anything Korean...............

I honestly don’t hate any cars. Plenty I dislike and would never, ever buy but I understand that they’re just not for me.
Worst car I ever drove was a “courtesy” car - some Vauxhall mini mpv thing. Probably around 2013. Horrible thing but I’m sure plenty of people bought them and were quite satisfied with them. Fine by me.
Most disappointing car I ever owned was a v8 m3. Just felt like a normal 3 series with a nicer sounding engine. Never felt special. But I’m sure lots of people love them and that’s fine by me too.

Renault Alpine A110. What a missed opportunity to make something classic rwd, six cylinders, naturally aspirated and manual for around £35k. Instead they cobble together some kind of wannabe RCZ with a crappy four pot 1.8 turbo 
auto only and then try to charge over £50k for it. No wonder they didn’t sell and topped out the Which Reliability survey as the least reliable one star car with around 80% experiencing a complete breakdown. Such a missed opportunity! So frustrating. Oh and it looks like a bag of spanners as well. Hopeless.

Ha quite harsh assessment! Your definitely not a lover , I’ve no skin in the game on the 110 , but owners do really seem to enjoy there cars, and I think they look fantastic, what I would say is i can see why the engine/gearbox combination is not for everyone, also the weight of it, bespoke ground up build sports car almost the same weight as my run of the mill i20N also a modern car with all the restraints of that. It’s light but to be similar to the i20N is poor in my book as the Hyundai is just a car and not a lightweight sports car . auto only and then try to charge over £50k for it.

Wouldn't own, now there's a few in that list, but not going to list them as there will be other people who actually love them
From a personal perspective, I love driving pretty much anything.

I dislike cars with pop and bang exhausts. Usually driven by some idiot in Central London, accelerating hard, braking hard, accelerating hard ad nauseum in traffic just to make those noises. Just no need for it.
Sometimes you get unlucky and have to walk down the same stretch of road as that idiot for 15 / 20 mins. It's bloody annoying.
