There's just a few cars now and then I really really... really hate to see... existing.
And it's not like car company fanboy reasons or whatever, but more like
I can't stand either the sight of it or the fact somebody bought that.

First up to bat

Image
The Monte-Carlo

Why do I not like it?
The lowest model belts out all of 180 hp from a 3.4L v6 and the top one 303 from a huge 5.3L v8...
Granted the car price ranges from a aveo 22k to a base-taurus 26k. To me it comes off as
a walmart brand budget sports car... that really isn't that sporty. It's also front wheel drive
and looks like a coupe version of a cobalt.

I've also noticed that whenever you see one of these about 9/10 times the driver will be
either a young guy (popped collar, spikey hair, striped polo, you get the idea
or an older woman "mom" type

The justification people tend to give is they "wanted something sporty" and/or "like nascar"
as though this car has any remote resemblance to a race car's workings.

I drove a Monte Carlo once and I loved the feel of the car, it was great. Anyways, I'm not picky about cars, but I don't like it when I see people who make their cars look ugly though. Especially when they have fart cannons, and can't keep up with my parent's van. :P

Okay.. A few cars - but if I ever see these on the road; I get instant rage, and wish to bash them off the road.

Ford Ka (The older ones).. I mean which complete idiot approved the designs of these? They are HIDEOUS.. Thats in capitals for emphasis.
Fiat flippin Punto's.. Again - the older models; just plain horrible..
Vauxhall Corsa.. Lol - yet again the older ones.. They have midget lights, are similar to the Ka (HIDEOUS)..

Those are three cars that get on my cheeks when I see them on the road.. :glare:

The newest carlos are lame. the 90s models and down are okay.

I don't like the dodge caliber most of all for recent cars anyway.

Ford Probe - wth idk i guess they are alright but I'm glad they didn't make that the new mustang.

Toyota Prius: If you think you're "saving the enviroment" because you drive a Prius just makes me laugh.

Kia (Anything by them really, but in particular) Sportage: A turd with wheels would be more reliable than that sorry excuse for a car.

aren't kia's cars sold with 10year/100K mile warranties? Most people don't own "reliable" cars that long.

Meh I think that most people don't think of them as the best cars in the world but they're really cheap.

They started doing that after they got acquired by Hyundai, who were pretty much the creators of the 10year/100K mile warranties.
The Kia's I'm talking about are from Kia's first coming into the U.S. ('93) 'till about 2005. During that time they had 1 year warranties.

The Chevy is just weird (no, really. I typed "weird Chevy" into google and found it), but the PT Cruiser... :spite:

haha. The SSR is a really weird truck. I don't like the PT Cruiser either. My friend wanted one at one point, and when she said that I looked at her blankly. She was like.... WHAT??? And I said she'd look like a granny driving one! hahah.

^ Ford GT. Screw you, sir.



Anyways, I hate the 'smart' cars. I call them un-smart cars. If a smart car crashed head on into a bike, the smart would lose. True story.

I'm with Burks, Fords are pretty terrible cars.

I'm driving a Ford Fairmont at the moment, pretty bad car. It's falling apart at the seams.

Fords are amazing.

I've got a Focus RS which is honestly one of the best cars i've ever driven.

French cars however... ugh

Older Fords I would stay away from.. But the new ones they have got right.. The Focus RS & ST Racing badge are fantastic cars..
..They have had a lot of problems with the Mondeo in recent years though.. Some MAJOR problems.

Ford cosworth is the only ford ever worth mentioning in the list of great cars. All others suck.

The Puma is a good one too. It got top gear car of the year at one point. Has a great chassis.

The older Focus ST, and the new Fiesta ST are worth looking at.

The old RS200 is an amazing car aswell.
