Cars you hate with a passion!

[CJ]

The Yaris sucks hugely.  I mean, it's a decent little car, but it just sucks.  There's no driving engagement, there's no brake feel, no steering feel, no feel of anything.  And the center mounted gauges are stupid.  It is fairly roomy on the inside, though.

I said the Versa was dull. I didn't say it was bad.

What, and the Yaris is the epitome of excitement?

For the record, my mom "kind of liked" her Versa rental car and absolutely despised her Yaris rental car.

This is because the Versa is a bomb-ass little car. Every Yaris I've ever driven smells funny...and I don't think it has anything to do with past renters because they all smell the same.

My grandmother (drives an Azera) liked her Versa rental, too. It took a bit of time for me to figure out what car she had rented, but she recognized the name when I said it.

Honda CRV.

Millions love this vehicle. To me , especially the current model, it epitomizes the generation when Honda decided that its once scrappy little car division has decided to go vanilla on the world. It's well built, spacious and good fuel economy for its size, but its soooooooooooooo blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. The mindset is leaking into other cars in the lineup now too. The older model CRV's ( and a few others ) just feel like they have more life to them. Even with much less power.

I just thought that was worth quoting.

Buncha Viper wannabes.

What's that?  Looks like a Monaro/Pontiac GTO, though I don't think it is.

One of my pet hates.



In fact I can't stand most of the lower powered A3s, they smack of someone buying a car solely for the badge.

A Mitsubishi Eclipse-based Dodge Stratus coupe, 2001-2006 generation. There definitely is a lot of GTO in the roofline now that you mention it.

Is that an A3 cabrio? Does it come with the 2.0T and quattro?

As Iffy said, it's a Dodge Stratus. I drove a friend of mine's, and it was pretty much a heaping pile of shit. Of course, he likes it, so I didn't tell him that.

The cut the handle off the VW Bitch Basket and slapped an Audi badge on it!

[Colonel Cadillac]

I really hate the CRV, new Accords (hell every single one of the new Hondas), most Toyotas, 525/8i's, C240's, and that's all I care to think about now.

Some of the most wretched driving I've seen in the past few years has been from folks driving these. They are the official SUV of Morons That Don't Have A Clue. That, and they are really nasty looking, like a taller Dodge Caliber.



Disgusting!

528is? They're not really that slow anymore....

[BimmerM3]

I'm also not sure that an otherwise good car should be under the "hate" category when all that's missing is a few horsepower.

Heh i think it looks decent. My mom's wanted one for a while now. I drove one at the autoshow, it actually handles decently for what it is

[Raza]

I like the GLK.  It's so damn small though...you really have to wonder what the point of an SUV that small is.

[nickdrinkwater]

I've only ever seen one GLK but wasn't impressed.  Like Raza says it's so small and has barely any ground clearance.  Plus it's downright ugly compared to the Q5.

[Laconian]

I think it's one of the more blatant cases of cars that you buy for the badge.

[MX793]

I have a hard time even considering it an SUV.  It's more of a compact tall wagon, like a 1st gen Forrester (only perhaps smaller), than an SUV.

[Submariner]

It's built real well, it handles nicely (for a small 'SUV') it's got a good engine, and it's got more room than a C-sedan.  I don't see what's bad about it.  

I'd probably go with a Q5, but then again, I've only driven a Q5 for a total of 30 seconds...so...

It looks like a Forester.

[MexicoCityM3]

If you think the GLK small, wait until you see the X1 in the flesh. It is basically a 5% larger 3 series touring.

[the Teuton]

Oh yeah, I no longer hate the Caliber. I positively tolerate it.

The 2009 model, however...

[S204STi]

Jakob reminded me, I really hate Saturns, particularly the 90s plasticars.  Sorry dude.

I do too. Some of the worst cars I've ever worked on. The very definition of disposable cars. You ever had to take the outer door panel off one after it had got a few years old? What a joke.

[S204STi]

I like how older cars just sort of shatter when they get hit.

[Onslaught]

Well they have plastic panels that get very brittle over time bolted together with bolts and J-nuts that rust like they've been in the ocean. So when you try and take it apart then things just snap left and right. I have to say that it's just shit. Only way you can work on anything in the inside of the door is to take the outer panel off and not the interior one like a normal car. So after a few years it's almost impossible to work on. That and they just feel so fucking cheap.

[the Teuton]

Y'all be haters.

Luckily, I have manual door locks and manual windows, so I r0xx0rs.
