The worst (new) car you can buy

CharlieCroker

Ok, most threads on motors are based on the best cars on the road are?
What I saw today, What car should I buy, etc.

What do people think is the WORST new car on sale today??
Not nessesarily the worst to drive or reliability but also boring, bland, so-forgetable-you'd-forget-it-if-it-just-hit-you!!

This is my contribution, the Grand-dad special Nissan Tiida saloon!!

Staright away, it was my thinking too

Nissan Tiida saloon

I saw the thread title and straight away thought Tilda. How much must you actively hate driving that you'd consider buying one? It makes some of the low rent Korean ****e look like it was designed by Bertone himself.

Funny you should say that. I had a Tiida company car for a little while (worked in Nissan garage) and without a word of a lie, i prefered driving my parents 2006 Kia Rio!!

garyegt

ever since the renault takeover nissan have gone downhill on their budget cars. i have a 96 primera egt and it is such a fun car to drive and sooo reliable. like hte newest of the primeras they have inherited the frenchness and gained electrical problems.

the only new nissan i would buy would be the gtr, but then again who wouldnt:D

sanyoongoong rexonnns?

are them hiedous things still sold ?

CharlieCroker

unfortunately, the Rexton is the BEST looking car in the Ssangyong range!!

L1011

Isn't there someone importing Tata's here now?

If not, Tiida. It looks like a Dacia Logan thats been melted a bit; which might be where Nissan got the design idea from, sure Dacia is all part of the same group, ish....

The minute I saw the title.. There is NO contest.
TIDA.

Personnaly i think the new Octavia is muck, they seemed to step back a decade with its new design.

As for the Tiida didnt come into mind really but having had my memory refresh by the pic its a piece of dirt.

Porsche Cayenne...

Not just because it's an SUV and doesn't fit in with the heritage <blah blah> but because it's willfully ugly and based on a VW.

Page 2 and it hasnt been mentioned :eek: :P...................................

I hate the VW Fox. A step back from the old Lupo which was a little car I loved.

pickarooney

It looks like a Director's Cut DVD - with two alternative endings.

Those Rodius' (rodyii?) are fairly stink alright but these have always been a pet hate of mine

Dartz

Worst thing about a Tiida is that it's.....
Just dull.

It's actually hard to find a truly ****e car though. All cars these days are more reliable than 90% of cars not ten or fifteen years ago. Probably a bit plastiky.

There aren't really any cars left that'll fall apart at the side of the road, or rust into a heap of brown dust with tyres at their first encounter with winter road salt.

If the worst thing people can say about a Ssangyong Rodius is that it's **** ugly, and was designed by people who see a car as white goods (like a cooker) and not as a luxury item, and that's one of the worst cars out there..

How much better have cars gotten?

So says the man who owns a Renaul Laguna... 2.

Yep. To be fair I dont mind the side profile but the front and rear are horrible.
It looks a little like the Civic saloon from the side.

NEW cars only if possible please people

Ya, sorry I only realised after I posted. It got me thinking though and there aren't many cars currently being made that I would call bad. Lots of cars I don't like but that's purely because of taste etc. Thinking back 10 years though and there were loads of cars I could have named. Look at how much FIAt have come on for example when you think of the Punto and Marea available then. The Koreans and some of the usual suspects have really improved in this decade I think. But, if pushed, I'd say a 9-5 represents one of the worst new cars you could buy right now....

They're far less crap than your spelling, punctuation and grammar.

The new Grande Puntos are significantly more reliable than the old Puntos. They're also designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro which is far from a cheap designer.

But a thread like this wouldnt be complete without a Fiat bashing person who knows no better!

That said I must admit I was a passenger in a rental one & was surprisingly quick. Driver was a bit mental though

Some people may class it as competent, but after being a passenger in one, I think the Toyota Auris takes some beating.

Yep maybe but this car will probably see more beautiful russian ladies than our average european cars :-)
I am telling you, this car is a chicks magnet.







Well, almost

That Tiida yoke, I hate it oh so very much. I always hear people saying the name wrong or writing it wrong. Most common is the TILDA. Horrible, horrible, horrible car.


I hate these too, very small and annoying on the roads.


Also, I was behind one of these the other day, with its lights on. The car look depressed. The back lights make it look like it's frowning :P

Everytime I see one of those Ssangyong Hideous's, a little bit of sick comes up in to my mouth :mad:
