What Car Would You Be Too Embarrassed To Drive?

Mr.Boots

Like the title....what would you not drive?
I dont mean pink Minis or badly modified Puntos.
I mean off the shelf cars.

To start off....

Old Kia Rio
Range Rover Sport
Audi Q7
Hummer
Chevy Matiz

Skoda Octavia

Any model of Kia - has about as much class as a stale bottle of Ritz.

Even something as hideous as this?

mike65

Any of those Japanese "Cubeoid" cars, any of those strange cars which feature a psudo Rolls Royce/Jaguar type front end tacked onto a Nissan Micra/etc. Small french covertables.

It is pointless in my opinion. I can't think about a single reason why someone would buy it instead of anything else. It does nothing better that other cars do.

Mr.Boots

BMW X's are a bit cringe allright.
Bently Continentals are a bit "Fake Tan Man" also.

I'm not that picky but I'd draw the line at a Hyundai Atoz, Daewoo Matiz or a Ssangyong Rodius!

I'd probably drive most cars to be honest unless it was a horrific colour like that pink micro convertible. :eek:

I can't think of anything, seeing as I've driven some right heaps of sh!te in my time.

It dosnt have to be a heap of sh1te to be embarrassing...

I can't believe nobody has said it already - Micra. Above all others.

Ssanyyong Hideous would be high on the list also - but at least it has some sense to it, if not style.

I'd hate to drive a Passat, Octavia or Focus etc, stuff that are really common place. Wouldn't be embarrassed as such but I'd hate it.

_Kaiser_

I was given a black "bubble" Micra one time when my Passat was in for servicing for the day - only thing they had (and I DID ask/beg!! )

Anyway, I had to go back to work and coming into Ratoath from the old N3, some dumbass cut me off on the roundabout so I instinctively leaned on the horn - only to hear a very pitiful beeeeep (not quite the "manly" horn of my own car ) and yer man giving me an odd look!

Never again!!!

I did also get an imported Suzuki Swift to drive one time, and I have to say for what it was - it wasn't bad.. electric windows all round, climate control etc... yea it was cheap but not as bad as the Micra!

Still as Dorothy said, "there's no place like home!"

Yeah, they are ugly as hell...

Another embarrassing heap for me would be the Fiat Multipla, Toyota Yaris Verso or Renault Megane II.

Already had to drive a cringe worthy car. A bright yellow Mini One belonging to an ex girlfriend she used call it "bumble bee"!

I have driven a few hire Smarts, great fun.
The convertible is very nice, I'd have it any day, though not in pink.;)

I wouldnt be embarrased to drive anything or sit in it. I often thought isnt your mans cars a right heap but then you need a spin home from the pub some night its pissing rain and suddenly the heap is damm fine.

I have driven top end luxury cars to bangers in the last few years and it dont bother me at all.

johnos1984

Not really bothered if I can find something to like I'd drive anything.

Now if I'd own it for a long time is a different matter

I dunno about that, no way would I be embarrassed, I could see myself in a e45 or an e39 M car no bother at all.

taintabird

anything made by Hyundai, Kia or Daewoo really

I'd feel seriously old if I had to drive a Mercedes luxo barge, wouldn't be embarrassed just about twenty five years too young.

Most certainly would not drive anything modified especially if it was scangerised.

My sisters car was in the garage once and she was given a Fiat Cinquecento, I almost died laughing when I saw her in it and the lads in the garage had ripped the piss out of her to take it easy on the corners and she had the groceries spread across the back seat, in the front and in the boot, for weight distribution as the lads told her! Oh man how we laughed at her! Still she thought it was dinky!
