What cars do you have an irrational hatred for?

Stevie Dakota · 14-10-2010 01:36PM #1

If we are honest there are some cars that provoke unhealthy reactions, somewhat undeservedly. This one is mine -

Chrysler 300C (especially with the ‘Bentley’ grill) - No car typifies the brashness, one-upmanship and the stink of the Celtic Tiger more so than this yoke. It was never bought for it’s abilities, just for what it said about the owner. It’s blingness looks woefully out of place now, especially when parked outside a semi D in Dublin west. I cringe for the owners who probably are stuck with it forever, and will never, ever let one out of a junction.

Me bad.

Anything french bar the 205 gti

giant_midget · 14-10-2010 01:45PM

All Rovers except the 75 turbo diesel as that has a decent engine and box in it..

pajo1981 · 14-10-2010 01:45PM

prius?

I have a real hatrid for the Ka and the Yaris but I wouldnt call it irrational; I have driven both and how Ford and Toyota can actually get away with calling them cars is beyond me.

Im not sure I have an irrational hatred of any cars tbh. Any other cars I cant stand (Rover for example) is usually based on something (in the case of Rover its they are the worst heaps of **** ever constructed).

Audi Q7

To me it signifies obnoxiousness (the fcekin size of it), brashness or wannabe quite like it.

4 wheel drive Jeeps which are driven by yummy mummies to drop their children to school. I live in close proximity to a school and the majority of these so called responsible adults, double park, speed, stop dead in the middle of the road without any indication or notice about what their intention.

I have no problem with 4 wheel drive vehicles being used for a purpose (i.e. those that have a decent towbar fitted) as this is what 4 wheel Jeeps were designed for.

Sang Yong the whole model range the designers of that make should be shot

Small cars which have very weak engineering behind them, entry level kia and hyundais and the likes.

Kudos to Suzuki for the new swift isnt a half bad city car.

Agreed, anything by Ssanyong. I have fantasies about a Rodius and a sledge hammer. And don't get me started on the Dodge Nitro.

EPM · 14-10-2010 02:18PM

Skoda Octavia.

There, I said it:pac:

Zubeneschamali · 14-10-2010 02:19PM

I hate SUVs, but that's not irrational, all sensible people hate SUVs.

I don't hate saloons, but I don't see the point of them. Hatches, estates MPVs, coupés, two seater sports cars, I can see what they are about, but the 4-door, 4-bum, 4-sets-of-clubs-in-the-boot Merc or BMW saloon just seems pointless to me.

Vectras, but that's not an irrational hatred, since 95 they have been complete and utter dirt. I'd drive most things but a post 1995 Vectra I wouldn't look at, they are a f***tard mobile.

I'd take a pre 95 2.0 one no bother though.

lukester · 14-10-2010 02:37PM

All BMWs, but especially absolutely frickin' hate the X5, but even more so the X6. It looks like an X5 on steroids that's then been melted in the sun.

For similar reasons, the Porsche Cayenne, one of the fugliest cars ever.

Most Fords, especially the Mondeo. I think of Alan Partridge whenever I see one.

A lot of people hate these and i see where you are coming from...im past that stage of my life now :pac: but the old jap engines are built proof, I had a stock 4efte holding 215bhp all day long, amazed me how strong it was, even when pulled apart big ends and pistons and rods were fine.

neilthefunkeone · 14-10-2010 02:48PM

Prius.. just horrible..

micras.. Always a granny in the middle lane in one..

Bmw X series.. terrible looking things

All skoda's... all of them? Ehh yeah all of them!!! Especially the Octavia..

Where to stop?

PaddyFagan · 14-10-2010 02:51PM

Polo's - they just always seem to be driven by people who can't make progress.
(I know it's irrational!)

Berty · 14-10-2010 02:52PM

Pre 2000 Micras and their drivers.

Rexton Jeeps.

Rextons in General

Pre 1998 Astras and their drivers.

BMW X3(not a realy BMW, French made)

BMW 1 Series Hatch when driven by men.

Nissan Primera 2004+ What a horrible shape. If you dent the bonnet ridge your fvcked!!

Anything which is Paddy Spec

Protons? Why the hell did you buy it?

Fairly rational choice: Renault. Not a bad car but nobody will buy it back off of you making it an irrational choice of purchase.

The Recliner · 14-10-2010 02:54PM

I fuppin' hate Micras

This used to be irrational until I unfortunately ended up with one while my car was being repaired, horribly slow and hateful it was

I generally hate most Korean cars for being sh!te but they are improving and I dislike a lot of main stream cars for being bland and boring

Stevie Dakota · 14-10-2010 02:56PM

Range Rover is another one for me, when you hear one accelerating away from the lights you can hear the engine working so hard to shift that bulk, and there is always only ever one person in it. If it has low profile tyres on it then it really should be blown up.

I feel better already, this is really helping my rage issues.

racso1975 · 14-10-2010 02:56PM

Merc b and a range

Muckie · 14-10-2010 02:57PM

Beat up People carries- the mid-90's things.

Often driven recklessly. Hate seeing them coming

towards me. If your going to bus or carry your nearest

and dearset around, learn to drive properly!

SV · 14-10-2010 03:00PM

All Volkswagen TDIs.

Especially the golfs.The air of smugness about their drivers is something quite annoying!

Matt Simis · 14-10-2010 03:01PM

Just people carriers and vans and to a slightly lesser extent 4x4s and such that block my line of sight.

strange john · 14-10-2010 03:04PM

Toyota Avensis. Horrible to drive and not as reliable as most Toyota's. Also, BMW's with non-factory fitted body kits. Not because of the car, but because of the typical owner. Ohhhhhh...Contraversial!

Is this just because you could never afford one? Maybe your mad at not getting ahead during the Celtic Tiger?

I think they're totally AWESOME cars man.

What cars do you have an irrational hatred for?
