What car/s do you hate the most?

pj69pl · #1 (**permalink**) 12-29-2008, 06:51 PM

Recently I've been thinking of what cars I think are the biggest POS ever. How about you? What car do you hate the most? If you dislike one of the BMW's, please include (the guy with the alfa, please go away. Nobody likes you)
I'll start. I really dislike a lot of japanese cars, except the R33, S13, Evo, STI, and the supra. Also the new Smart is really ugly. Anyone care to keep the ball rolling?

ROFL, hasn't that guy been booted yet? HAHA

Anywho, ummm..... I hate riced out civic's (the four door that the Korean gangsters drive in Gran Torino would be a good example), any car with underglow, anything American-made after the late sixties, Oldsmobile Cutlass (this is the car that rear-ended/totaled my very first car), donks/bubbles and anything with 2 doors and over 20" wheels. There's lots more, but these are the first that came to my mind...

Well, Gran Torino (IMHO) was a little over-hyped. It's not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, and overall I would recommend it. Eastwood was his usual (albeit EXTREMELY racist) self: grumpy, tough, hard, and generally translated well to his character. The major drawback was the entire supporting cast. For some reason, the casting director thought that Eastwood could carry the entire movie himself. He is a great actor, but he couldn't really make up for the mediocrity that surrounds him in the film. The plot is pretty cool though, and the ending is perfect, so I would easily recommend it to you.

Hmmm lets see. Rovers are usually plagued with electrical problems but damn I love them so much! When it comes down to it I will probably get a TLC instead. Lincoln LS/Jaguar X-Type are pretty bad. Electrical gremlins are the main complaint thus making the resale value plummet. Most Chrysler/Dodge products drop in value quick but that's not saying they are all POS's. I have heard that some Merc's have alot of problems. My friend is a dealer and he had a 02 S430 a while back and spent a fortune to get it right and ended up losing money on it in the end. That's all I can thimk of for now...

Can you please validate your statement as to why the Civic needs to be terminated? Please don't use the rice line, use something valid. The Civic is superb when it comes to bang for the buck, maintenance costs, lifespan etc. I think the OP wants us to list cars that are genuine POS's meaning they have things wrong with them to make them POS's...

Totally agree with Dskeet. I love honda's they are smooth running. To me the only thing wrong with the civic is it's uncomfortable. But I had three flawless honda's. I do love bimmers now, but I don't hate on well made auto's

Nice to know there are some other enthusiasts like me on here that can appreciate a good car no matter the case. I have owned 3 Honda's myself and they ran great. I'm not saying I would go back to one since I love BMW's now but I know they are awesome cars as far as maintenance goes and stuff like that.

it's an economy car not a race car. many people seem to think it was built to go fast. in the economy sense it's a great car, low maintenance, cheap, good gas mileage etc. i have no problem with the cars but when people put loud exhausts and wings on them i can't help but laugh.

The Prius. Not that I'm anti-green, but many of the owners are smug toward the "rest of us", no matter what we drive. They find out I have a race car and immediately assume I don't care about the environment, blah, blah, blah.
