The cars you love to hate..

[Bling]

yeah at least with 20vs its the hard truth!

I voted honda, only because I wanted to take part in the vote tho

They aren't that bad, just often make more noise than needed

[B1NZ]

Haha at hondas winning the vote, that was so going to happen on here.

I voted Holdens, But I mean all Aussie built tanks, they are just boats that are soooo overated. They seem to be a decade behind in interior comfort and styling.
At least Ford have built good cars in the past I suppose.

Is it just me or do people seem to hate cars that are faster than theirs?

[Alex B]

BMW/Merc.

Noise = fast, even I know that

That's why my KP took down Ferrari's when I was running open headers. So quick.

Lol my sentiments exactly.. Newer Holdens and Fords wallow around the round.. (except im yet to meet a road going Holden or Ford quicker than my Bat).

Haha yeah though they are big family barges at the end of the day. Its a safe bet with a semi-decent Jap turbo car you're not going to have much trouble with those, except one day I came across an XR6-Turbo with an XR8 bonnet and a Unichip badge on the back of it that seemed keen for a play. Car wasn't tuned, but I sniffed around and found out the thing has around 400kw @ wheels.

I don't know how played with your car is, but the turbo Falcons are worth being weary of

Im running standard boost.. with the standard turbo's.. not much done really.. But it runs well

Sounds like an interesting falcon.. Should invite him along to the Trackday

What about Eurotrash?
Like VW, Audi, Merc, Opel, Peugeot, Seat, Skoda, well you get my point - basically plastic fantastic shit that people are ready to pay a lot $$$ despite they are far better off with Shitsubishi.

Least hated [European crap] by me is the Porsche and some of the BMW (the ones with the bigger engine).
Exotic cars are not included.

Reason why I hate them - they cost a lot of money, unreliable, expensive to fix, drive horribly, many of them still use 2valve pushrod engines, electrics are shocking, interior is shocking - creaks and rattles at every bump, lots of bits that break should be metal but for some reason are plastic, and there are some numbnuts who claim they are the greatest thing in the world...

[sergei]

Oh btw I don't hate russian/korean/romanian/american/british/etc cars because every one knows they are rubbish in first place, and don't have that image of being supreme...

Thats one hell of a list there Sergei.. But then i'd rather have a new Porsche than a Ferrari so exotic cars could be included too (i mean look at Maserati - ugly, badly engineered cars ewww)

[Snoozin]

I'd love a Maserati Bi-Turbo. So awesome, twin turbo V6's in the mid-late 80's ftw. Who cares if they sporadically combust. Would park it in the shed next to my slammed Triumph 2500TC.

I despise Fords and Holdens too much to even vote for them (though at least Ford have a couple of turbo cars). So it has to be Subaru. Why?: They're everywhere, they sound shit, they make any other turbo car look economical in fuel consumption, they're not that fast, and NONE are even half as fast as their owners believe. Typical fri night scenario: White wrx pulls up next to me at lights, occupants point and laugh at my "girls car", lights go green and I murder them. Next stop lights they wind up their windows in shame and pretend not to look.

You obviously havn't driven STIs. Not that I like Subaru. Also most of WRX owners can't drive and/or have mods that actually slow down the car.

[touge rolla]

I do like the later model (V7+) WRX's, and RA's aren't half bad either but I had to hate one of them. And as you say few Subaru drivers can drive and the chromes, subs and clear taillights are getting them nowhere

Cumon.. The chromes and subs must reduce weight and drag.. Surely..

Not gonna comment on clear tail lights.. Ew

Im not a huge fan of Suby's either.. But Toyota does own some of Subaru..

[Adamal]

I'd say FWD Honda's. Mainly cause I just don't like FWD But I couldn't say no to an S2000 or an NSX!

[Quirky]

Toyota

reason they are everywhere, they were one of the most popular cars of the 90's! Good value for money performance.
How's 650km's from a tank of gas in a V4 STI (approx $80) for economy? It's all about how you drive them.
IMO they sound great, You should also know that the version 8 onwards don't have the rumble as they have equal length headers.
Ever driven a stock STI of any vintage? you may be pleasantly surprised

You like the V7? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeew!! Bugeyes are sickening

I went from driving an AE111 20V Levin, to a V4 STI, I know it's not as fast as my old 20V
