Ok, not a particularly serious thread. I don't expect them all to vanish but ffs who on earth invented these awful cars and thought they were a good idea? Where I live a couple up the road have one and it is so noisy you can hear it from what seems like miles away. They drive it even on ridiculously short distances and always look so chavvy proud when they are in it. I feel an inner seething whenever I see it because it honestly deafens me when they drive past. They don't look good, they don't sound good and according to a friend they are bloody uncomfortable and guzzle petrol like there is no tomorrow.

Will anyone own up to having one / liking them I wonder? Grin

You don't get a Scooby, evo, skyline, cossie etc for comfort and fuel efficiency. You get one to have fun in & to release your inner chav. Grin

YABU.

I would love one. I've been trying to convince DP that we ought to get one as the family car. Or an RX8.

He's having none of it though.

As we're talking about cars built for fun, I have an MX-5. It's (obviously) tiny but has a 1.8l engine so goes like the proverbial of a shovel. Every day she gives me a little joy. I love her :)

With that attitude, I feel sorry for your Mother.

sweetgilly · 01/04/2011 17:22

Erm...Sorry, was meant for the Mothers day thread. Oh dear.

We have a 2.5 V6 vectra sri. We would love it if it sounded like a Scooby. Petrol consumption is equivalent as to how far you put your foot down (not good for lead boots!) Dd is four and learnt to say faster daddy , faster at a very early age. Unlike the new Evo it also has a boot you can use. Dh would love to take it round a track, alas the poor old thing is twelve this year and an everyday car. It has been on a rolling road though and pulls a lot more bhp than standard !
