Car you've been most dissapointed in

A 1974 Vega I once owned.

 

And here I thought you would say anything with 8cyls

 

1994 Bmw 325is

 

The re, er... unvamped GTO.

 

new C Class, circa 2001- returned as Lemon 2 weeks after delivery.

 

Honda Prelude, last generation made.

I loved almost everything about the car, except the feel of front wheel drive. It was my first and last FWD car.

 

rx-8

 

C6 Z06

 

512 ...underbraked and underpowered with lazy handling but glorious sound at redline

 

If "Most disappointed" implies expecting a lot and getting very little, my biggest letdown ever: a new 88 Coutach.

 

2002 MB CLK55 ///AMG.

RMX

 

My dad's 2000 Ford Explorer 2-door. I didn't have very high expectations of the thing to begin with, but that thing sucks. No matter how much time I spend maintaining my family's cars, my dad's is always suffering from some mechanical malady because he runs his cars into the ground. BUT, this thing is the worst SUV I have ever driven; it gets stuck on the most minor of obstacles and the front end couldn't pull that thing out of an outhouse. My little 2002 Escape 4X4 with the BFG Mud Terrains is a far more versatile vehicle and with 4 doors, my dad loves it and has, on occasion, tried to "trade" me his Explorer for my Escape.

Sorry, Dad. No deal.

 

I tend to agree. C5's all the way up. People say it's a great car, one of the best Corvettes they've driven, but I don't find it all what its cracked up to be. After driving the 'new' Corvettes, I have found it's the most sterile, condescending, politically correct, Caddy-like handling sports car I've ever driven. I'm not critiquing it's power, but the overall experience was nothing short of a luxury sedan lowered to the ground. To better understand where I'm coming from, I think I have been one of the few lucky ones to have driven several Ferrari's prior and when I take that 'experience' and step into GM's mighty car, I have to say, it's quite the contrast. And as the topic says, it left me... dissapointed.

 

Do they make any other 5 series besides the 540 manual and the M5?

Wow, I learned something new!

I understand your disappointment much better now!

Three way tie

BMW E36 M3/4 - Lemon
Lexus GS300 - not enough power, no steering feel
Porsche 964 Carrera 4 - too bland

 

Lexus GX470.....utter piece of crap in my mind.

Superformance S1.

I'll leave it to the Superformance losers to tell their version of the story, despite the fact that they have no first-hand information.

 

Hands down Audi A4 1.8T. It is soooo boring. I can't stand driving it. The Alfa is being worked on, so it is the "thing" that I'm driving for a while. It may be better if it was a stick, but I'm not so sure...

 

RX-8

"It won't burn oil we promise!"

As an RX-7 entusiast I knew better.

It's not even very fast.

 

Mom's '03 MB E-class....lousy handling, cheap interior, bad seat for my bum.

 

Not one I owned but I was heartbroken by when I went to look at it, Lotus Esprit. I don't see how I could drive that thing.

 

LMOA!

 

1991 audi 90 20valve sedan. Fell apart in my hands.
