And yet this was in multiple Gran Turismo games. Apparently most German and Italian sports cars are not good enough for Gran Turismo, but Voltz is!

Normally putting a BMW engine in a JLR product would be a reliability improvement… except the N63 V8. One of BMW’s best performing, yet least reliable, modern engines. I think the timing chain issues on early models are resolved but I don’t trust the N63… And I daily drive a 150k mile, JB4 chipped N55.

Dampers on the trunk are broken on my 5 series. If I press the trunk release button the trunk flies open with such speed and force that i think it’s going to fly over the roof of the car. I never fixed it because I just hold the trunk as I open it

Wheels that were too large. Looked great, handled great… but I live in Chicago and was CONSTANTLY replacing bent/cracked wheels and tires due to our garbage roads.

The Talbot-Matra Rancho. Performance doesn’t always mean power, acceleration and handling. In this case, the Rancho desperately needed some off-road performance to back up its macho looks. Launched in the late 70s, the Rancho was built on the Renault 1100 supermini-sedan chassis and only offered FWD and 80 horsepower.

“One bad apple” effect. They’re worried this guy will ruin the party for everyone. Which is a fair concern 

I would say the 4.3l RWD Silverado and the first gen Escape from the early 2000s were worse with manuals. Neither one was an engaging vehicle - purely utilitarian, so they were more appropriate with autos.

Jesus, eliminate the tips and raise driver wages by 18%. Then if your order is fucked up or late or missing, the app can deduct it from the restaurant or driver, depending on who’s at fault. Currently drivers are losing cash bc of restaurants messing up orders.

Ford Windstar. Truly one of the worst products to come out of the blue oval. The only purpose the Windstar served was making the (also horrible) GM Minivans look good in comparison.

The Kwid is popular in many countries and is an absolute tin can.

I just saw one this week getting new tires at Costco. Knowing how rare it is, I geeked out. The tire techs were not impressed 

I think you’re forgetting something very important - being poor in the US is really expensive.

No dice because it still looks to be well abused.

Yeah it’s not a reliable car in general, but a 5 Year / 60k mile warranty is a huge comfort for people living paycheck to paycheck. Unexpected auto repairs can throw finances for a family like that into chaos.

I have also been personally victimized by Hertz computer systems.

381 HP from 2.0L is impressive… but don’t the Z4 and 840i get similar MPG and power from a 3.0 straight 6? Undoubtedly a more reliable engine than an F1 derived, future-tech, hyperstressed 4 cylinder.

Don’t poor shame people. We all know why people bought this. It was always dramatically cheaper than any other 7 seater. And with the insane markup on anything new these days, a leftover 2019 Journey is probably 30% to 50% cheaper than anything else on the lot.

It was unthroned by the newer, safer and more comfortable Chevy Onix in Latin American sales.

The only one that seems logical is the 911. Idk the exact spec, but you can easily add $50k in options to a 911. That “base price” for a 911 Turbo S is nowhere near the average transaction price. Depending on the options, $20k over MSRP might be a fair price.
