Worst Cars of the 2000s!!!!

Talk about great minds... I was off to the Dodge section for a pic of the Nitro...

We must be on to something here...

Here's something that would definitely be on my list:

Really? Would you consider the Vectra to be that bad? I see it as nondescript and repmobile-ish but certainly not in the league of Worst of the 2000's.

From personal experience, yes. I've had the misfortune to drive several Vectras from the late-80s Vectra A to the Vectra C as pictured, and to be completely honest I'd say the A is the best drive of the lot. The B was truly horrific (engine characteristics, gearbox...) when they first launched it and merely adequate after they'd fixed most of what was wrong with it. The C didn't seem to improve on the B in any way. It was still a car I couldn't wait to get out of. I can't think why anyone would have bought one instead of, say, a Passat or a Mondeo. To me, the Vectra simply didn't have any redeeming features.

LOL - and it took you 3 generations to learn your lesson?

I didn't say I drove those cars out of choice.

The Z4 was not soo bad but i really hated the interior. It had a very untraditional BMW interior and just didnt flow well.

I actually think it's one of the best V1.0 bangle interiors, it has a very strong aero theme where everything is fluid, simple, elegant and clean, something they tried with the 5er and 3er but relatively failed to achieve. Hell i even think that i prefer that interior to the new one. The baddest BMW interior is without the shadow of a doubt the X3's, as for the 3er ti, yeah it's also one of my least loved bmw.

Worst car of 2000s ever my a**. You are just badly influenced by your buddy Mockenrue.

Well it is far better looking then the A-class!

Now an ugly car looks like

Z4 of the previous generation isn't really ugly I think, but tastes are different.
Nevertheless totally agree with you seeing both other cars. But even worse is this:

 

[HighestOfHigh]

^Especially the one with the wood on the outside.

 

[martinbo]

No frikken way man! You can't post stuff like that on a public forum. My eyes.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Martin you should try it out. I hear the PT Cruiser is a real performer.

 

[Shining Star]

This Aveo tops my list, closely followed by the Smart...

10. Pontiac Aztek
2001-2005



The Aztek was criticized for the duration of its life for its ghastly styling.

I remember jokingly telling a driver who just got out of one in the parking lot of a mall..."I sure hope you got a $10,000 ugly vehicle discount".

Laughing, he blurted out, "Its not mine; its a rental".
