Overrated cars

[YeLo]

Are there cars that you see daily on South African roads that you think don’t deserve all the hype they receive? Cars that are all bark but no bite compared to the competition. Please share your thoughts.

Minibus Taxis
Why do they feel the need to go as fast as an F1 car is just bizarre?
Overrated

VW Polo wins this one I reckon

Someone said to me the Golf GTI is an overrated car. I honestly had to throw up my breakfast from last week.

Cruisers across the range vs time are among, if not the best.

 

[Dups!]

Audi

 

[RonSwanson]

BMWs, all of them. I consistently fail to see what the great attraction is.
And Audis, especially the SUVs.

I heard the 320d is a poef car

Mercedes c class. There is so much plastic in the new one it's a disgrace

Golf GTI

Nothing wrong with Q7’s! Its a 5 star hotel, build like a tank. Powerful, but yet very much enjoyable. Such an awesome drive!

After 12 years, I still get goosebumps starting her!

I am happy for you.

For me, that's part of the problem. If I wanted/ needed a tank, I'd buy (a real) one.

Respectfully, mr Swanson, have you ever driven a true M-car such as E46 M3 or E39 M5?

I largely agree with you regarding most BMWs past say 2008, even E90s are pretty horrible. However the M-cars from the late 90s through late 00s are true drivers' cars.

any "entry-level" German luxury sedan with less than 160kw of power

i.e. the BMW 3 series, Mercedes C-class and Audi A4

have only ever seen posers drive that trash, they're overpriced, not fun to drive and hence overrated
if you drive any of those with a 4 cylinder engine I'm judging you hard
