WAZ91 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So whilst ol' Avalon is in haveing a new clutch and flywheel I have the (dis)pleasure of the courtesy car.... This is quite possibly the worst car i have driven! no power no guts and it looks like poo! (I showed the maternity staff at the hospital my mum works at and they agreed it looks like a month olds !Removed!) It got me thinking, What is the most garish colour car you have seen?

WAZ91 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 That Adam and the 500 look the same or are they both Adam's? I have driven an Adam (1.2 i think) and it wasnt too bad better than the fiesta in my opinion as i had more legroom and found it easier yto get a decent driving position.

Marks12 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Get your pitchforks ready folks, we have a serious traitor here ;) "Acquires waz's head through sniper scope waiting for the green light to pull trigger'' I hired a fiesta out in lanzarote same problem no poke but was comfortable to drive I liked it other than the lack of power I see I think it's the same across the board most hire cars or courtesy cars would lack in the power department I don't know if they have a restriction on power or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you can use 100% of the power 100% of the time in a rental, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAZ91 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Defo the cheapest engine on the ugliest colour! Was scared to overtake on the motorway cause it took jeffing ages to pick up speed! Thankfully I have ol' Avalon back now so back to my usual turbo powered self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would seriously question what was wrong with my life, if I had to drive this... A brown, diesel people carrier that is probably powered more but the wind than by its engine. This is the definition of pure misery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisroberson99 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ahem! I think you'll find PSA cars are more reliable than the German tripe, so be quiet. :P Plus it gives the car a little bit of character. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find PSA cars are more reliable than the German tripe, so be quiet. :P Plus it gives the car a little bit of character. :P My uncle owns a 12-reg diesel Jetta, and although it's not my cup of tea, it's never had any problems (seems built pretty well tbh), where the two previous French cars in my family have been nothing but trouble. Horrible cars that should have never been purchased (not my decision to, I tried convincing to get a Volvo instead). Constant engine management faults, central locking issues, random engine cut-outs when entering busy roundabouts, screeching brakes, horrible jolty gearboxes just to name a 'few' issues.

chrisroberson99 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We had the opposite! All the French cars in our family have been very reliable. We had two Audis, one was rejected back to Audi and one set itself on fire. I love the quirkiness of most French cars, it's nice to be different. ;) I'd rather drive a 20 year old Peugeot that stunk of cheese than a new Golf DIEsel though. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Haha, black owner here, but tempted to go white or silver for my next car. I did actually want a white one with appearance pack but the black one came up cheap and im glad now as white Focus' are very popular around my area and i hardly see any in black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Another one thats aweful is the red that vauxhall used to/may still use that would turn pink with age where the sun bleaches it. Plenty a Zafira with red side and a pale pink roof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
