It's a toss-up here. I actually sat in the driver's seat of an acquaintance's Pontiac Sunfire. It actually felt worse than a Ford Tempo. I kid you not. At least the Tempo had semi-comfortable seats, and even though it had hard plastic, it didn't feel thin and chintzy like in the Fisher-Price Pontiac. The Cavalier is just as bad, since it's a clone anyway, it just looks less girly on the outside.

Basically, these are the kind of vehicles that people buy NOT because they want one, but because they had to settle for it due to money issues. They make a HUGE compromise. Nobody gets excited about these cars, except for my friend's 16 year old sister. And then once she rode in my car, she quickly changed her mind.

new beatle in any trim
pt loser in any trim

I don't get why people would buy these cars, but I can't say "I'd never own one or be seen in one" to them.

Jaguar X or S type. Either one. I don't get it. For that price point, they are bottom of the barrel. I get a loaner one of those a lot at service, and HATE them.

Most Saabs... (see above comments on Jag)

Any Buick. Yes... any and all Buicks. If you're younger than 74, why would you drive this?

Any non-Corvette or Truck Chevy. Had to toss that in. I hate plain Chevy's. I don't mind Vettes or their truck/SUV lineup. The rest are just cheap rental cars.

VW Phaeton... lol A $70k VW. Why? Why? Why?

Toyota Avalon... nice car, but in its price point... Soooo many nicer ones.

V6 Mustang... 'nough said.

Who are your Acura dealers? My one here always gives me very nice clean late-models. That's their entire loaner fleet. They're all clean automatics.
You usually get a TL unless you service enough in advance for a TSX.

yeah acura of marin usually gives me a 3rd gen TL
but i made the a boo boo ging to Mike Harvey this time. they have a deal with Hertz so i got this POS.

BTW to Anyone from the Bay Area: I love Marin Acura, Chad the sevice manager is great I should never have gone to Mike Harvey. Not because of the shitty loaner but the whorable service advisors there.

Don't mean to hijack this thread so I'll post a new when this nightmare is finally over.
