8 Cars I Never Want To Own

Being a petrolhead means that there are hundreds of cars that I want to own at some point in my life (Z3 M coupe included). There are also cars that I never want to own, however, so let's concentrate on those today...

1. Mazda RX-8

8 Cars I Never Want To Own

Oh boy, I’m going to have to go into hiding after you see this one, but the reason for this decision is simple: I’ll never be 100 per cent confident about taking it on a really long road trip, and for me, reliability is crucial.

2. Lexus CT200h

I proudly shop at Lidl, and for that reason, I believe that there’s nothing worse than dressing up a car (in this case a Prius) with an expensive suit and charging loads more for it. The Aston Martin Cygnet is another example, and we all know what happened to that.

3. Nissan R35 GT-R

They’re obnoxiously fast and truly remarkable to some, but I don’t like the fact that any idiot can drive one fast: it’s just too capable. I also don’t like the fact that their gearboxes are fragile and often troublesome, as we found out during a drag race battle with an R34 Skyline.

4. Any modern Vauxhall

Because I like any modern Ford equivalent better. (Nota Bene: Lotus Carlton and VX220…yes please!).

5. Suzuki Wagon R+

Because Ethan owns one, and he likes football more than he likes cars (sub-human).

6. Nissan Figaro

I don’t care how cool MCM might have made the Figaro…I just couldn’t live with the fact that my car looked like a Smeg fridge. There’s also a UK celebrity, Vanessa Feltz, who owns/owned one, and I have an irrational fear of that lady.

7. Renault Clio V6

Now here’s a car that I’d love to drive for a week or so, but to own? Hell no. The reason for this one is that I know, just know that its short wheelbase and RWD will mean that I’ll crash it badly and probably implode on impact.

8. Any Lamborghini

I know I’ll get loads of hate on this one, and that’s ok, but Lamborghinis have never hit the mark with me. I don’t aspire to own one because I see them more as a status symbol rather than an emotional purchase. Give me an old BMW with a cool engine swap any day of the week.
