Chav Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 because its ugly? no other reason. its a small car with good dynamics. but it looks awful! (and its overpriced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loddrik Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 It makes me laugh when people say cars are 'overpriced', it'll sell like hotcakes so how can it be overpriced, if something was 'overpriced', it wouldn't sell. look at Mercs, they are very expensive compared to the competion, but you could never call them overpriced as they sell well.

Ritey Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Not too common down in Portsmouth so only seen a couple, but the ones I have seen didn't appear to be that bad, big alloys, both black (not the same car ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnifa1 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Have to agree I'm afraid, the styling is terrible, it looks like it has a broken back from some angles and is sagging in the middle, it really makes you wonder who gives the final OK to go ahead with such an ugly design!!

shao_khan Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I am sure I saw a 3dr one the other day - are they available yet or could it have been a press car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Have you visited an optician yet SK? 1 Series BM's can cause nasty eye injuries if you look at them with the naked eye. Best get the peepers checked out just to be on the safe side mate!. By the way, I thought I saw a 3 door the other day. I didn't know they were being released after the 5 door?

[/ QUOTE ] usually when people buy a car they see one they like. it goes something like this... "yep, that does what i want, looks cool, price is right, bla bla..." but with some cars we are now expected to say.... "well this one isnt that bad looking, here's my 25,000 pounds Mr. salesman" they're not getting my money! <--- emphasised no no!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's hideous. Even if you put a 3.0L under the bonnet, it is still at the bottom of the league table of chavmobiles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I have to say I am not a major fan by a long shot. Its tiny inside and except for the fact that it has rear wheel drive has nothing that is really special about it. Its tiny inside. It even gets critisied for having a terrible ride aswell. But it is differnet and I for one can't stand it when cars were starting to all look the same. It may not win a beauty contest any time soon but thats my opinion. Other people may thing it looks great. As with everything with cars some people like the strangest things, the world would be boring if we all liked the same things.

[/ QUOTE ] not true!! the whole finance/PCP boom has made even 20K cars affordable to a lot of people. hence the market for "premium hot hatches".... the lower the depreciation , the more affordable the monthly payments. fear it! this is only the beginning. the X1 will be here soon <-- big fecking nono!!
