Go ahead. Admit it. You like something that the rest of the world will never understand. Here’s your chance to confess to the world.

I’ve always loved the Daewoo Nubira hatch. It was only sold in the US for one model year, 1999. But at the time there were almost no 5-door hatches for sale, and the 5-door hatchback is my spirit animal.

Because of this I also sort of like the Suzuki Reno. But my brother-in-law had one and it was a piece of shit, so I don’t like it as much as the Nubira.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

We had one. It was fun. My partner is sad that he traded it for our Elantra.

As much as I love my FiST, I still kind of regret not getting one of these.

Drive it hard, add oil, don’t give it synthetic, and redline it often. It will be fine.

Is that the coupe SUV or am I thinking x5? That “coupe” doesn’t look very practical but it sure is striking. Didn’t the M version have the widest rear production tires at one point..?

I quite like my 2009 Hyundai Accent hatch, despite it being a base model with no features, plus Korean ecobox!

For a candy that 99% of the population hates with a passion, they sure do makes a lot of it

Just one? I can probably do this for each brand (or entire brands).

We’ll start with this:

The pre-facelift frogeyed Fiat Multipla/Rover James, a car that has received much derision over the years. Now considered by some to be something of a significant/milestone design, so maybe I am not alone.

I came close to getting one of those, but it would have been a bad financial choice. I ended up getting a Ford Ranger later on and I wish I still had it.

Yeah, the X5 is the SUV the coupe thing has the down swept rear entry

Mine was great. Except for the air bags, the torque converter, the random CEL; wait never mind.

.

Volkswagen Ameo, a subcompact sedan produced and sold in India, designed specifically not to exceed 4m in length (and with engines below a certain displacement) so as to fit into the lower tier of excise duty. I like the blocky proportions, and I dare say this looks better than the Fiesta sedan or Mirage G4 sold in the U.S.

This would be a good counter to the Mirage.

15-17 Camry SE Hybrid:

I’ve driven many of them. The inside is a nice place to be and the outside doesn’t look bad. Plus 45 mpg and better seats than the 18 that replaces it.

Candy corn is the Nickelback of candy - popular and commercially successful, despite everybody apparently hating it.

True story: when i went to buy my first car, it was a tossup between the five-year-old Honda Accord with 120k on the clock, and a brand new Suzuki Esteem. Funny thing is, the Esteems on the Isuzu lot cost less than the Accord at the used dealer.

Twingo.
Despite its small size, weird styling, underpowered motor, it fit the four of us (all adults) plus luggage for a week-long vacation in the Mediterranean. And I learned driving on one.
Plus you could slide the backseat back and forth, for added leg-room.

I get what the 1996 Ford Taurus was trying to do, styling-wise, and while I can’t say I like it, I understand it - it’s a far more cohesive design than people give it credit for. (The wagon looks phoned in, though.)

The Wartburg 353 Tourist completely does it for me. The proportions are pretty amazing, and while it’s boxy, it’s not lacking styling (it helps that they were made in actual colors):

First generation Pontiac Trans Sport. This was the minivan from my childhood, in a handsome dark blue color, exactly like this one:

We put gobs of miles on it, road tripping to Idaho, Maine, and Florida, and every point in between. It was given to a pastor friend when it topped 200k miles, and he drove it another 100k miles. It refused to die.

My parents loved it so much in fact, that they bought the next generation as well. While it had the bullet proof 3800 V6, everything else fell apart, including one of the driver’s seat mounting bolts. It was thereafter dubbed the rock and roll van since that pretty much summed up the driving experience.

We had a Dodge caravan loaner when my mom got rear ended in the blue first gen, and the interior just wasn’t as nice, and the headroom wasn’t as good, which was important to a family of 6'5" minimum guys.

I’ve never understood the hate for the dust buster, unless people lump in the subsequent generations. The first one was great, and my mom still sings it’s praises.

I really do like the ‘96 Taurus.
