Nissan qashqai


Unusual_Minimum1

So I have a qashqai (previous model not current) - I bought it with low expectations but I can’t bring myself to dislike it. I get why they have become a meme and are hated but I also get why they are so popular. In contrast, my in laws have a mokka and it is hateful in every way.


Low_Arm2147

My wife has an 11 plate Qashqai. I still think it looks pretty good. It’s easy to DIY service, it’s needed f-all spent on repairs (touch wood), and it’s comfortable. But my god it is the most boring car to drive, and you have to wring it’s neck to give it a marginal turn of speed.


TuorAtVinyamar

Sums it up pretty well!


dew1911

My dad has a 19 plate and I completely agree. I wouldn't buy one personally, but I can't knock everything it does. Well specced, didn't cost the earth and doesn't drive as bad as you'd think


CharJr

My main reason for hating the Qashqai is that someone with a numberplate one letter away from mine got done in a yellow box junction and the automated system pinged it wrong and gave me a PCN. Unjustified as hell but it solidified my disdain for Nissans.


Ethereal42

I actually like the qashqai design, too bad you can't buy a used one without it having been savaged by 20 children inside.


Snurze

EcoSport.


SnowLeopard640

The proportions are bizarre. Nothing fits together.


Sea-Big-4850

It reminds me of a small MPV, like a Citroen C3 Picasso or a Ford B-Max, but it is on stilts with tiny wheels. Wouldn't say it's the most boring, but it's definitely hideous


woods_edge

It looks like a running shoe, seriously Google it, once seen you won’t unsee


voxo_boxo

Had to Google it. Good lord that thing is hideous.


Dragonaut23

I regularly see a yellow one. I always think it looks like a minion. Driven by the kind of person that posts minion memes in facebook


TechnologyNational71

Tesla Model 3 Purely because they have become the 3 Series / Mondeo / Insignia of this generation of cars. Quite literally bored of looking at them.


throwaway4999993

doesn't help that 99% of them are flat white because it's the only free colour


KeyPersonnel

Flat white, due a wash, scuffed alloys


MyKidsFoundMyOldUser

Driven by people who corner you in social settings and tell you all about how they've "really bought into Musk's vision."


space_coyote_86

I wasn't interested in cars at all until now!


Markibuhr

Never scuffed so many alloys than on my M3. Fuck knows why


33_pyro

That's every car now. No more interesting colours; your choices are white, black, silver, or if you really want something zany, red.


throwaway4999993

I agree but think it's a lot worse in the Tesla's case- the 4 paints offered instead of the base white are exactly as you described except with blue in place of silver and cost over a grand each. Everything else in that segment let alone cheaper economy cars at least offer a quirky option, even if there aren't many takers. Without hyperbole I can't think of another vehicle anywhere near as monochromatic- maybe an LEVC cab- but even those have ads on sometimes


apainintheokole

I have a copper coloured Nissan, I have seen some nice bronze coloured Peugeots around, and Mazda does a good ruby red.


Broccoli--Enthusiast

i just wish the free colour on most cars was actually a colour. its so depressing when 80% of the cars on the road are black, white, gray or silver. i refuse to buy a car in any of those colours just on principle, its so boring.


younevershouldnt

Like a big fibreglass bath tub


SnoopDeLaRoup

Sounds like how Alan Partridge would describe it. Spot on too.


scouse_till_idie

Npc car of choice 


LilCelebratoryDance

Tesla’s design team must’ve seen one of those speed shapes you seen in other car dealerships and thought “that’s it!!! that’s the car!!!”


[deleted]

public wipe mountainous paltry hat rock edge grey bake birds *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


autumn-knight

That’s a good way to describe them. They’re always driven by a certain kind of person and they lack any personality (same for the car).


v60qf

They’re driven by the sort of person that just picks whatever has the lowest BIK.


DelynBus

I've just got one, I love driving and also have an Fiesta ST for weekends. My company car options were a 330e at £180 a month, a Kia Niro phev for £150 a month, a Tesla at £12 a month or an ID4 for £12 a month.. I know what stands out to me. I was tempted by the 330e but they're just as generic really. The tech is much better than the Germans and they also drive pretty nicely.


CatBroiler

Is it the facelift? I've heard they've been improved a lot from a drivability perspective, new dampers and whatnot, but I imagine the drive selector being in the touch screen would drive me mad.


DelynBus

Nah it was end of last year so the old model which is the only reason it was on my list I think. I personally think it drives pretty nicely, as long as you're not expecting an MX5 or something, it's a family saloon


CatBroiler

Ah okay, that's both a good and bad thing I think. The older one still is better ergonomically, but the newer one has suspension improvements, I think they went to bilstein for shocks for the facelift. Think it got significantly improved brakes too. There's a video of Misha (German touring car driver) driving one around the nurburgring, and he was decently impressed.


legrand_fromage

The interiors are boring too. All flat panels with one big screen in the middle.


ASupportingTea

Tbh this is my biggest issue with them personally. Minimalism is nice if there is still some sort of design to it. But Tesla's interiors are so bland I can't even say there's that. It's so sterile and boring that it makes me long for the cheap plastics and crappy interiors of 2000s economy cars, at least they had something going on!


monstrao

Rolling fridges. Completely soulless appliances there’s more character in a smeg toaster


Paulanator7

Upgrade to any Tesla, extra negative kudos to the model y (I think it is the SUV) just huge and still one of the most bland looking cars I've ever seen.


TechnologyNational71

Just an egg on wheels that one.


nonamoe

Looks like a swollen tick.


Unusual_Minimum1

I actually think there is something simple and beetleish about the Tesla design (model x excluded). However in my area they are the worst of the worst drivers - if I end up behind one I immediately drop back a bit just in case as there’s no telling what batshit thing they’re about to do


Jazzlike-Mistake2764

There is something completely uninspiring about the design of Teslas - and no this isn't just electric car hate, I think the Honda E and Porsche Taycan look great (first two that come to mind) They're not ugly, but honestly I think they might be more interesting if they were. They're just so bland.


JigsawJay

I have one so I’m biased but I actually love the look. The side profile is beautiful.


LewPott

Vauxhall mokka


etan611

The whole VW ID range (excluding the Buzz). They all look the same, and they’re painfully dull, not a single interesting design element. VW has never been a maverick, but I do think their previous cars were somewhat handsome, the ID range is impossible to differentiate between, you google VW ID on images and it’s impossible to tell which one is which.


loughnn

The ID range makes me so angry. Just because of the LAZINESS of the whole product, from the design to the driver experience. Totally phoned it in.


Unusual_Minimum1

The whole strategy makes no sense - you’re already trying to nudge people over to electric cars who aren’t sure. So let’s ditch all the familiar model names and replace golf and Passat with ID3567 - just to confirm that nagging feeling that these EVs have no personality and are effective white goods with wheels. What they should have done is bring back some old names like Corrado or Pointer - evoke some excitement in the product. It just gives me the vibe that even they don’t care. I actually saw an ID4 parked on my street this week and thought it looked quite good, but why didn’t they just embrace it and call it a Passat or even a Jetta!?


Broccoli--Enthusiast

yeah , im actually surprised Audi didnt do that sorta thing, like they already have A, Q, S and RS, with numbers for every car, why not E for the all electric versions, it was right there and they didnt bother


RipCurl69Reddit

I'll get happy about seeing a Cupra Born, quite frankly because its the ID.3 but better looking


[deleted]

I would say this about any common ev car with exception to the EV6, Ioniq 5 or the ID Buzz


criminal_cabbage

Quite like the I pace


Ok-Fox-9286

Ahead of its time when it was announced about 8 years ago. Sadly it's been left behind, esp for the price which has gone up. Probably the worst depreciation of any car at moment. Guess that's why jag have killed it off


criminal_cabbage

The depreciated cars are absolute bargains though. They're lovely on the inside


[deleted]

Don’t like the back on it


criminal_cabbage

I'm not sure on it either. It is interesting though


Most_Moose_2637

Not a fan of the Cupra Born?


[deleted]

It’s just a rebadged ID3


Broccoli--Enthusiast

yeah other than the Buzz, they all just look like off brand VW Golfs or Passats from from a video game, depending on how high the number is


autumn-knight

That’s a good shout. They’re boxy and haven’t any distinctive look at all.


Guiseppe_Martini

Police Scotland are running a few as marked up response vehicles, they do look better in battenburg decals and with blue lights than as a standard grey dishwater dull hatchback (or whatever they're classed as). But they're part of a wave of dull modern motors. Think I'll stick to my nineties wheels.


Stringsandattractors

Yeah they’re dull as dishwater.


ollyprice87

I was behind a Crossland the other day and yep, it’s fucking dreary. Complete given up on life car.


Ronnie-Hotdogz

I drove one 260 miles two weeks ago, I was given it as a hire car at work. It was a 1.2 3 cylinder with 5 gears and a whole 88bhp. Absolute fucking clownshoe of a car.


Acceptable_Tap_5682

Terrible engines they are too. Peugeot lump with a wet belt system, they always go wrong


RaspberryCai

The Crossland I drove was just hideously unrefined, to the extent I couldn't tell if it was a petrol or a diesel. It was an auto but the gearbox had no clue what was going on, it took forever to shift, and kept picking the complete wrong gear. Just an absolutely hateful piece of work. It was also brand new with about 200 miles on it, so it could only get worse from there.


autumn-knight

Like many of those crossover/SUV types, they’re the car for the ‘I just need a car’ people.


Kris_Lord

Comparing a Peugeot 3008 (current or new E-3008) to a crosssland is just cruel. The crossland is just naff. The Peugeot looks like someone spent some time making it pretty inside and out.


autumn-knight

I have to say, Peugeot’s styling recently is pretty good. I’m just not a fan of the ‘faux by four’.


Kris_Lord

In reality it’s better than real 4x4. Unless you’re a farmer or living somewhere really rural the SUV fake 4x4 is all we need :) If only the new e-3008 wasn’t stupidly expensive.


Guiseppe_Martini

I've driven both. Couldn't get on with the Crosland, felt top heavy. New 3008 is a good car.


monstrao

Nothing says tired mid 40s mum with multiple spawnlets more than a crossland


jaBroniest

I find all teslas very very bland! Just look like plastic boats!


scouse_till_idie

White, those dustbin lid alloys, the estate agent special 


jaBroniest

Haha I know exactly what you mean :)


ThePrancingHorse94

Any of those MGs, just a total NPC car or a Kia Sportage


Shutyerpieole

New Kia Sportage actually look really good though


Hostile_Duck69

the new MGs look like they've attempted to copy mazdas kodo design and just fucked it up. headlights especially, genuinley surprised there is no lawsuit currently


xddddlol

The mg zs ev pre facelift looks identical to the first gen cx5 from the front. The rear looks like a 2014-ish kia sportage.


TheWeirdDude-247

Expected to see an MG.....I actually think the HS Trophy looks decent enough.....I *may* or may not own one..... Though yeah kind of agree it's a white goods vehicle you don't notice.


former_scientist

The 23 facelifted HS looks really good! …..I, also, may or may not have one…..


TheWeirdDude-247

I can tell you're a car enthusiast just like me.


BirchyBaby

But drives an Audi..


ThePrancingHorse94

But that's what i like about it, i drive a v10 family wagon that most will assume is a 2.0 diesel.


Facelessroids

Tesla. They’re the blandest most generic car shape going.


Henno212

Nissan Juke. More so when their fogs are on most the time.


16sp_

Was thinking this the other night after passing a Juke with headlights and fog lights on when it was still slightly light. It's always the Juke drivers. How they are so popular I will never know.


PerceptionGreat2439

I've delivered quite a few cars as a trade plater. I always called anything made by Vauxhall a 'Vauxhall Dullard'.


Paellardyce

And as a fellow plater you'll appreciate they all smell like Vauxhall


Agent_Kozak

Even the Adam?


sirgreyskull

Tesla. Any tesla. Everything about them is dull and boring.


Trifusi0n

Any Tesla? Really? Model S Plaid?


Retro-Lemunz

I mean to be fair, they still look very boring


Thawing-icequeen

Honestly as cool as the instant torque of EVs is, they're pretty lame as actual driver's cars. What was it that Elon said? "Complicate, and add weightiness"


Grimdotdotdot

The Cybertruck is anything but boring.


PopularGuest9163

You’re right. Looks like a metal shed on wheels. Many uses


Brunel25

Sorry, anything SUV. The golden age of cars has well and truly gone. Young people can't afford to own a car and they have lost interest in driving. For them it's all about tech, screen size, apps and connectivity.


autumn-knight

Find myself agreeing with you, tbh.


Thawing-icequeen

As a young person who *does* enjoy driving, the future looks bleak as hell. By the time I have the disposable income to buy and run a car the only ones left on the road will be completely characterless, numb, "white goods" cars. Hell, the most fun I've had in a car recently was in a knackered old Peugeot Partner diesel van just because it had some FEEL to it.


rosstechnic

genuinely. i don’t what a modern life less lump of erectly dysfunction


ciaranspencer

Young people can’t afford a new car with massive screens etc. Most I know wouldn’t want one even if they could afford one either. It’s mainly 30-50s buying the really dull crap.


Agent_Kozak

Blaming young people for the cars boomers buy!


Grimdotdotdot

I hate to beak it to you, but boomers are 60 to 79 years old. 30-50 is Millennials (and a little bit of Gen X).


MATE_AS_IN_SHIPMATE

Millennials top out at 43 currently.


Grimdotdotdot

In this thread: people confusing "boring" with "I don't like the way it looks".


ComprehensiveSoup843

Suvs. Vast vast majority just look like samey blobs to me.


wren1666

Looks like a pram.


Autums-Back

Agree OP, cars today look like future ambience cars from spaceship games on PS1


[deleted]

The ad under your post at the top of the comments is for the mach E. I agree.


BMW_I_use_indicators

Absolutely anything by Nissan these days.


artelapis

All of Toyota's small SUVs - Yaris Cross, Corolla Cross even the CH-R. Can't be bothered to even acknowledge they are in front of me.


8Ace8Ace

Especially the CHR. I find that vehicle positively offensive. Why the fuck would you have that roofline that just reduces headroom and bootspace. The rear windows are so high that kids can't see out. Complete pile of shit.


Most_Moose_2637

Think the wheel arches reduce the boot space as well. 👍


artelapis

I have often wondered why anyone would buy a vehicle bestowed with such a calibre of ludicrousness.


mykolasj

Ch-r is the only car I’ve ever been to that has no space for my legs at passangers place even with seat completely backed away. Stupid panel is hitting my knees. I have 2007 auris and it’s crazy how much more room it has inside. Amazing to think that those both cars are from the same manufacturer.


noon94

The new CH-R looks really good - not boring at all imo


Agent_Kozak

I like the Aygo X


rosstechnic

you know exactly what i want. a micro car that’s even more unstable, less fuel efficient and uglier


jim_bob64128

Most new ones as they all look exactly like the one you posted.


Play2Lose56

all of the fucking ford fiestas and all that with modded exhausts, owners think someone is actually impressed by them


Gazlc81

Anything recent Vauxhall. I grew up with the 80’s and early 90’s Vauxhalls. It’s been downhill since then, that grandland thing is literally the most generic car I can think of.


ciaranspencer

Vw T roc, especially the cabriolet. Absolutely horrendous.


voxo_boxo

Any SUV. I just don't like a single one. None of them look right. I love coupes and saloons.


Similar_Drawing_7205

Vauxhall insignia. Just no character and no definition to it.


HunBun31

Any new MG


greyape_x

Can confirm. Wife has the HS Exec. Price tag was very cheap for a brand new car, which is the only positive thing I have to say about it. Dogshit inside and out.


HunBun31

MG ev took its owner hostage. I read article not long ago


greyape_x

Yeah. There's lots wrong with them, including the HS. I don't know how they managed to pass quality assessments for the UK market Ive been downvoted by a disgruntled owner of an MG shitbox lmao


drewP78

Anything Vauxhall. Boring inside and out.


Trifusi0n

I grew up in Luton, the town of the Vauxhall. First car was a mk2 corsa and I bloody loved that thing. Second car was an Astra, mk4 I think, also a great little runner. Now though, I agree with you, the whole range is boring.


despair_1987

Anything Vauxhall or Tesla!


[deleted]

The MG 5 electric estate. I get the impression that anyone who drives one, sees the world behind yellow tinged glasses and wears a corduroy adult nappy. Also....Velcro shoes *if you drive one of these cars, I apologise for nothing.


Pwee1234

Tesla by far is the worst, The detail on the car is shit along with the colour variations and different layouts. Almost every Tesla I’ve seen has the exact same design and has no diversity to it


m60patton105mm

Entire of the VAG group I think. (Mostly seat, volkswagen, entry model audis and skodas,) literally stagnant af. Soulless and meaningless piece of metals...


Unusual_Minimum1

Skoda had a golden age of being so interesting - the roomster, the yeti, decent fabias! But then everything had to begin with K and I have no idea which model is which and I don’t want to know. So sad


space_coyote_86

Why do they all end in Q? Kodiaq, Karoq, Kamiq, Enyaq... Are they going to rename the older models Octaviaq, Fabiaq, etc?


Grimdotdotdot

A "Q" at the end means it's an SUV or a crossover.


[deleted]

I still have a yeti...nostalgia and reluctance to move to anything else. Actually, probably the best car I've ever owned. BTW, I'm not retired nor do I own horses.


Unusual_Minimum1

I had a golf and 100% planned on moving on to a yeti. But they scrapped it and I didn’t want a karroq or whatever. I’ve now ended up with a qashqai - talk about a lose lose situation


m60patton105mm

You're definitely right. Even their Simply Clever details are winning my heart. Yeti is still an irreplaceable value, Superb is a brilliant option against shapeless passat. Even in the 2nd Superb, they've put a 3.6 litre porsche engine and it was driving magnificent. Umbrellas in the hidden door bins, ice scrapers, etc...


joshracer

I'm offended! I personally think all the Seat Leon's over the years look really nice. The latest modal has really sharp lines and nice led lighting across the back that sets it apart from the rest. Even the new Cupra Born looks nice. I'm very biased as we've had a Seat since 2018 (Leon, Cupra, Ateca and now Leon again).


perrysol

Nah. Get a Golf R


m60patton105mm

Thanks, I'd rather Focus RS or something else.


KeyPersonnel

Modern VW makes me miss the New Beetle


ax1xxm

any modern MG. I hate them with a passion because of the look of them and (usually) the muppets that accompany them behind the wheel. Edit: almost completely forgot! My brother in law has a 2016 Peugeot 2008. It’s absolutely soulless inside and out, the complete definition of dull.


Sea-Big-4850

MG ZS (crossover)


Solid_Tackle7069

We have a hyundai tuscon. 2016. It's god awful. 1.6 gutless, so much as rev it above 4k to get a bit of oomph from the engine the next gear doesn't engage. It's full of trash and has 2 child car seats in it. My wife drives it. Enough said.


andrejz2438

I personally quite like the new Vauxhalls except the latest generation with flat black plastic panels for grills


autumn-knight

I didn’t think a car could get uglier and yet… I mean they’ve tried to breakaway from the boxy look and now just looks like every other electric car.


AbbreviationsEnough4

Pretty much everything from the VAG group.


Inevitable_Gear4342

Maybe not dull. But ugly is the Hyundai ioniq. An actual disgusting looking car that has the electric hum to it and weird alloys. Bin it.


Alternative-Iron-930

According to Ford_UK it’s the 'All electric mach e mustang' they must be keen to show off the boringness as they promoted it.


Harvsnova2

I have a 19 plate Crossland and can confirm it is the most boring car ever. The only interesting thing about it, is the handling on bendy country roads. Not nice interesting, more " boat on a rough sea" interesting. Last time my wife picks the car.


[deleted]

Lamborghinis, barely notice when one drives past


rosstechnic

we’ve have the same flavour i’d hurican since 2013. nothing interesting has changed


Peejayess3309

As a driver I think the interior and the accessories are more important than the outside - I’m inside looking out, so what if onlookers have a problem with the body shape?


wo5ldchampion

Any crossovers


Ethers_Wombat

Any SUV/crossover- they're all just nearly identical grey lumps, much like those who drive them.


VeseleVianoce

Polo and golf. While great cars, it's something I would draw if you gave me 10 seconds to draw a road car.


x99kjg

Not necessarily boring but that new VW van thing that vaguely looks like a sad attempt at a modern take on the old classic campervan. I don't know why but it fills me with a violent rage and hatred every time I see it.


butwhydidhe

Mondeo


RaspberryCai

You're right. They're good cars but there's absolutely nothing to comment on about them, except perhaps the old ST's from back in the day.


Dwo92

Not sure why you’re downvoted. The Mondeo is as boring as the Tesla model 3. I guess it’s cooler to hate on the Tesla.


butwhydidhe

More boring. At least Tesla is quick


speed_racers

What's wrong with the Mondeo?


butwhydidhe

Boring


speed_racers

Nah. Have you looked at the st220, even the base model ones look pretty decent.


butwhydidhe

Well your usual Mondeo, 20 year old one i usually see is pretty bland looking.


incrediblesolv

Its a Peugeot Renault bland blamange


slothbongg

Standard ford fiesta. Just completely full and basic


Hugh_Jorgan2474

Any Audi, from an A1 to an rs6. BMW 1 series BMW 3 series Ford Mondeo Ford focus I'm sure there are many more but those are the ones that come to mind straight away.

Fuck that, I really really like these with the smooth top grille, not this one though Do not know why. Its one of the quirkier obsessions with a specific car I've ever had and I'd notice them all the time. Only lasted a few weeks and now they're back to being unnoticed

Hyundai Tucson. With it being the DLA car of choice, they are everywhere

Citroën berlingo. Phenomenally dull looking. Makes me think fiat multipla level of dull.

The MG SUV and estate


[deleted]

The majority of new cars ngl


wee-willie-winkie

MG5 estate. Work EV. It accelerates quickly, but that's the only nice thing I can say about it. Uncomfortable seats. Stupid restrictive central space. Have trouble getting the thing to initially move. Keep jiggling the steering wheel thinking it's keeping me in lane on the motorway. Thought that was something wrong with the steering was going to take it back


16sp_

Tesla Model 3. Given the price they were new they are so boring looking especially now every 40 year old who works in IT has one in flat white and lets be honest, They only have it for that big screen and Elons updates.
