Lol, i was driving my cousin's one of these once, and the bonnet flew up at 65mph. Proper scary. Luckily, it's made of tin foil, so just folded it back down, gave it a thump and it shut again and never went wrong again, lol. The bonnet was so flimsy it didn't even break the screen or dent the roof!
Mental aren't they, as you say made of tinfoil. I dread the think what they'd be like in a decent shunt 🙈

Are talking about looks or to drive? Cos if i saw a Robin on the road now id take notice as their so rare. To me 'boring' means you dont even notice them.
Only if it has trotters independent traders on the side

Can anyone understand why a man would want to drive a slow 1.2 hatchback or any other slow boring car? Ive never got my head round it. Balls to saving money,you only live once!

I think my idea of boring is a little different to most on here. I quite like driving little shitboxes because they have character.
Anything quiet and comfortable with no redeemable features bores me, so any Vauxhall diesels, German VAG diesels and pretty much anything modern from Hyundai or Kia.
I think I'd rather have that Perodua Nippa than most modern Ecoboxes!

Because they were so busy being a big man in their 2.0 hatchback that they didn't notice the fence they crashed through, and now they can't be trusted with anything more?
Possibly?

It entirely depends what sort of driving you do.
I agree with @Mr Burns abotu small hatches being a laugh, but only on twisty backroads and in towns. On a long motorway run theyre awful.
Likewise I had a hilarious laugh at the weekend driving a P38 range rover with straight through exhausts down to Goodwood. I wouldnt want to commute in it however.

What engine was in it?
There's a guy round here with a blinged up p38 with massive chrome pipes on, sounds ridiculous.

They do a 4.6 V8. Makes about 8bhp, but sounds wicked with the right exhaust.

Fiat 500s. Zero redeeming features
Any modern, white, poverty spec status car
Any crossover
Any small SUV
Most city cars
This may be a hatred of these in general rather than them being exclusively boring but...
BMW 2 series gt or whatever the f**k that rebadged Vauxhall zafira is called. Exclusively owned by pricks who think they can drive in the outside lane because their zafira has a German badge. You're still a useless mess. f**k off.
The original Vauxhall agila. Does anything else scream 'I have given up on life' as much?

Even if a car is awful on long runs it still doesn't mean it's boring! The demand for quiet, safe, comfortable and easy-to-drive cars is higher than ever, so the dullest cars tend to be the new ones!

Blimey, wouldn't know where to start

Didn't they all turn into brown stains on driveways?

When the 'worst car you've driven' thread was kicking about, the City Rover got my vote... And that was after 4 years of working at a car supermarket!

Some audis.
V6/8/10 and awd is a brilliant combination. They don't even need to be fast. Just have the vee noise and room for the family and dog.

Brilliant, but ultimately boring. Two of my friends have modified S4's and a couple have mapped TT's, and none of them put a smile on my face.

Every modern mass produced road car, they are all boring! They are all far too big, heavy and full of mounds of pointless gadgetry. I mean there is nothing wrong with that, people are spending more and more time in their cars on long journeys and that's fine but they are just boring to me.
I prefer cheap small s**t box project cars in which some proper backyard engineering has been involved, decent brake and suspension upgrades, custom fabrication, stripped to the bone, some form of engine swap or forced induction on the standard lump. I got massive respect for people who pour their heart and soul into making something interesting, to me that's cool. Then get it on track and hoon the crap out of it, doesn't have to have "BIG POWER" which many believe to be the source of "cool" to be fun.

The 4.6, which sounds great but makes about 220bhp
It means it's boring on a long run, which was my point. A small hatch is fun in town or on the Twisties and boring when you're on a long run with no acceleration at motorway speeds.
Horses for courses!

I think it's more frustrating than boring, but I know where you're coming from. Something quiet and refined is still dull in comparison, but I understand that overtaking power has its benefits.
