Unpopular Opinions- Cars in General

[ToyGTone]

Stance or slammed cars are overrated. It just looks stupid and in some cars ruins the way it looks. A little negative camber is fine but please not too much.

 

[Tornado]

small cars are safer than big cars!

If you hit other small cars. I don't like a fortwo's chances against an Excursion no matter how much safer it is in most situations.

 

[LM7325]

Small cars are indeed more agile, and do tend to perform well against fixed barriers compared to say a Dreadnought class SUV. But head-on against the Dreadnought the results are borderline horrifying.

I hate car fresheners, they give me headache everytime I smell them.

 

[Turbo]

The Jaguar XK is much better looking than the F-Type.

 

[Michelin Man]

The Jaguar XK is much better looking than the F-Type.

I'm with you on that one, think the F-Type is a little overrated looks wise. Though the XK was a very good looking beast.

 

[Turbo]

Both generations of the XK managed to look very clean and elegant, and not disproportioned in the slightest. The F-Type, I feel is too aggressive and overdone and less graceful looking.

 

[Michelin Man]

Definitely, especially the previous gen XK, which looked very sleek and elegant, thought that was exceptionally good looking. The F-Type is nowhere near as good, granted it isn't horrendously ugly, but it isn't a stunner either. It looks especially weird from the rear for me.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Maybe if the F-150 was a bit longer. It looks too stubby.

 

[MedigoFlame]

There's plenty of cars that I'm okay with having those pop up spoilers. But others...feel like an afterthought.

As others said, I don't find the F-Type that attractive. But what bothers me the most about it, is the spoiler. It just looks like a panel they decided to cut out and have move about to be considered a spoiler.

Same for the RC-F

I'm fine with some other cars having pop up spoilers, but these two are examples of what feels like a lazily done design.

 

[ToyGTone]

Say whatever you want about the Ferrari 488 being better than the 458 but I still love the 458.

And one more thing...
As much as i love this car and understand why people love it, i gotta say that the Toyota Supra is a bit overrated in some ways. The fanboy's kinda ruins the car for me.

Don't get me wrong, i still love it but no way it's the absolute best car in the world as some fans suggest.

Disagree. I think the F Type is stunning. The XK was nice too, but it looks dated

I'd say it's the opposite. The F-Type was stunning but hasn't aged well at all whereas the XK has less faff in its design, it's a lot closer to being classically beautiful rather than just following trends.

'Unpopular Opinions'

Every opinion on the Internet is open for debate, especially unpopular ones.

 

[Turbo]

I don't like the look of fifteen52 wheels.

Not sure if the fifteen52's on this NA Miata look good or not; I can't really decide if I like it. What does the community think of it?

So do you just not like CarreraGT or something?

I grew up loving the MKIV Supra, but as you said, the hype ruins the car for me. On the other hand, I really like the MKIII Supra. First car I owned in Gran Turismo 2 and I still love it to this day. Just a shame the US only got the 7M instead of the 1JZ.

Also here's another unpopular opinion. I like the Ferrari F430 more than the 488/458....

 

[Obelisk]

Track-oriented supercars can be surprisingly comfortable.

A while ago, I got to be a passenger in a 1999 Ferrari 360* that was quite fun. Outside of a total lack of a passenger seatbelt (it broke) the seat was surprisingly nice and supportive and the ride was smooth.

*Paperwork says it belonged to Paul Walker.

 

[Michelin Man]

Also here's another unpopular opinion. I like the Ferrari F430 more than the 488/458....

Going on from that even more, I really don't like modern Ferrari's; i.e. from this century (not into Fezza's much anyhow), Last road going Ferrari I kind of liked, and thought good looking, was the 550/575. And the last Ferrari I genuinely really liked was the F355.

 

[-Fred-]

The 550/575 and the 456 were the last good looking ones.

 

[1241Penguin]

I think pop-up headlights are overrated.

 

[Downhill Dino]

You take that back!

 

[Tornado]

I think pop-up headlights are overrated.

What about ones that rotate along a center axis?

 

[Grandea GTR]

I like CVTs.

 

[Obelisk]

I like CVTs.

I do second this, but it's a very situational thing for me.

 

[1241Penguin]

What about ones that rotate along a center axis?

Slightly better.

 

[Tornado]

Slightly better.

Unpopular Opinion: I think many of today's sports cars have too much power. For example, 503 horsepower in an AMG C-Class (C63).

Fun low powered sports cars > expensive, over the top, powered exotics.
