Back in the day I traded in my 97 Cobra in for a brand new 99 Cobra. Made less HP than advertised, that sucked balls. Ford mailed me a shitty leather coat with my VIN on the inside lol.
Vehicles That Disappoint You???

That Tbird was a travesty...I do miss my 94SC
My friend had a Prowler back in the day. He put nitrous on it. It was fun to ride around in
Yea, new 2015 Tesla S 85. My first Tesla experience and I went in thinking I would love it. Nope. Awkward silence, noticed odd parts shared items from other cars inside (like base Mercedes column shift set up, GM headliner material), floor way too high in the rear. Worst part was that I wanted to like it.
Agreed - I had a 100d for a day and could not have been less impressed. Super cheap interior, build quality sucked, was fast but had no emotion. I am not a tech nerd so none of the gee whiz tech mattered to me. A completely uninspired car.
I thought the S550 could handle plenty of boost in stock form
I'd like to add R35 GT-R to my list of disappointment. Driven a few trying to want one, but could never enjoy driving it. Just felt no connection to the car & it felt like I was driving an appliance. Even my turd appliance Jetta doesn't give that feeling to me as much as the GT-R did.
Also, E60 M5 w/SMG trans. That transmission is pure junk. I could never get a clean shift out of it.
Audi S5. I liked the S4 a lot more. S5 seemed to have excessive body roll.

??? so you could have got a cut in sales tax if you traded it but took the hit so that you could pass a lemon on to your pops? Do you hate your father?
How dare you sir!
Nah my Gen was pretty disappointing until I finally put a tune on it. Though the bolton+tune gains on the 13+ 2.0t are far better than the 10-12 3.8 bolton+tune gains like yours was. Its a totally different car. Tune and good performing summer tires were the biggest difference makers.
My hate for the GC is well documented on this forum lol. Even nitrous didn't help that POS. In fact, it made shit worse.
LOL, no! My dad is a certified mechanic and knew every issue I ever had with that car. It now has a 6.0 LS2 in it!
Rented a car and they gave me a Kia Optima. Since I see them all the time I thought this might be cool. It wasn’t. Very poor quality inside.
Many GM’s from the 2000’s. I never owned any but all who I know did had they’re interiors fall apart shortly after a year of ownership.

Thats not a lemon, its common on the old mods. Some have issues some never do. My lightning went 110k without an issue.
New Chevy cars, even the Malibu’s and Impalas seem like the interior is no better than my 11 Focus DD shitbox.
Chrysler 200s, the 9 speed is ****ing horrible! Press the gas, nothing, more and nothing, until all of a sudden the transmission and throttle input realize you are halfway to the floor and it wants to take off like you are some ****** in a F&F knockoff. The the rear view mirror is the size of a Ram 3500 tow mirror and it blocks your view of anything on the passenger front side of the car.
The 5.0 F150, it feels weak in comparison to the 3.5EB and seemed to search for gears a lot.
New Jetta, the seats are as comfortable as a park bench.
Chevy Equinox, it rode more rough than my Ranger Sport 4x4.

What's with Mitsubishi releasing a new suv with the eclipse name?
Plus it's not like this was a few year old vehicle. This was 5 years ago, the car has 200k on it. I was only getting 2k for it from the dealer.
Remember the guy who came on here ranting and raving about how Ford screwed him by allowing him to buy a 2010 GT and then announcing the 11 5.0? Everyone pointed out the info had been in the public for months.my 2001 cobra, but only because the rumors about the coming 03 cobra proved to be true. I know how those 2010 3V GT fellas feelI traded that 01 in with the quickness.
Not exactly. The forced emissions resulting in a hastily slapped together EGR setup is what gave them a bad wrap. EGR would clog, overheat and lift the heads. There's a reason the 6.0 in school busses, etc didn't have the same problems. It wasn't designed to run with emissions. People were used to the 7.3 and low maintenance it required. If you didn't maintain them well, they would be a PITA.
That said my 7.3 disappointed me way more than either of my 6.0's. That thing ate cam sensors like candy, turned like a 757, and seemed to kill batteries once a year (yay commercial account warranty).
Had a 13' Ram 1500 as a rental while injectors were being done on my 7.3. Thing had 5000 miles on it and on dirt roads squeaked and rattled like no other. To top it off it got a flat and either someone before or just the crap drop system for the spare, it rounded out as soon as I began lowering it. Took two pipe wrenches and a wire cutter to get the damn spare down. I was ready to set that thing on fire.
