this video here may trigger some people if you thought my video on cars you
should be embarrassed to drive looks pretty harsh just wait until you hear
what I say about these six cars before the video begins I want to take this
moment and thank you all just a few days ago the channel hit a pretty big
milestone of a hundred thousand subscribers something I didn't think
would happen so soon honestly having a car channel where I can follow my
passion and have so many fans that watch me on a weekly basis is a dream come
true I'll be making a Q&A video pretty soon since a lot of you guys have been
asking me to do one so make sure to follow me on Instagram as I will be
making a post so you guys can ask me questions on there I'll be taking the
most popular questions and featuring them on the Q&A YouTube video thank you
again for a hundred thousand subscribers and now let's begin the video the first
car is the PT Cruiser okay so it's probably not a big surprise to see this
car in the list because it really is one of the more obvious choices I mean
really when these first came out in 2005 people went crazy for them the cool
retro throwback styling was something that really caught all of our attention
and offered elements of practicality it was large enough to be an adequate
family car and could haul it a little bit larger of a cargo than a normal car
could in a rare instance you would need it to the next five years of production
would change our minds completely about the PT Cruiser for various reasons the
first is and probably the most influential reason would be over
reliability issues one of the more notable ones being that the
underdeveloped cooler system would fail and cause head gaskets to pop and here's
the best part though if you got the head gasket a pop you can be rest assured
that other gaskets would start poppin soon as well it was a gift that kept
giving sort of like herpes and it was just the start of us treating this car
like an STD by trying to hide them get rid of them and forget it ever happened
and don't tell a single soul about it it had a cheaply made interior so seeing
broken handles buttons and ripped seats and cracks in the dash for common sight
it was not a performer at all even with the introduction of the turbo power
model and certainly was not luxurious in any sort of way hell it was not even
good on gas it really only averaged around 19 miles per gallon the PT was
really just an upgrade and cool factor for soccer mom from a standard minivan
and we all started to realize it after a while we just started seeing it for what
it was worth just a cheap but kind of interesting novelty we even realized
that thing was about as ugly as the Pontiac
Aztek but at least astok had a cool built-in 10 canopy all the PT Cruiser
had to offer was hefty repair bills and came standard from factory with built-in
shame the second car is a Jaguar x-type yeah you had us Jaguar seriously that's
all we needed to hear and we were onboard who wouldn't love the idea of
driving Iran and one of these ultra luxurious prestigious wonders of
automotive envy they had instant sex appeal the minute you look at one and
the ex type was no exclusion to this by any means the ex type was Jaguar getting
itself into the entry level luxury car market so it was designed to compete
with the 3-series c-class and Audi a4 for most of us this was exciting news
because finally we can get ourselves into a Jaguar but for the wealthy people
who owned one already it was going to be devastating blow to the mystique their
cars once held since now everybody can drive on this was the start to the
negative press and usually rich people scoffing at our lower end cars means
nothing except in this case we started to realize they had a valid point
first off Ford had bought Jaguar and actually built it on a Mondale platform
which started to make us look at it more like a Lincoln Town Car rather than the
aston martin we once compared it to in our minds then we started seeing just
how many mechanical issues that average owner of the next type has to deal with
like air leaks around the intake manifold all paying gasket leaks prop
shaft bearing failures and just a whole host of various electrical issues take
all that and mixing some transmission issues in voila you now have a recipe
for a car you wants one and more than anything and now I want to forget you
even liked I could only imagine only one of these was like chasing the hottest
girl in town all your life and then you finally get to her and her personality
stinks third on the list is the Hummer specifically the h2 and h3 this vehicle
was something we had really never seen before this was the first time we saw a
military vehicle get introduced to the civilian market with the luxury vehicle
makeover offering us a new super large bolte but yet luxurious vehicle we all
loved it this was one of the coolest vehicles you could own at the time and
it was introduced in 2003 when the economy was doing great and gas prices
were really low but let's not forget that this was the time when Vaughn Dodge
trucker hats and been dazzled back pockets on your jeans were that penny me
of cool as well and just like those fashion trends we look back at the h2
and h3 and cringe hard after the next few years at
felice we started to see the economy tanked and gas prices skyrocket and we
started taking a more objective look at this gas guzzling douche-mobile
started seeing it for what it really was a joke first off it had these hoops
mounted on the frame that were remnants of the original military version these
hoops allowed the Hummer to be strapped into a cargo plane but under age 2 there
were just there for no reason they didn't connect to anything and so it
couldn't serve the same purpose and I guess you can say they were there for
looks but they look really damn silly they had the word Hummer and everywhere
on them and even had a big h2 right on the steering wheel which I always found
kind of odd who puts the car model on the steering wheel rather than a
manufacturer badge they also had larger engines in the Tahoe and the suburban
but still managed to be a lot slower than both it did 0 to 60 and a whopping
10 seconds
this thing was loud rattled from all the plastic junk thrown on it uncomfortable
and difficult to see out of we're just glad to see them gone now and we can
start to forget to ever happen and better yet the embarrass in fact that we
ever liked them the fourth car is a Mitsubishi Eclipse this car hit the US
market by storm in 1990 and as any 90s kid would tell you we were all
infatuated by them it looked like futuristic race cars that can bend space
and time while traveling between different dimensions as we got to know
that Eclipse a bit better however our visions of them came crashing down to a
hard reality to the face they weren't interdimensional vehicles
they weren't race cars inhale most of them weren't even suited to drive on the
left lane of the highway because they were so awfully underpowered they were
all pretty cheaply made and we're super flimsy and quickly became labeled as
chick cars because like chicks they had no balls
the only real appeal these cars ever had was their looks and you have to give
credit to Mitsubishi for this one because they fooled a lot of us from the
90s and well into the early 2000s they also had their fair share of mechanical
issues starting with all their 1990 to 1998 models being a recall for lock ups
of the transfer cases due to inefficient lubrication which is ironic because
that's the same issue you'll hear from your date when you ask if she wants to
go home with you if you pick her up on one of these even after the recall these
cars have always been plagued with transmission issues especially in the
1999 and 2000 models the real issue with the Eclipse really came down to a simple
factor price versus power the affordable four-cylinder options never really had
the horsepower to make them what we thought they were and wanted them to be
and the six-cylinder options would bump you up into mustang territory but only
in price terms and not in power so why would you take the Eclipse over this
thing I mean that would probably take the Eclipse but most Americans didn't
which led to the lines demise what's funny though is that they brought the
clips back but now as a crossover which I don't see that doing very well it's
like their Board of Directors got together and said hey let's take an
already undesirable car and make it less desirable by making it into an ugly
crossover the fifth car is the Toyota Celica Oh the infamous Toyota Celica
most of us were constantly turning our heads and checking these sexy beasts out
constantly the aggressive styling and beautiful contours made us all take
notice and let us know that this thing is a force to be reckoned with the
car looked f ast fast we went from strangely obsessed to head-over-heels in
love after they showed us what she can do in the Fast and the Furious movies
the only issue though was that it was all a facade she strictly looked fast
but was frustratingly underpowered we all got catfished by her long before
tender even became a thing and the worst part was that you'd be paying roughly
seven thousand dollars more for one than you would for any clips which I
mentioned earlier was strictly a good-looking car but couldn't tear it up
on the road at all to add more insult to the injury you can also get a
mechanically identical Eagle Talon and be offered a longer warranty than either
Mitsubishi or Toyota would give you it also suffered from some stiff
competition from the acura integra which is widely agreed upon offers up a much
more exhilarating car in his way more fun to drive
needless to say once we all caught on to the Celicas catfishing games we stopped
calling her and decided to forget we were all ever interested in her at all
seriously though how embarrassing the sixth and final car is the Acura TL this
was an exciting car to see released it was going to be a really fun car that
had great sporty attributes to it making a exciting to drive while also having a
good host of luxury features making it comfortable and aesthetically pleasing
the best part was that it was an Acura which is made by Honda so it'd be a
great reliable daily driver to all great stuff had it ended up being true our
dreams of luxurious interior would be shattered as quickly as this thing's
cheap commonly crack dashboard everything on the interior was flimsy
and felt like it would break if you breathed on it too hard the leather and
it wore excessively and would look terrible far sooner than it should it's
also been reported to have a ridiculous amount of rattling - but not a big
surprise once you know how cheap and chintzy the interiors then you go oh
well it has hands-free calling and even that comes with a huge disappointment
once you realize it didn't have a caller ID but hey at least it's reliable right
wrong your hopes of owning a really reliable vehicle would disappear quicker
than the oil from this thing's engine and yes for whatever reason this car had
an excessive amount of oil consumption the tears are kilise he'll however was
its transmission they are notoriously awful and offer up a whole host of
issues you can look forward to seeing even enthusiasts of the TL openly talk
about how bad the transmission is whether it be rough shifting shudder or
flat-out transmission failure you're going to want to get rid of this thing
and punch yourself for liking it enough to buy one join the rest of us and
embarrass spent forever liking it at all if you
