Excluding anything goofy or catastrophically expensive, what one mainstream brand would you never be caught dead owning and why?

For me it is Hyundai just because I can not stand their ugly logo

None.
It's 2016, not 1980.
There are no bad cars.

Mitsubishi. Seems as if they haven't truest updated their cars for a decade now and there's a chance they won't be in USA anymore unless something changes drastically.

Not liking an entire brand's vehicles because of how the logo looks seems silly and shallow. I don't like Toyota's logo but that wouldn't stop me from owning one.

People have been predicting Mitsubishi's USA demise for about 20 years. They're still here.

The upside to not updating is that their cars are relatively simple and debugged.
If you don't care about having the latest tech they work.
And they're cheap. And they have 5 year, 60K mile warranties.

And Nissan will probably put an end to any reason to buy one.

Nissan, I owned a Primera/Sentra and it was the worst POS I've even had the misfortune to drive. I also had a Versa as a rental what a horrible little car, from the total lack of power to the nasty seat covers that gave me static shocks.

Close second comes a Kia, for no other reason than they are ugly

Without hesitation or doubt, Ford.


Out of every brand and company I have owned (a significant cross section of cars from the US, Europe, and Japan), the Ford's have been far and away the least reliable and worst quality by a long shot. Worse, I have found they have absolutely no desire to actually stand behind their product. Spent too much time hearing dealers and corporate representatives tell me clear and obvious problems were the vehicle "operating as it was designed to."

BMW. The interior / ergonomics make no sense to me. Way too much hard plastic for the price. Low res LCD panels in ORANGE. Yuck.

Nissan and the orange rank right up there on my 'ugh' list.

None. I'd buy a Yugo if I could get the right deal on one.
