Terrible And Boring Cars We Would Not Recommend Plus Bad Cars We Loved As Kids In This Week's QOTD Roundup

Here at Jalopnik, we’re always getting asked for car recommendations, heck we’ve even made a weekly recurring feature about that very thing. Some cars are easy to recommend thanks to their neat styling or great futures, but there are some that we can never suggest when someone asks for advice. - Owen Bellwood Read More

Kids don’t have any experience, and as a result, their opinions on things they’ve never personally experienced rarely mean much. Back when I was in high school, I ignored any car that wasn’t rear-wheel drive simply because I couldn’t imagine a front-wheel-drive car being any fun. I mean, I’d driven a Kia Spectra. How different could an Acura Integra be, really? Different. Very different, Collin. - Collin Woodard Read More

In today’s volatile automotive market, finding the best used car value can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. With new car prices pushing the boundaries of belief, and used car prices constantly fluctuating, it’s time to ask the Jalopnik audience what they think the best value on the used market is. Many factors influence a car’s value, including brand and model reputation, reliability, performance abilities, and maintenance costs. Certain makes and models consistently rank high in value retention, making them smart choices for buyers who want to avoid time in the repair shop, but does that make them good deals? - Logan Carter Read More

Not all cars can be heart-stoppingly exciting. For 99 percent of the population, a car is just something to get folks from Point A to Point B, and there’s nothing really wrong with that... if you like dull and boring cars. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of them out there, and that’s what has led me to my question from last week. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

This may come as a surprise to you, but growing up I was way too into cars. I read everything about them that I could get my hands on, from Consumer Reports to EVO and even some magazines that weren’t specifically focused on cars but still included the occasional car news. It wasn’t exactly good for developing social skills or kissing girls, but I did manage to become an auto journalist without even a semester of Car College under my belt. Then again, I also look back and remember some weird obsessions. - Collin Woodard Read More

EVs are slowly becoming more mainstream, but there are plenty of fence sitters who are put off by the lack of a proper charging network and range anxiety. Just how much range do you actually need though? - Lawrence Hodge Read More
