1: Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG
600HP and 738 Ft/lbs of torque mean that this massive luxury coupe is massively fun to drive. As a GT car its fantastic until the warranty expires. They seem like great deals on the Used market as the depreciate like crazy. If that doesn’t kill it for you the maintenance will. Anything on a V12 Mercedes is crazy expensive to replace.
2: McLaren MP4-12C
These cars are amazing to drive, but because they were the first road car since the F1. There were a lot of teething issues like failing electronics. On top of that, many options weren’t delivered for up to a year after the release of the car. The cars depreciated massively, particularly when McLaren recognized all the problems and released the 650s to replace the 12c with all the problems fixed.
3: Citroen SM
The SM is one of the most Luxurious and comfortable cars ever made. Its also one of the most complicated with hydropneumatic suspension and Maserati motor.
4: Rental Car
Did someone say Average Joe Gymkhana take one? They are absolutely awesome to drive, what least when you don’t have to pay for the tires you inevitably destroy hooning them. Don’t ever buy a former rental.
5:Lotus Elise
Everything that makes the elise great, like the compact lightweight size, and no power steering, make it utterly awful to drive any way but fast. At least the toyota motor is reliable!
6: Ariel Atom
Take everything great about the lotus and multiply by 10. Now do the same with everything bad about it and you have the ariel atom. Do yourself a favor and only drive it on tracks, that you trailer the atom to.
7:Alfa Romeo Montreal
Alfa’s are beautiful to look at and awesome to drive. When they are working.. At least its pretty to look at when its broken, which it almost always will be.
8: Jaguar E-type
This list could be entirely comprised of British cars, but the E-type is by far the worst offender. It was fast in its day, and still is, but only when its working. 90% of the time you own it it will not be working. Even still, every time you see one you want one.
9: Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser
When people talk about how comfortable a Mercedes can be, this is the car they are referring to. However if you break anything, for example the hydraulic window switches,which are $11,500.00 to replace, and just about everything in the car is hydraulic.
10: Bugatti Veyron
Considering that its one of the fastest cars ever made, it is of course fun to drive. However have you seen the maintenance costs? Even considering the cost to buy the car, the maintenance is crazy.
Oil Change: $21,00.00
Tires: $30-40,000.00 (recommended replace every 2500 miles)
Annual maintenance: $20,000.00
Insurance: $2-3,000.00 per month
Even though if you can afford the car you can afford the maintenance. Is it really worth it?
