Top 8 CRAP versions of GREAT cars

nobody's perfect and the same is true with cars as well show me your best one and i'll find something to complain about but then there are great cars that i can complain about a lot hey guys snipe here with my list of the shittiest versions of otherwise great cars let's go number eight you'd think that all jeeps have four-wheel drive but they don't most models in their current lineup are suvs and the toughest obstacles such cars usually deal with is the curb you don't need a 4x4 for that but wrangler well that's a different animal designed to go wild in the wild just from looking at it you can tell this is an off-roader and it means business tall ground clearance chunky tires good approaching angle and of course power going to all wheels and then there was a version with a rear-wheel drive only that's half of its talent gone imagine mike tyson with one arm tied behind his back and you'll get the picture honestly what were they thinking it's simple they wanted to sell more wranglers a less complex car meant that the price was lower too and that means more people can buy their way into the wrangler family but why would you want to be part of that family if you can't join in on their fun extreme adventures how does it feel to be an imposter have you no shame this jk wrangler truly was a joke in the short three years that it was on offer most people ignored it and those who bought it either converted them to four-wheel drive or were ridiculed good number six tesla model s is according to many one of the greatest and most important cars ever made thanks to its big battery it was the first truly usable fully electric car finally an eevee that you can drive like a normal car without constantly running out of juice that's if you didn't go for the entry model with a 40 kilowatt hour battery back then the model s was the only kit on the block and it was expensive you were looking at 80 000 for a good one and that was problematic elon knew if he wanted to get his ev revolution rolling he needed to get more people to participate in it and so long before the model 3 would come out the model s 40 was that affordable car except it wasn't and it was it still cost 52 500 and that was after the government's 7 500 tax credit and for that it was still missing features like navigation backup camera and most importantly fast charging so 130 miles of range and every two hours after you run out you need to wait seven hours to recharge ain't nobody got time for that but the biggest fu with it was the fact that the 40 kilowatt hour battery is actually the same one found in the 60 kilowatt hour model just software limited that means that 33 of the heaviest part is dead weight which does nothing except for slowing you down and making that range even shorter honestly number five few cars are as revered as the r32 nissan skyline gtr it's the original godzilla a computerized all-wheel drive monster that dominated the competition and i do mean dominated when nissan first entered it in the jtcc it won every race of that season every race naturally the road version was monstrous too yes it was limited to just 280 horsepower because of the japanese gentleman's agreement but a full 500 horsepower was easily unlocked with an ecu remap and by swapping a few restricting parts but that's the gtr the top version of the skyline lesser versions could be had without the turbos without the all-wheel drive and a sedan body and at the bottom the absolute worst r32 skyline ever made the gxi it's a sedan only which despite having the same wide wheel arches same headlights tail lights and other design cues it simply doesn't look right but it's not the shape or lack of all-wheel drive and turbos that hurt it the most it's the engine the gxi is the only one with a four-cylinder which makes do you want to guess how much 90 horsepower the only thing that this limping skyline shares with the godzilla is the skyline name and frankly it shouldn't even share that number five i don't really need to spend too much time telling you how great the audi r8 is it's a lamborghini gallardo that's half the price and yet it looks better but did you know that there's also an electric version too called the r8 e-tron no it wasn't just a concept car they made and sold these as well but don't beat yourself up over this if this is the first time you've heard of it most audi dealers didn't know about it either it wasn't advertised it didn't show up in the brochures and you couldn't see it displayed for sale anywhere so how could you buy it if you were for a lack of a better word an audi connoisseur you'd get approached by one of the select few european dealers who would then whisper in year that you could have an electric r8 for 1.1 million dollars and what do you get for this bugatti price 450 horsepower 3.9 seconds to 60 and a top speed of 155 and in case you're keeping score that's the slowest second generation r8 but it costs five times more than the fastest one what's more because of the heavy batteries the handling is worse and the silent treatment from the electric motors makes it less exciting too even the range is shorter than you'd find in the v10 model there is simply nothing the e-tron was better at nothing it was as the french always knew a piece of number four i don't have a big bushy mustache but i do like the ferrari 308 i love that 80s wedge design with a chiseled sharp front and that convenient carrying handle at the back of the roof it's neat the 308 is fast it's red and it's a proper ferrari sadly the 208 version which looks the same is the furthest from being a ferrari that a ferrari can be it was made exclusively for the italian market where at the time you had to pay 38 tax on cars with engines over 2 liters so to make the 308 more affordable they took its 3-liter v8 d-board it to 2.0 and called it a day first of all if you're calculating how much this or that will cost you shouldn't be buying a ferrari these are not cars for the ordinary people besides a poor man's model is ruining ferrari's exclusivity image second of all the 208 was one of the slowest ferraris ever made that 2 liter v8 was only producing 155 horsepower which was less than the 2-liter v6 found in its predecessor the dino and that's a car that enzo thought was too slow to have a ferrari name on it in the first place so how slow was the 208 then well how does 8.7 seconds to 60 in 17 seconds on a quarter mile sound to you that's slower than this ford transit van makes you want to shave that thing off number three the pagani zonda r is the best and the worst zonda at the same time and it pains me to say that because i love this thing it's just that the r is pushed so far that it became unusable to no one's surprise this is not a road legal car it also doesn't comply with any racing regulations so it's not a race car either and that leaves it being a track car just for having fun that's if you can handle it which you probably can't the cabin is hot and cramped the engine is bolted onto the tub and will vibrate your teeth out of your skull the gear changes are violent and the g-forces will squeeze your organs until you give up thinking that you a mere mortal can use this car to its fullest potential is like thinking that you can satisfy a porn star don't kid yourself you can't and then there's the loudness of it most race tracks have a 110 decibel noise limit which the zonda r breaches so not only will this thing cause you pain and hearing loss it will get you banned from most race tracks when top gear tests down on their track even with a muffler on it set off noise alarms in the closest city and the police were sent to stop the madness so in conclusion the r is a two million dollar zonda that you can't drive might as well hang it on the wall then number two the jaguar e-type is considered by many to be the most beautiful car ever made it tops countless best-looking car lists and even enzo ferrari was impressed by its swooping and majestic lines but the thing is when people praise the pretty jag they're usually talking about the coupe or the convertible but never about the third hemsworth brother which is the two plus two to make space for back seats the cabin was extended the roof was raised and the swooping rear line was made of i know it's not anatomically correct but it looks like it has a huge beer belly the proportions between the cabin and its slim body were ruined so much that the two plus two could honestly be called ugly and then it got worse the series two introduced several design changes largely due to u.s safety standards headlights didn't have the glass cover and were uglier taillights were larger misplaced and again uglier the bigger front grille while better at cooling the engine was also uglier but the final nail in the coffin was the series three there is no coupe anymore you can either have the roadster or the ugly two plus two the new emission standards made these straight sticks too weak so a v12 was introduced and that one needed even more cooling so what did jack do he's about to do something stupid they just added this additional square scoop under the grill but look how brutally it sticks out no sensibility to the existing lines just a sudden hole this might be the first time you'll hear these words but my god that e-type is ugly number one the audi a5 is great and so is the cabriolet version but a cabriolet four-pot diesel what volkswagen's 2-liter tdi engine was famous for being frugal but also being unrefined rattling and not very kind to living things now which of these that i just mentioned is good choice for a sexy looking drop top nothing you put the roof down and all you hear the agricultural diesel noises that's not a good sound but you know what's worse than that listening to the same pitch of that rattling noise the whole time thanks to audi's multi-tronic gearbox it's just a fancy name for a continuously variable transmission and i guess this should explain how it works instead having gears the cvt has two pairs of pulleys facing each other and a belt stuck between them by moving those cones closer or further away from one another the belt moves to a higher or lower ratio i know my explanation sucks but know this the engine always turns at the same ideal revs while the cbt is changing the ratio and making you go faster or slower and now imagine listening to the same diesel drone which is even more amplified i said it's even more amplified when you put the roof down rather go deaf you will another bad side of the cvt is that under high tension the belt can also slip so hard acceleration is slower than with a traditional gearbox it's just not a good fit for a sporty car honestly this a5 it's the worst thing imaginable except it actually exists what were they smoking and now three other shitty great cars [Music] and cut
