Jeremy Clarkson's list of 'bad cars' might surprise you

Cape Town - Here's a little secret: Jeremy Clarkson the broadcaster, is only second to Clarkson the writer. Just look at his reasoning for the cars that have made his worst car list in his Sunday Times column

Famous for shouting on power as he slides monstrously powerful cars around a race track, the former BBC Top Gear host put into words what all (we hope) petrolheads believe when it comes to awful cars: "I truly despise boring cars. I hate the lack of imagination. It causes me heartache when I’m in a car that goes and stops and steers and does nothing else."

Clarkson on the Renault Kadjar: "It offers nothing that would make you buy one if you could use a Google car-club vehicle instead. Both are soulless tools. But one is much, much cheaper."
