BIN HELL

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE GREAT BIN CITY
ITS A GREAT BIG MEME
WHERE THE CARS ARE SHITTY
TAAAAAKE
MEEEEEE
HOOOOME

Note: I haven't finished filling the spreadsheet, so I won't write alot about these cars, except for one major standout

Canmo Trois

@crwpitman1

Binned for making the same mistake of the first 3 and using super leaded fuel


Uanoi Sezan

@LennoxV10

Binned for using low quality fuel, even though it would have zero benefit over any other fuel if it was legal


Moretti Torino 1315s

@RAZR

Binned for the front tire width ending in 0 with radials, but ohhh boy is it still one clusterfuck of bad engineering everywhere, including: TWO FUCKING SEVENTY FIVEmm rear tires, a premium interior with a phonograph at +5 quality, hydropneumatic suspension, and an aluminum engine block with cast heads. Because of all of this, it is dead last in terms of cost, service costs, reliability and fuel economy. It obviously dominates the comfort category, but that wouldn't matter anyway.

REVIEWS


KMA KC1 1.5

@abg7

The design is really basic, and doesn’t really wow me at all. But it sill has some decent stats, especially in drivability, which is the 2nd highest out of all the submissions.


Seongu Kando 1.2 LX

@AndiD

If we ignore the o_o staring into nothingness, it is actually a really competitive car, being 1st in price and drivability, with great reliability as well. If only it looked better.

Aileron Malabar 1000

@Arn38fr

An amazing design with good detail everywhere; I think the rake adds some character, too. It also has great fuel economy and drivability, with its strongest point being the (2nd) lowest service costs of the field. (by $.5, so close.) However, one drawback is the low comfort.

Compaq Biarritz 1100

@Bbestdu28

Looks very similar to the previous car, although not bad, feels less well executed. It's very average in most places, but costs alot (probably because all the techpool is in the engine) and has low drivability despite being front wheel drive. Another oddity is despite it using fuel injection, it only just manages to get above the average fuel economy.

Otari Pica 1000

@Ch_Flash

A lovely design, it just oozes classic city car quirkiness. Unfourtanetly, it seems below average everywhere, and really bad in terms of fuel economy and service costs. It still is pretty comfortable, though.

ISTK Muscovite

@conan

Nothing good or bad to say about the looks, with major up in the realms of cost, service costs and the highest reliability of all the cars, but then there are also the downs of below average fuel economy and some of the worst drivability.

BetterDeals HPD

@Djadania

This… contraption? Doohickey? Thingymajig maybe?.. is very cheap as its name boasts and has low service costs, plus it absolutely sweeps the floor in terms of fuel economy at a whopping 55 mpg. Everywhere else, it is absolutely shit, especially in drivability, where the 22 hp 421 cc lawnmower engine makes it barely capable of moving and consequentially makes drivability the worst here. Just look at that sad face, he just begs for the sweet release of death.


KHI Model 60 S

@doot

A sorta basic design, but it still manages to look unique, which I admire. It has quite the odd engineering, with a V6 in the rear, resulting in poor fuel economy and a relatively high price. However, it does have decent service costs and reliability.

Primus Publica F DeLuxe

@Happyhungryhippo

A really wonky design, especially with the giant headlights and the high ride height from the ancient solid axle front suspension literally elevates this fact. Despite the ancient suspension, it sill manages to score above average in most areas, even drivability, but it still gets the worst sportiness out of everything.

Franklin HiWay

@Jaimz68

A poor design; I feel like the pure white paint with zero flake makes it even worse. Statistically, there isn't anything noteworthy either, having all stats below average.

Régal Essex 1.2L

@karhgath

I really like the design of this, especially with the molding around the headlights, even if it doesn't look that smooth. It also has great stats across the board, especially in terms of drivability and reliability.

Saarland Adjunkt

@Knugcab

Alright design, but I don't like the round headlights in a square grille. it isn't bad in terms of cost or service costs, and has great reliability, but it gets poor fuel economy and has poor comfort.

Floyd Citadine 1.3

@Lanson

Very strong looks, with good detail all around. However, despite the small 1.3 liter engine and front wheel drive, it's fuel economy and drivability are pretty poor.

Swanson 111GSC 6CV

@Ludvig

It doesn't look bad, but I just don't think they are to my taste in 60s city cars. Statistically, it absolutely sweeps the floor in terms of sportiness, even though it was a 1 star priority. Consequentially, fuel economy suffers quite a bit, but it is still out-accelerated to 60 by a car with half the sportiness. How unfortunate.

Knightwick K45

@mart1n2005

A very clean yet dated looking design, shown by the fact that this is technically the oldest car here, riding one a platform from 1959. It's a mix between below and above average stats, but the area is suffers in most is fuel economy.

Hephaestus Lupin 800

@Maverick74

Altough it is clearly inspired by that wacky anime Fiat, it still manages to look unique as well. Statistically, its another mixed bag; despite being the smallest and lightest car here, it doesn't even manage to get above average fuel economy. And unfourtanetly due to the rear engine curse, drivability is really poor.

Stockholm 404CC

@Odyssey_Fan

I really don't like the styling, all the elements just look way too square, even for 60s standards. To add salt to the wound, it costs a lot, it isn't that fuel efficient, and the drivability is below average, ironic because it is front wheel drive and has power steering. (technically the only one to use it since there were 2 others but they were binned!)

GSI Écureuil

@oppositelock

It looks sort of like a Trabant, which means there is very little to the design, but the cool side stripe makes it look a bit better. And much like a Trabant, it is cheap, but terribly inefficient and terrible to drive.

Yamazaki Constellation

@S_U_C_C_U_L_E_N_T

This is aesthetically the winner here, but unfourtanetly it is below average in all stats, and has the 2nd worst drivability out of all the cars here, only beating out the contraption. What a shame.


MAHG Psi ALS Millésime 66

@S31

On paper, this is a really good car, my hopes were up when I saw really strong stats across the board, then they cam crashing down once I saw the mess it actually was, especially with the front fenders extended out more than the rear and the really inset wheels. Would have been really competitive if it weren't for the looks.

Houston Alicorn

@Sealboi

A prime example of what I would expect from an American car: huge chrome bumpers, and outdated but really fast. It has the quickest 0-60 time and is the only car here capable of going faster than 100 mph. But unsurprisingly, it has poor fuel economy and is expensive because no techpool was used.

TMC Syrena 104 L

@Vampire82

A replica of a real car but worse; not sure what to really say here because I don't think anyone has ever done that in a challenge before. Despite also using zero techpool (intentionally, maybe?) It is actually pretty good, especially in service costs where they are the cheapest of them all, but unfourtanetly it is dead last in both comfort and reliability by quite a margin.

Note: You didn’t follow the submission format but because this is your first ever entry, i’ll let it slide. Other hosts would bin the shit out of you for not following it. Still, very impressive for a first timer!


HPB Wszędzie

@Vento

I had a sliver of hope that I would see a good looking Vento car, but then that all went flying out the window when I panned over to the side to see the horrible fucking donk this thing really was. For some reason, it has really good stats as well and I have no idea why: it is the 2nd cheapest just behind the Seongu, and this monster truck somehow gets above 30 mpg.

Maybe in the future, you could collab with someone else for them do design the car while you engineer it? I believe that could be an easy podium.


Monroe Flitzer

@xsneakyxsimx

It looks like a car, yay. Very strong stats everywhere, but slightly below average reliability. Lets just move onto the results.

RESULTS

Jean-Pierre decided to buy a brand new Régal Essex for trips to the café for his French government prescribed daily baguette and wine in style.

Well, i got what i wanted. Mission success.

Also, i feel sorry for Vento.
(I also feel sorry for BetterDeals for being mocked so much without them knowing. Real company)

That makes it a meme build, and a min-maxed one at that - best-in-class fuel economy, but very bad at everything else.

I’m sad… Shame my good car wasn’t in challenges.

Yaaaay, I made a car.

Edit: @LS_Swapped_Rx-7 I assume my… ahem design skills was the major detractor for this?

I’m greatly relieved to find out that my car had some merit, especially in terms of drivability (presumably because I went with a transverse FWD configuration and tuned it well, unlike some of the other submissions here which had the same layout). Speaking of which, drivability was a key issue for many of the rear-engined cars in this round, although narrower, higher-profile tires would have helped them in this regard.

Yay fourth best shitbox, it is the K45 not K35 though I will point out

I’m surprised my fuel economy isn’t that great though as it’s a pretty small inline 4 engine with ohv. Are people using ohc or really lean mixtures on the fuel?

I went for a very lean fuel map, and chose an OHV engine for reliability - an OHC engine is more efficient, but less reliable by comparison.

I used OHC, but the prehistoric chassis kept my reliability at the top. However, my suspension tuning seems to be really on point.

I knew it wouldnt win, but my meme build scored Not too bad.

Just for fun I made a front engine version of the Pica, it has an inline 4 with the about the same specs as the Boxer in the other car. I gained some in economy and lost some in comfort.

Aimed for a poor man’s Lotus Cortina, built a Trabant. :skull:
