Today on Ideal, we delve into the dark side of the automotive world, uncovering six cars that should come with a warning label. First up, the Mazda RX8, a car that looks the part but fails to deliver on the road. Its rotary engine is a ticking time bomb, prone to flooding and Apex seal issues that spell disaster for unsuspecting owners. Next, we have the Audi TT, a sleek German machine that once had a deadly secret - a tendency to snap oversteer and send drivers careening off the road. Combine that with pricey maintenance and electrical gremlins, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

Moving on to the Pontiac Solstice, a wannabe sports car that falls short in every department. From its lackluster performance to a cheap interior filled with rattles and defects, this car is a disaster waiting to happen. Then there's the Mercedes SL600, a luxury grand tourer that will drain your bank account faster than you can say "V12 engine." With a laundry list of issues, from leaky fuel injectors to biodegradable wiring harnesses, this beauty is best admired from afar. And let's not forget the Pontiac Fiero, a mid-engine marvel turned fiery death trap, plagued by engine fires, sluggish performance, and shoddy construction.

Last but certainly not least, we have the BMW E60 M5, a beast of a sedan with a dark side. While its V10 engine roars like a lion, it's the rod bearing failures and SMG transmission woes that will leave you stranded and broke. Add in a host of electrical problems and you've got a recipe for automotive disaster. So, heed our warning, dear viewers, and steer clear of these six cars unless you're a glutton for punishment. Remember, in the world of cars, not everything that glitters is gold.
