Mazda CX-5 or CX-9...
Both are just so massively underpowered. The CX9 feels okay to about 2,500rpm, but then just falls on its face. The CX5 never gets going.

I totaled my '16 Mazda 3 S GT 6 speed last year and haven't missed that wheezy, inefficient thing for a second. I want to love Mazda, I've had a few Miatas, and my dad had his FD Rex until this year. But their current engines are awful.
