Some car communities are worse than others, but these are downright toxic.

Granted, while everyone is entitled to their own opinion and can like whatever they want, there are a few people in this world who take it way too far.

Almost every car in the world has some type of following, but with these ones, it’s more like a cult.

This list comes as a result of those hardcore followers of a particular vehicle who endlessly argue (and brag) that their favourite car is 'the best in the world'. And if you disagree - YOU ARE WRONG!

Here are the top five cars with the worst fanboys.

5. Subaru Impreza WRX

These are the type of people who take their bug eyed WRX STi to every muscle car meet and McDonalds carpark to rev the guts out of it while talking smack about being able to smoke everyone else. The associated Subaru 'warble', is not an attribute that the rest of the world likes, or cares about. Go home.

Trust me, you don't want to associate yourself with these people. Even if they vape. Not everyone can reach that level of 'cool', so don't even try it.

4. BMW 3 series

Trust me - nothing says 'I'm an insecure businessman with impotence issues' more than a two-door BMW 3 series. A convertible on the other hand just shouts, "my husband cheated on me, and this was his make up present".

What most people think when they see someone driving a 3 series is they don’t know anything about cars (unless it's an M3), or that their daddy bought them the car as a birthday present.

However, if you bought one yourself - and it isn't a povo-spec 318i - then congratulations, chances are you're only part-arsehole.

3. Honda Civic

VTEC kicked in yo! The famous battle cry of a Honda fanboy that makes most car enthusiasts laugh instead of quiver in fear.

While the power and reliability combo of Honda's VTEC system is, in all honesty, a fairly impressive feat of engineering, Honda enthusiasts more than make up for it with senseless modifications.

The worst offenders here are Honda Civic owners. Yes, those pre-pubescent Lynx-bathing morons, thanks to their love for installing fart cannons, ridiculous wheels, and applying an endless amount of unfunny stickers to their hatchback.

Given these are mostly teenagers, good chance they'll grow out of this phase when they realise there are better cars out there. Kinda like Emos, in a way.

2. Ford Falcon/Holden Commodore 

V8-powered Fords and Holdens are Aussie favourites, but it's just a pity that most of these fans are bogans.

Yes, even our local heroes have a toxic community. They're the type that has a southern cross tattoo on their chest, believes Pauline Hanson should be Prime Minister, and chugs more VB than their V8 drinks petrol.

Even with our performance cars reaching the end of the road, these people will only become more patriotic and will remind people nothing can replace the Fords and Holdens of old.

Which is true, but you know, try to be humble about it.

1. Nissan Skyline

This shouldn't come as a surprise as Skyline owners have built a terrible reputation for themselves ever since the arrival of Godzilla back in 1989.

Owners and fanboys have hyped about the Skyline’s capabilities, even to the point where the base model is now cherished as God's gift to man.

While the Skyline GT-R is a very impressive car, due to its racing pedigree, AWD system and RB26DETT engine, the base-spec models aren't. Stop saying otherwise.

Keep telling yourself that it's a GT-R for people who "don't want the complexity of an AWD system", when in actual fact it's because you couldn't afford it. Or that the local 4-speed GT was the only one that hasn't been wrapped around a tree.

What car do you think has the most annoying followers? Let us know in the comments.
