* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Several people (mainly in the preschool show hatedom) have ranted on this show, claiming it ripped off ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''.
* TheWoobie: Roary himself can be considered this, both in and out of universe. He is constantly being taunted by Maxi, and it often really gets to him. But that is only the beginning. In a meta sense, Roary also lives in the shadow of WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends and WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder, whose fame overshadowed him. Although Roary achieved fame, it fizzled out quickly, and Roary faded into obscurity.

Rainwater is unsafe to drink in real life, so "Out of Juice" can be uncomfortable to watch for some people nowadays.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: While Maxi does come off as unnecessarily mean towards Roary, there have been times when his arguments had some merit to them. At times, he stated that Roary needed a new engine if he wanted a chance of beating him. Roary is a smaller car than Maxi, and so logically he would have a smaller, less powerful engine.
