worst car for me was a YUGO van my mate bought it brand new and it was i right pile of ****. he only had it 12 weeks he hit a deer in it and wrote it off the deer ran off ok :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Citroën 2CV's are pretty bad as are the original Fiat Panda's. Don't let that 4x4 badge fool you, they don't do mud :lol:

Hillman Imp.
Remember those kiddies toy stick on steering wheels as in the opening credits of 'The Simpsons' ? One of those, on the passenger side, would give a lot more feel, confidence and control than the one supplied by the factory. And no brakes. Or coolant most of the time....
 
L reg vauxhall corsa van, work had it as a run about at the time, the steering wheel was vaguely connected to the front wheels, the clutch was set in concrete it was that hard, it was only a few years old when they had to get as it was rotten......
 
Saab convertible (900 style I think)....hated it....about as much structual ridgidity as jelly!
Made even worse by the woeful lack of power.
Hit a pothole and it felt like it would shake itself to pieces...just after ripping the steering wheel out of your hands!
Never again....hopefully
 
A Mercedes 220 cdi sport, the ECU went 6 times, and in the end my brother had to tell them to keep the bloody thing. I broke down at least 3 times in it, taxis home. Beautiful car but the worst/most unreliable i have ever driven.
 
My dad's Citroen CX, which bizarrely I drove for practice when learning. Whoever designed it was on some serious drugs... brake pedal was a switch, power steering was like driving a video game, stupid indicator switch on top of the dashboard, rotating drum speedo and that suspension... wait 5 mins for the car to rise from the ground before you could drive it and then, like sailing to Calais in a force 10...
 
I was given a new shape Ford KA as a courtesy car once. After a single return commute I drove it back to the centre and demanded a change. Hateful little car.
 
sorry but for a true nightmare you need one of these..http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRkpqrQwPTpLldxyuSmXCtWXOQdXh3ri0UfYxEqj2znGC23G87VDw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .. and they did a turbo version ..how bad does it need to be... :lol:
 
Bedford CF dormabile, it looked a bit like the A-team van but in baby blue, the rear wheels were so stupidly wide you always hit the curb when turning left, and the gear lever used to come out in your hand!! Oh and the poptop used to leak.
 
Twingo, had one as a hire car once as its all they had left... Bloody awful

Yep totally agree !

I drove a Montego Turbo for a bit & remember the torque steer from the PI55 poor turbo was a joke.

On the other hand the Metro turbo was fun car for its time, they didn't last that long, but the lift-off oversteer was pretty good :msn4:
 
When I was a kid my dad's Montego estate got nicked by joyriders. They drove it from Nottingham to Derby and the dumped it. Didn't even burn it out. We got a call from the cops asking us to go and collect it :lol:

I don't like Fiat Seicentos. Feels like a your sitting in a crisp packet, and in a car with the pedals so close together accidents are bound to happen.

Drove a samba that was pretty awful. One bungee holding the door shut, another one holding it in forth gear, badly lowered, loads of play in the steering, disc conversion with no servo might as well have hung my shirt out the window as a brake parachute and narrowed beam so it was jumping in and out of the lorry ruts on the A1.
