hahaha, on the page of the specs they were going over the caracteristics and they mentioned: Steering wheel - Yes (standard on driver's side)

It accelerates from 0-80km/h in under 20 seconds

damn and I thought my moms Yaris was bad

But the worst car I've driven is certainly a 1990 Ford Escort 1.4i. It was the car of a far relitive of mine and I was really astonished when I pressed the gas pedal the first time. The revs went up to the redline like I was in a superbike but I only started going slower... why? Well I think the motor belt (or how do you call it) was totally worn out, so it didn't grip anymore... So you have to accelerate very very softly to gain speed, otherwise all the power the engine produced was lost. And I didn't manage to go faster then about 70km/h... I can't imagine going up a steep hill with this car, don't think it could. Luckily the guy now has a new car... another ford :roll:

The second worst car I've driven is another ford. A Ford Fiest from 1988 I think, with a 1.8diesel engine. The car trembled so heavily when you were accelerating, that you thought it was going to fall apart

Sounds horrible. The worst thing I drove was one of those ugly Dodge Caravans.It was only for a day, but WOw - what a piece of shit!!! Similarly, If you turned the AC or Heat on, the gas pedal worse cease to work. So now your left with a car that is virtually undrivable. So basically this is only a van that you could drive in the spring/fall where there is little need to cool or heat your vehicle.

thamar that ibiza that you drove is from what year?

I have to disagree with you, my brother has an Ibiza, and i like his handling.

of course that are cars that the handling is great. for the car that is, has very good handling. (in my point of view of course)

The worst car I have ever driven has to be my room mates 1980?? Celica primer gray red carpet. Missing front bumper he got it for $800 over a year ago and has never once washed it. (not like that would make a difference)

cousin's 1986 mitsubishi mighty max pickup was horrid. no grip, no power, engine broke all the time, plastic interier from the mid 1970's cracked more than a whore n da ghetto. the lil blue pickup had a black front fender, and the headliner drooped like a tent. he didn't even think to ask a chic out on any dates until he got rid of that thing

i agree with red baron and stradale! Guys from US - come to europe! here you will find THE worst cars in the whole history! the fiat 126p, the tavria, the skoda 105, the citroen visa, yugo, opel kadett, suzuki alto, lada oka and my favourite the DAEWOO TICO!!! has anybody noticed that its engine sounds like an X-wing?! generally, old Communist-country-made cars, old korean and some european cars are really terrible in every way!!! the handling, the quality, the economy, the safety, the engine, the equipment, the comfort, the relibility, the cabin and trunk space,the joy of travelling - you will find none of those in a fiat 126p or a daewoo tico!!!

89 chevy celebrity.
i owned it unfortunately. it came down to my saab getting wreaked, and not having more then 200$ so i bought it, and ran it til it died..... scariest driving ever at or below the speed limit. breaks almost worked, fuel injector (just one) didnt like to work, interior may as well have been a couch in a hick's yard, and it had a 3 speed auto
my best 0-60 time was 14.6s
best 60-0 about 240 ft.
