Default Heres a twist, whats the Worst car uve ever driven?

Probably already posted, but whats the worst car you have ever driven? Ive only driven 6 different cars in my life, but the car I drove yesterday is by far the worst. Its my grandmas car that I borrowed to take my driving test in. A 1996 Dodge Stratus. Everything in the car feels so plasticy and cheap. The gas pedal especially pisses me off cuz its so damn sensitive that I cant drive smoothly with it. All the accessories look like shit, its slow, ugly, not efficient. It has absolutely nothing going for it. What cars have u guys driven that are horrible?

1996 Chevy Cavalier. Quality engineering at it's finest. That being said I am hardly the example to look at. I stay miles away from econo cars.

on top of my list would be:
2003 pontiac sunfire..., actually, all of them..
my work uses them for delivery.. they have a few honda civics and some new sunfires.. they require so much attention with only 5000 kms.. and everything is falling apart...it feels so 80's inside....analog radio tuner and analog volume control took a while to get use to..

I drove a Ford Pinto for about a mile and a half to the junk yard. It
was absolutely horrable. I doubt that I have to say anything else about it, cause
you guys already know its horrable and why.

My girlfriend's nissan sentra 2002, with an histerical brake pedal, touch it and you're already slowing a lot! Feelless steering wheel unless you hit any kind of irregular pavement.

92' cavalier, awful interiors, all looks... ugly and the car at 100 km/hr begins to ... mmm in spanish is "lanchear", similar to the movement of boats in water at high speed.

vw old beetle, the engine got into your nerves, lots of noise, squeaks from the dashboard, doors, handles, seats, everything.

dodge neon 95', 3 speed auto gearbox, cheap plastics, lazy engine and the gearbox doesn't help much, starts to fall apart at...10000 kms.

and lots of other cars, but not because they were bad cars, the cause was their dumbass owners who don't change the engines oil for 100,000kms, etc. (sometimes i sell used cars,so i get to drive old ones)

Ha! A 1980 AMC Eagle. If the car went over 65mph, the oil would overheat. If you tried to turn on the Air Conditioning, the radio would go out and the clock would stop. When you pushed on the horn, the windshield wipers had tendency to activate. My friens and I donated that car to the Salvation Army. :roll:

i had a Ford escord from 1980, first car fastest speed i got was around 50mph going downhill. then a 1991 ford ranger i had to change the cluth every 3 month without even working the truck. i took the engine apart twice and found nothing wrong with the truck i even took it to the dealer and see if they could get it started, they did a diagnostic and found nothing wrong with the truck, but the couldn't get it started.

My car !! no i am joking but it's not far.
The worst was a Renault 5 diesel that was lending as replacement car to my mother by a garage. I start it, select reverse, try to accelerate to reverse, there was so few power that i immediatly parked it and never touch it again. I wonder what it would give on the road.

Hey! What happens with the Citroen AX? It's my car, and it's AMAZING!! It can beat any car at any moment! With my incredible AX I would be able to beat a...a car like...well, in that moment I can't remember any car that I could beat but I'm sure there must be one...
