Default What's the worst car you've had

Ok what's the worst car you've had and why
I'll start off with... A car I purchased for the household senior manager.
1982 Hyundai. Pony. Yeuch!
Why? It was so crap I found myself cleaning it with bog paper
It was so bland and utterly ungood in any way I find it hard to specify any particular characteristic that stood out from the overwhelming crapness.

Over to you...

I've been spoilt in my one year if motoring and havent really had a bad car, started off with an A6, then an A8 now the S8 & 335. Also got a fully loaded E39 535 V8 and a stray S6 at home I drive about a lot. Also had few E36 325s which I brought as 'spares repairs' all been very good. E36 325s probably the worst but nothing really bad with 'um.

My first car was a 1984 PAssat GL5i, had since then a sucsetion of brilliant Audi's but there was a shortl glitch where for about a week in college I accidentally owned an Orian Ghia 1.6. Best thing about it was gettin rid of it!! Not really had any poor cars aside from that one.
I did buy my wife a Zafira 1.6 - that was just terrible!!!! Replaced it with a Golg V6 4motion so that's better now, we're over it!

my worst was a MGB GT. bought it to replace a 63 Ford Zephyr as I wanted something sporty... it was 'rubbish' so much so that even though it was a shiny decent condition example 9 months later I picked up a shed of a Triumph Vitesse 2 Litre and walking out each morning with both keys on teh keyring I got in the Triumph 90% of teh time, it was rusty, it was thirsty, it didn't handle ina good way but it was soooo much nicer car to drive.

Luckily I've avoided most of teh boring stuff as I was always into classics and sporty stuff.

Mine was a 1988 Mk4 Ford Escort 1.4L. It had no redeeming features at all and every single thing about it was fooking rubbish but it's only slightly worse than an '05 Vectra I had.
