worst car you have ever driven.

[doglegleft]

Worst car I've driven is a toss up between my Mom's PT cruiser and an 07 I think Mitsubishi Gallant. Both had absolutely awful seating position. Numb controls. The PT has some of the worse blind spots I've ever seen. The PT's traction control system was pretty terrible too. Drove it in the winter once and brakes slid a tiny bit around a corner and the system started feathering the rear brake and cause it to spin around.

The second I saw this I thought, PT. What a POS. I got one for a car rental, backed it up, and then pulled forward a second later. Put the car in park went into the rental office at the airport and got a free upgrade. Terrible blind spots.

That would be it - Polonez Truck. Polish pickup from 80/90s. Driven in windy conditions where it was more like a sailboat...

Oh damn, never seen a pickup version. I used to walk down the street where the FSO factory was. My father learned to drive on a Fiat 125, it was imported from Italy, not the Polski Fiat version.

Actually, Polski Fiat 125p (which is based on Italian 124) is gaining a youngtimer status here. I see more and more of them restored. Some even made it into drift cars with M42 engines :)

+1 On the HHR! Biggest piece of crap ever! And I have owned some heaps in my day. The build quality is trash, the blind spots are horrid, you cant see out of the front window, the rotors warp after only a few thousand miles, and it handles like a red flyer wagon!

Toyota yaris sedan. I got it for a rental car when my car was in the shop.... Oh my god, what a piece of shit.

when I was a Kid we had a Green Volvo Station wagon, ugly as shit, no power to speak of, and it was death in the eyes of the ladies, I fucking despised that pile. also we had a Plymouth Reliant K-Car, that was a huge PoS pretty much Factory Direct. I Drove it while my folks were on Vacation(was not supposed to) bounced it of a curb, giving a tire a hernia, and later in the week, my buddy and I decided his Step dad was a douche, so we drove it through his hedge.

I didn't get to drive the folks car much after that, idk why...

both of these cars are right up there on the list of shittiest cars I have driven.

It has to be the Opel Corsa that I drove in Taiwan.
Such a POS.

I had one as my first car too. mocha(poop) brown with cloth tan interior. I tried REAL hard to enjoy that car and make it better than it was, but it's performance (backfiring when cold, and piss poor fuel economy from the single SU carb) made a Chev Citation seem like a teenage boy's wet dream come true.

Mine was an 81, and by the time i upgraded to an 84 Rabbit, I could not beleive what I was missing out on.

Shit cars are *almost* always better than walking, i don't like walking though

[dna1943]

This is going back some but the worst car ever was the Renault Dauphine. What a piece of crap. My dad wanted to buy one and as a teenager I talked him out of it.
My son-in-law had an early Rabbit diesel and when stopped for speeding he told the cop that his Rabbit diesel wouldn't do 60 if it fell off a cliff. The cop laughed and told him to be careful (no ticket).
