    Could be the worst car you ever owned or had the misfortune to drive.

    I once had to drive a hearing aid beige mk3 Es*ort owned by a mate of mine [8(]
    i dont think it had one redeeming quality

    citroen c2 vtr with it's auto box is pretty damn horrible, any 206 is quite nasty, and any rover/mg - unfortunately, i've driven a fair amount of 'em................

    Really? I know a couple of people that have driven them and said they're actually good fun to drive if you can put up with being labelled a chav even in a non-modified one haha

    Nissan Sunny, with dual controls ;). This version:

    [​IMG]

    A POS, crap trim, light controls (clutch, accel - everything). Utter rubbish. 5h1t looks, designed for codgers.

    And a Mk4 Escort 1.6L. Sprung like a boat, went through front tyres and downpipes like a locust. Car I learnt not to use a clutch in - and then bust the syncros on second gear. Ha, ha. Lift-off oversteer was a learning experience though, and it had an excellent handbrake.

    we had one of these as a pool car at work once upon a time.

    It was a ****ty sky blue colour and the steering wheel was about 3 mm thick :lol:

    was quite nippy fpr a 1.3 if i remember.

    i once drove over a brick that had somehow found its way into the road and ****ed up the tracking [:$] took it back into work and told the manager "last time in taking that out the steerings ****ed" :lol:

    Daewoo Matiz.

    Terrible terrible car - especially the crap we had. I'm sure it had a 750cc engine which wasn't helped by having 3 lads + backpacks in it. We couldn't fit in, so the parcel shelf had to be sacrificed to the car gods and my mate had to have his bag on his lap for 150km of Queenslands finest roads.

    toyota prius- may as well have been in a train it was that involving to drive. slow, boring, ugly. but the sat nav was good on it!

    mk2 renault laguna tdi 150- ooodles of body roll (made me feel car sick even though i was driving it), masses of turbo lag and had to keep changing gear every 2 secs to keep it on boost. and nearly sent my gf throught he windscreen as te brakes had no feel whatsoever and had about 2mm of travel before you do an emergency stop. and no room at all for such a big estate car. works transit van was better to drive!

    my old lada lowrider, scariest car ive ever driven!!!

    only had shocks on the back and stiff coils on the front so if u hit a bump round a corner u would end up hopping into a field!!

    the brakes were terrible and barely worked, plus it pulled to the left!

    when u steered it took a couple seconds to react to what you had just done! when driving on motorways at high speeds 50-60mph the steering didnt feel connected and the rear end swayed like a b*itch!!! like driving a snake!

    i had it at 90 onces the engine was screaming! my ears were ringin after, was a great fun car at slow speeds hoppin etc tho
    glad its gone
