What is the worst car you have ever driven?

Some interesting replies here.

For me some of the worst cars possibly weren’t the worst however they seemed bad at the time because I wanted to be driving something else.

I drove a Mercedes Benz Sprinter van (which I loved) and had to drive a Ford Transit for a couple of days due to job logistics. I hated leaving my Sprinter with another guy at work and then the Transit blew a turbo.The guy didn’t clean it, so it was dirty and he had no tools to fix anything. I ended up putting over 100L of oil on the company fuel card to get it back to the yard to get it fixed. It cost them a new exhaust as well as so much oil going through the motor just blocked it up. I hated that thing.

Then I have driven a Acco B1800 (I think) years ago on a farm in WA. It had a 4 speed crash box with a 3 speed, crash joey box. It would take me 10km to reach 40km/h and then I’d have to stop. That was all if I didn’tpass out from the heat of the motor or run of the road because there was so much movement in the axles. It was probably a terrible thing to drive but Iloved it.

I love all KE55 (1979) Toyota Corollas. I have owned a few(more than 5). I had one as my first car and I know them inside out. I don’t think there is anything I couldn’t fix on them. They aren’t fast, they don’t handle that well but I love them.

I had a MY2005 WRX that I bought new. I loved it too and it was the longest I have owned any single car. Worst thing was I worried about i ttoo much and therefore I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could have.

If I’d been asked this question 3 – 4 months ago I would have said my Disco 2 because so much **** was wrong with it. Now I love it.

I love driving everything. It’s what stops me being able to drive it that I hate.

AU falcon. Was a work car with 25,000km on the clock. I had to drive it once and when I gave the keys back I told them to take it to the mechanic to find out what was wrong with it.

After that I always took my own car which was an XF panel van and much more enjoyable drive. The experience of driving it meant that when we were looking for a newer falcon ourselves to replace our old XE wagon I refused to even look at the AU falcons the dealer was trying to sell us. We ended up buying a V8 NL Fairlane. Great car to drive but horrible to own.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I've come up with one.

A 1978 Toyota Corona. Drum brakes, No power, heavy, thirsty, uncomfortable, poor handling.

I near crashed one on Kangaroo Valley. Terrible under steer out of a hair pin bend. I managed to stop about a foot of a rock wall.

Funny stuff.
