I guess for me, it'd have to be a 96 daewoo cielo.



-Gutless down low, harsh and wheezy up top

-Doors shut with a wobbly clang

-Interior plastics are all shiny and hollow

-Engine bay is full of f*ck

-Ride is terrible, suspension finds all the small bumps in the road

-Alarming amounts of body roll at suburban speeds

-Body creaks over bumps and around corners

-Body panels have huge and uneven gaps

-Weak reliability

-Expensive parts



Yuck. What's yours?

Ford Focus. "Stability Control" hit the brakes when I got loose at the apex and sent me into a field.

This thing.

Driving it with no interior, no seat belts, no seat and questionable brakes. Plus it pulls crazy even at low speeds due to poor alignment. Why? Because Race Car.

^Lol!!!!!!



Mine was a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu hatchback rental car. Fthat thing. EVERYTHING about the design inside and out did NOT make any sense. Embarrassing to drive to school, let alone anywhere. You get a quirky feeling that you are obliged to explain your irrational choice of car to anyone that looks at you and wonders why you would hate your life so much to buy one.

86 Chevette. Gas and brake are so close together that if your shoe size is bigger than size 7 and you have to slam on the brakes........ good luck!



Something like this-

early 2000s ford taurus rental was auto and had park bench like seats slow ugly pos ,and my first car an 85 lebaron turbo mostly because it leaked oil, trans fluid, brake fluid, ps fluid, even washer fluid and bad shocks and crap tires all contributed to its schetchiness. But I really cant complain for $500 it was fast as long as the road was straight and lasted 2 years before it puked its guts out.

99 Chrysler Sebring convertible.





Its slow, loose and annoying. First of all add on the drop top and you put all of the weight in the trunk, for some reason. But the drive wheels are in the front. then the wheel base is too long to maneuver in less than 16 turns and despite it's wide nature, the damn car is planted on what seem like bicycle wheels and given as narrow a track as possible. Then they loosened the suspension until the slightness breeze feels like a torrent of ocean current. Add all of that and give the damn thing a severely under powered, overweight motor, you get one really REALLY crappy car. That's not even getting to the fisher price dash board, seats reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, and speeds rivaling only the G Wiz with the fuel economy of a series 1 Lamborghini Espada.
