Ricey Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Another contender would be the Hyundai Getz. It doesn't Getz much worse than that! We had a little Getz when we were in Oz and we actually liked it as we were expecting utter utter crap. We even christened him 'Jizz' because he was white.

Flex Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Smart Car with sequential gearbox thingy. I felt like I was on a rocking horse. Smart cars should be banned from the road, they're dangerous, ugly and stupid. Except for the Brabus, which does actually earn some credit. No matter how HARD you are, you're never going to look cool...... I agree with most of that but I loved the smart I had until the turbo broke and then I hated it. I had it sky bound up in yorkshire, when it came back to earth it bounced on each wheel (I thought it was going to be game over) then recovered, had a chuckle once I managed to get my heart back in my chest.

GMballistic Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Actually. When I think about it the wife's Megane is pretty horrific too. 1.6 but feels like a 1.0. Creaks like a whores bed. Gearbox feels almost agricultural. No power at all. You can't put anything on the seats as it then thinks it's a person and beeps relentlessly telling you to fasten the seat belt around your shopping. Steering is far too light with no feel. Brakes are terrible. And because discs are part of the hub they cost a fortune to replace. Driving position is all wrong and feels like you sit too far to the right. Clutch is heavy and the car is a bitch in traffic. Trim finish is worse than some 90s Japanese cars. Heat shield bolts constantly shear and cause an annoying rattle underneath. Munches front tyres. And worst of all - she loves it and will never ever sell it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 @Ricey I just couldn't get on with it. Don't get me wrong it's crap like but after 26 hours of greyhound bus travel it was pretty much like a GT40 to us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have now decided my winner is a 1993 VW Polo Genesis Couple. Vile steering, suspension made from concrete, seats that I could never get comfortable in, sounded like a broken sewing machine and had a gearbox as rubbery as a Malaysian forest. Then it injured me. While I was at an event, testing a tarmac rally car, my mother in law endeavoured to move the Polo off my driveway (she normally drove an automatic). Somehow she managed to reverse at high speed and embed the Polo into the side of my house. I was called back to try and sort it out. In the process of trying to extricate the remains I suffered a prolapsed disc and was off work for 6 weeks. That car was a pig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 My brother-in-law had a pug 206. That was pretty horrid. Everything about it was vacant and the throw on the gears was like a combine harvester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 On paper, the worst car I have driven is this: 300cc engine, handlebars lights like candles not water tight windscreen wiper doesn't work on half the screen as it's curved so much 1 forward and reverse gears only with no clutch to engage no auto choke arse to start noisy as anything tyres windows are zips unstable as anything no-one see's you on the road when you fill up with fuel the entire "cabin" stinks of fuel for weeks the wing mirrors are literally useless no locks BUT It's an absolute hoot to drive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobears Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Wasso, my daughter would just love that SmartCar Kitty Mobile!!! For me the worst car I've ever driven was the Ssang Yong Rectum. Or at least that's what I called it. It was more like a boat than a car. I had to plan corners well in advance because wallowy doesn't do justice to the revolting thing. Driving it actually made me feel ill because it rolled so much. Never again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Morris marina was the worst car I've ever driven/owned, it felt like the front wheels were somehow not attached to the steering wheel it wallowed and severely under steered round even the slightest bend in the road yet managed to give almost back breaking jolts over the slightest of bumps in the road, it had to be coaxed into going up hill, had terrible brakes and was a pita to get started in the mornings and last but not least when it rained water used to gather in the foot wells...... a truly hateful car that should never have been built 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Also, the mk3 1.6L Focus is an utter turd. Messy cabin, lifeless steering, gutless engine, and those rear light clusters are just a shocking piece of design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 A Land Rover 109 Petrol with army spec offroad tyres and heating not worth a crap! I drove it in while I was at college for work purposes, It's one of those agricultural drives that was that bad it was almost good! Bounced down the road, slow, cold, 4 speed, and steering that was more a request than and instruction to the front wheels. I miss it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
