worst car ever?

**philla4tdi** · 27-10-2008,11:00 PM

my first 3 cars came to less than £200 combined, but due to the a4 being ill i have just borrowed the old mans laguna, and boy its bad.... 2005 plate, 2.0l 16v i think, not quite top spec, but not far off.... bad steering( dangerous under steer), brakes(vicious, then kinda disappear), driving position, ( had to have the sun roof cover bit open to fit), steering wheel obstructs the dials, accelerator pedal is proper stiff. could go on. like i say, i have driven some bad cars, but this is REAL bad.
others for my list are;
citroen berlingo van, mainly for brakes and seating position, and viability.
renault clio 1.2, mk 1. just bad, but cheap!
ford escort 1.2 mk 2, odd gears(think this is why i dont like fords), horribly guttless and seems to not turn left very well. or right.
pug 106 994cc, my first car and i loved it. but it is a turd.
these may be one bad car i that has been abused in the past that i have driven and the rest are great, but who knows?
any thoughts?

i thought i would let you spot the french thing!
a friend has a mazda 323 v6 on a p reg that i have driven and it was alright, a bit hairy, not as good as he says, buts thats the only mazda i have driven. ax are also nasty, agree with you there. and any car without power steering should be on the list!

is ford french? me thinks not... educate me!

Mazda's are pretty Gay but they don't break down.

i like! the ford escort cosworth is beautiful but not had the honor to drive one... imo ford gearboxes dont feel right, almost not enough positive movement, feels like moving a stick in a bag of bolts....

Or a wooden spoon in a saucepan full of Custard.

Anything FIAT or Fix It Again Tomorrow is also Uber Gay!

i love fiats! owned a uno, proper old clapped out thing but just kept on going.... dont use the clutch, just rip the gears and keep your foot on the gas! exhaust kept on falling off though thinking about it... ended up upside down in a field, rolled it over and drove it to the scrappy, get in! the punto my mum had and was ok for a city car, not good trim though, real cheap..... and the punto turbo was good, just well unreliable, and well beatable...
