In your opinion, What is the worst car ever made?

Answer 1

i would say a chevy trailbazer 05 never going to lease a chevy

Answer 2

Doug K, I have to say the K-Car was not a pos, I have owned two of them in the past, and together, have logged over a million km on them, or very close to. The things would go forever before they died, If they were maintained.

And a lot of the POS cars you've been mentioning, were designed to be cheap to buy, and cheap to run, and when the first big repair bill came alone, they were to be discarded and a new one bought. This is knows as a "Disposible Vehicle", like the Neon, or the Sunfire

Probalby the worst in my opinion, Volkswagon, Skoda, Seat, Saab, Yugo, Porsche. European/Russian vehicles are junk. I see more of them in the shop for stupid "small" problmes that lead into the thousands of dollars and then there is the lack of quality and lack of engeering knowhow. I cringe, along with any other technician I work with, whenever anything european come into the shop. They seem all high tech, but they are mroe of a pain then anything. Like Audi, and having to have the special Audi scantool to check the transmission fluid (no joke). Or how about the Porsche (thats in on the hoist right now) needing a clutch because the rear main seal leaked oil onto the clutch and ruined it. When looking at the oil leaks when up in the air, the engine could no be seen through all the oil. Did i mention the car had 25 000km on it. Hows that for $100 000 worth of quality?

Answer 3

This is easy -- the Chevrolet Vega. Never in the history of crap automobiles has there been anything like the Vega. It was slow, handled like a pig, ugly, was slapped together using inferior materials. The worst engine ever produced resided under the hood. Chevrolet, in their engineering prowess back in the seventies, built what they considered a lightweight, aluminum overhead cam 'engine of the future'. Problem was it had a major design flaw -- there was a cooling port and oil return mere milimeters apart on the head/block assys. The gaskets between these ports ruptured with abandon causing overheating and loss of oil, which in turn caused thousands of engines to self destruct. After years of dodging the screams and lawyers of the buying public and multiple attempts to 'patch' the remaining engines still running, GM finally threw in the towell and agreed to replace them all with a twenty year old design push-rod engine. All to no avail as the bodies of the Vega were so prone to rust that they, literally, rusted on the showroom floor. In the weather they disolved like piles of dog **** in the rain. At the end of the production run it was nothing more than a rustbucket that finally had an engine that would make it across town without overheating. The Chevrolet Vega was the low point of American automobile manfacturing and to date I can't think of a single car built on this side of the iron curtain that was worse.

Answer 4

Personally, I would have to say any 'K' car made by Plymouth in the 80s. Mitsubishi powered Po'C. I am also a non-fan of the Chevrolet Chevette. That was the most uncomfortable car I have ever been inside of.
Oh, and has anyone heard of a "Le Car"?? I saw one once, it might have been a Peugeot or something else French, but it looked like a tin box with wheelbarrow wheels under it. Like an exaggerated 'little red wagon' with a roof and windows.

Answer 5

The Pinto replaced into an marvelous motor vehicle for an economic device offering. The Yugo is actual the worst ever made. numerous the vehicle replaced into made out of cardboard. Following the Yugo i might nominate the 'ninety 8-2000 Honda Accord V6. What a POS.

Answer 6

The worst IMO would probably have to be the Yugo or the Fiat 500. Also, just looking at Geo's Metro just makes me want to throw up. Here's an example of what I mean lol...

Check out the sweet side exhaust and the hood scoop, which basically looks like a bent PVC pipe glued on his hood. Are these people serious?

Answer 7

Oh, honey, Yugo was THE worst car ever made. But the ones still in production? Kia, without a doubt. I worked for Kia in dallas, and we had cars in for warranty repair work that still had the PAPER TAGS on them! Re-GD-diculous!!! There was a joke among the mechanics and parts staff that Kia stood for "killed in action". Need I say more?

Answer 8

Well the worst car the I have owned would probably be a 1991 mercury capri, but i'm sure there are worse cars out there

Answer 9

There were so many, its hard to pick just one. I'm going with worst mechanical, not ugly..... but most of them are both.

Anything made by Nash, Renault, Yugo, AMC (other than the AMX). There are a few more, but I seem to have been able to block them from my memory, like that ugly piece of crap that Sears sold in the 50's.

Answer 10

Jeep Wagoneer

Answer 11

Renault Dauphine? Hudson Hornet? Rambler Ambassador? Gremlin? Hilton? Cosmopolitan? International? Willys? Hummer? They would all take top honors for ugly........
But the worst car in my experience is Dodge Neon. Real P.O.S.
