Which is the worst car that you´ve driven?
I don´t know if there´s another post like this, but I think that this might be funny...
Well, the worst was actually my last car (mercury sable 1998). It had a broken engine mount. Every time that I pressed gas I felt the machine rocking. It had fluid leaks on the engine and the power steering... I think that it is RIP on any junkyard.

Worst car was a new 1976 Ford Cobra 302. Terrible gas mileage compared to power, Could hear gas sloshing around in tank, striping bubbled, rear hatch wouldn't seat properly, poor handling. All around a piece of s---t which I sold in 6 months. First and last Ford product. Have always driven GM products before and after.

I used to own a 77 Maverick...
But I would have to say, I would take that over the '08 Toyota Prius any day!!! what a terrible car.... it beeps INSIDE the car (loudly and for as long as you are reversing) when you put it in reverse.... WTF???

'72 Vega GT wagon...rust, oil consumption, engine issues, overheating traded in at 55K miles
'78 VW Rabbit Deisel.. Injectors, CV joints, electrical fuse box short traded in at 66K miles
'83 Pontiac 6000 SE.. leaks..transmission, power steering, oil leaks, steering rack traded in at 66K miles.
Hard to say which one was the worst

My 05 GTO, and why because I owned it for a year, and it spent over 7 months in the dealership with blown rears, failing ABS/traction control, leaking windows, and the list goes on. I loved it for the couple thousand miles I got to put on it.

1st gen Kia Sportage. It was my sisters old car...a monumental hunk of crappola. Wouldn't pick up speed if you dropped it off of a cliff. Felt like the wrong end of a teeter-totter.
Absolute worst vehicle I've driven period: 1995 E250 work van that we had at my last job. Headache within 5 min from fumes, mysterious rattles, violent shaking, odd loss of power assisted engine stuffs (brakes and steering). I got horrendous milage due to the fact that you had to keep it floored to keep it from cutting out. Was all gas or all brake, very little leeway in-between. Glad when they put that one out of it's misery.

One of these little babies, the 1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo, yeah let that roll off your tongue...TURBO...oh yeah! 70hp and 70ft lbs of torque coupled to the most rubbery shifter this side of a blow up "companion", a car that Car & Driver called the "Ultimate Street Brawler" in April of '87, what were they smoking?
