I can't imagine how scary that is at 100mph!
The only question I have is... why?
http://escort.accelerator.org
1968 MK1 Escort 1300GT
1969 'Big Wing' MK1 Escort
1972 MK3 Cortina 1600XL
1984 Sierra XR4i
And other junk I don't like to talk about!
Fiat Strada!!!! Worst piece of shit I've EVER driven by far!!!!
Dodge Ram Pick up........NOT what they're cracked up to be.....poor ride and crap build quality!
Not the worst car i have driven but the one that shocked me the most was believe it or not a RS200!!! OK its a group B rally car but on the road it was a joke. Crap brakes, worst clutch ever, wandered all over the place, so noisey, stunk link a damp Robin inside, and didnt actually feel that quick!!......Still have one though if i could afford:
Worst cars 4 me have to be 1997 Renault megane awefull car. and Citroen Saxo pedals r a joke! Or nissan Almeara was a 1.8 and went like a 1litre! lol
mitsubishi l300 van.. err the old one without power steering and has gas engine
- the one that i drove eats gas terribly that it terrifies me (a lot a worse than my mkii wasteful driving with twin dcoe40s)
- steering is shit and even more shit because of wide tires and small cheap steering wheel (it is more harder than an old minibus with no power-steering)
- door doesn't open on the other side
- idles like shit when the air conditioning is on
- gear knob has a random feel

I had a new mitsubishi colt as a courstey car a while back, had no temp gauge but a warning buzzernever found out the engine size but was so fucking slow i had to look at scenery to make sure i was moving. The go pedal also seemed to have a delay.....pulling out on a fast road was something to avoid. Someone agreed with me 'cause they kicked the mirror off just before i got rid of the festering turd of a car
Most seventies italian supercars are horrible to drive. 2 stand out more than any other and they were a Lamborghini Jalpa and a De Tomasco Pantera, which was bloody diabolical. Italians have long arms and very very short legs! Oh yes the other one that springs to mind although not italian, is an Alpine Renault A110, again so small inside , designed for a midget!.
Worst for me was a wee yugo I used to work at local car auction when I was about 15 driving cars through the auction when I had to drive it, the doors didn't open from inside and the window winders were broken off so I had to drive it through whilst trying to hold the door open slightly so I could get out the bugger after I parked it up, it sold for £5. Drove loads of crap cars while doing that job loads of old skodas ladas, fso's etc they were all just heaps of crap.
I'm going to pull your head off because i don't like your head!
Volvo S40 T4, fast as in a straight line but had no soul , no feedback to the driver and just an absolute pile of ham shank. Cant think of anything nice to say about it. Of course it was built on a...................... Mitsubishi Carisma chassis, nough said realy
rust , rust and more rust,.....wait, wheres the rust gone now ?
Morris Minor 1000................thought I was going to die when it hit 35mph going round a sweeping bend that was sign-posted for 60mph !
The 3 cylinder Polo we had as a hire car in Scotland one year, gutless, uncomfortable and plastic. Made the Micra we had the year before seem like a luxury saloon.
mmm....think mine mmight have to be an austin princess! although comfy, it just would not go around corners, drank petrol, and was ugly as sin!
Dacia Duster... nuff said.
Healey 3000 with cardboard-fibre brakes.
Reliant Regal estate
Noisy... vibrated... slow... smelly... the gearbox was clunky and hard to find a gear... and it handled like a tricycle... oh wait it was a tricycle!
I have recently been in a new mini and they are a terrible car considering the price and the fact they are ment to be a bmw!
Accidently?
YUGO everybody who said nova,polo,micra, and all those type of cars don't know how lucky they are
you should have try to drive the YUGO
Everything fwd.
push any car hard enough and you'll get understeer and run enough power through any car and your'll get torque steer though lol
its not dead till it's buried!
T.I.T engineering. "Feel the power!"
Discovery 3 tdv6 biggest piles of shite out there
Keep her lit
Lada riva takes some beating
I've had the joy of driving a nissan figaro... it was a customer's car and I had to drop it off. Awful festering pile of shite!
Ill second that, pileoshite,
I think the worst car I have driven was my mates car, 50s British ford, with a front strut and rack conversion, Bump steer from hell, negative castor and negative camber, would not drive in a straight line over 20mph and use the brakes, it was pure guesswork where the car was heading, what made it even more scary was it had a 350hp v8 kin scary ride for all the wrong reasons
daewoo Matiz, I had one for fours days as a courtesy car. The only 'courteous' thing for them to have done was scrap the pile crap and give me a bus ticket, it would have been better.
I once drove a Fiat Tipo. Car went faster in 4th than it did in 5th!
(Chrysler)Simca 1501. Having worked an apprenticeship from 1972 at Renault, I had the “experience” of a Talbot Chrysler dealership in the late seventies, and trawling thru decades of driving utter rubbish, I would put the Simca 1501 first: zero feedback from the suspension/steering, a gear lever that had so much play in the linkage that selecting any gear with accuracy was not possible, and cornered so badly one had to book an appointment to drive through one.
The Simca closely followed by a gaggle of other horrors to include, and not as an exhaustive list: Chrysler 180/2.0 litre (these also would burst into flames because of a common wiring fault), Peugeot 405, Jaguar E Type(all that oomf and no cornering ability, and shit brakes), Yugo Zastava(joke gear lever whose linkage would part company within weeks of new car sale). Nearly forgot - Morris Marina Coupe (wouldn’t go round corners: try to push one through a corner, and with any decent amount of G force you would flip the damn thing) (my next door neighbour, an ex-police driving instructor did just that, as well as others I heard of). These cars, all pitched against the Ford’s of the day were awful to drive. Ford were streets ahead for the average Joe.
Worst truck I drove: Bedford S Series circa 1960; our works recovery truck, what an embarrassment: tons of English cast iron, steel and glass pulled by a six cylinder petrol motor giving 110bhp, by the time you got to the customers stricken vehicle it had corroded to nothing in front of his very eyes lol, and noise in the cab was 100db at least. My buddy Glynn Rider and I used to howl with laughter driving it as it was such a shit heap. Funny as fuck.

Just remembered another one: Suzuki Vitara Wide Boy; try to go round a tight corner, roundabout, traffic island etc...instant broadside no matter what speed: utter, dangerous rubbish lol.
Are we there yet?
Maestro vandan plas. It was shocking. It was a guys company car and was so bad he let me use it over the weekend when I was a young lad.
All I remember is the lady in the computer telling the engine oil was critical or something 😂

God those eighties computers were annoying; I remember a Nissan model, possibly a 300C (or Cedric as it was named for the European market- ffs), saying “key is in the ignition, key is in the ignition” when parked, and engine off, so when you were servicing the damn thing it wouldn’t shaddup!
My everyday motor, a Defender 90.
