    my worst was my 2nd ever car, an RB gemini, what a pile of junk it was but to its credit never had any major issues, outside of fuel (which i dont think ever had more than $10 in it at a time) i think i only ever paid $69 for a midas service. It smoked like a steam train, the interior was made of shade cloth and coat hangers, pulled super hard to the left when on the brakes, made a horrible droning noise over 40km/h that would temporarily go away if you jerked the steering wheel like weaving cones, suspension consisted of marshmallow and broomsticks, i locked myself out of and proceeded to break into it close to 500 000 times and ran out of fuel close to a million time. had it for 3 years then sold it to a mate for $500 and it broke down after a week..



    the car that should have been my worst but was one of my favourites, 1983 suzuki super carry, changed its own oil on the driveway once a week, sounded like a motorbike without an exhaust, started to smell of burning oil over 85km/h, but i could also sleep in it anywhere, it had $2000 worth of coilovers installed by previous owner, ssr reverse mesh wheels and adorning fans everywhere it went. same story, sold it to a friend of a friend and they killed it

    Driving the coal. Low and rattly.

    had a 82 gemini, it died after 2 hours of owning it Blew a headgasket.
    Had a 76 gemini coupe, loved it, but spent more on it then it was worth
    All my golfs i like, but they seem to spend more time in shed due to stupid problem, and i mean stupid like a bung lifter, or fuse box cracks it, or something small and stupid, but takes hours to fit

And the fact she scraped the front everywhere she went. She just doesn't know how to drive a low car with low profile tires
    I was absolutely set on getting an 850R before I bought my Bora, but I couldn't find an 850R wagon with reasonable mileage and the 850 sedan is just awful looking. In the end a relative gave me a chunk of cash and I was able to move up to a slightly higher bracket and get a Bora 4motion.

    Worst car I've ever been in, would be a tie between both a 95 1.5L Festiva (Auto) and a 05 1.6 Kia Rio (Auto).
    Both absolutly gutless, senile, cheap, Korean tin cans!

    I really liked the 850R because it was red and fast... And she owned it when I was 2-4 years old, so that's all that really mattered to me with cars at that age haha
