    Mine goes to the 1984 Renault Alliance. 1.4 liter engine pounding out a thundering 64 hp, combined with a 3 speed automatic transmission, led to breathtaking performance. 0-60? Yes, as long as there wasn't the slightest uphill incline. I drove it once for 20 miles on the highway to my parents house where it's slightly uphill the entire way. I buried the throttle the whole way and never reached the 75 mph speed limit. And to think this was the 1983 Motor Trend Car of the Year. Reliability was terrible as well. But at least it was a looker...

    Good lord that is hilarious! Mine would have to be my first car. A '75 Chevy Celebrity that my grandparents sold to me, complete with plastic bug shield on the hood and "PROUD GRANDPARENT" license plate. I was 17...0-60 in about 5.3 minutes. Glad to have a car? Yes. Want to be seen in it? Not a chance.

    1999 Buick Regal. Dual zone climate control was stuck and only blew cold air on the driver side. Fine in July, but when it's 10 outside in January, with an hour long 1 way commute, it sucked.

    My first car -1970's something Vega. Engine had to be re-built, lots of work done to it. Loved that car cuz it was my first one but glad to get rid of it too.:)

    I had the 97 version if it, total POS, had ingition issues, looked stuff up, they were known to start fires and burn, like your friends and the other person that posted the pic. I had a friend whos BF had a 98 in his garage and the ignition caught fire in the middle of the night and it took their home! They are evil cars! lol.
    I had a 98 Pontiac Grand Am that stayed in the shop and left me stranded more than it got me where I was going.
    I also had a Pontiac Grand Prix that stayed broke down alot.
    The top worst car I ever owned had to be the 1999 MERCURY COUGAR!!!! It was horrible. 3 alernators burned up within 6 months then the damn thing caught on fire and melted the wiring harness. Couldn't be fixed and the shops I took it to all told me the same thing. That model cougar was a pile of crap. :grumble:

    1995 saturn station wagon

    the blinkers didn't work and the windows didn't roll down. I bought it for $500 with my own money when I turned 18. it also took about 20 minutes to start and used to make the most horrendous CLUNK sound when I put it into reverse. I sold it for $800 a year and a half later. I win!

    The First Worst Car was my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero (mine was red) - the damn thing would shut off for no reason if it got too hot outside (nothing overly wrong with the car itself), the Check Engine light stayed on perpetually no matter how many times I took it to get "repaired" - didn't matter would come right back on - first sign should have been when that light came on 3-Days, YES 3-Days after we took it home - hated that damn thing until the day it died

    and now I am driving a 2000 Ford Focus and I could go on for AGES about that POS - both back windows won't stay up without something wedged into them to keep them up, it idles hard, and it's a bear to drive - sadly I am stuck with it for another 2 years - UGH!

    ETA - Some dipsh*t decided to steal this gem last summer - now he's serving 6-17 mos in prison for it LOL!!!

    Both are what happens when you need a car but are in no way prepared to buy one!

    everything!!! the sunroof has been replaced 3 times and still leaks, I just gave up and accept it. brake switch broke which means my car wouldn't start, power windows work when they want.

    Of course the dealer can't reproduce anything because it's random so they basically just said wait until it breaks down completely, it has one more year under warranty and then it's gone!

    1999 Ford Crown Victoria. A huge ship of a car, in "old person silver" (though it always looked beige to me). Got it for super cheap when my zia and zio couldn't keep driving. Hubcaps refused to stay on; I used to get accusations of "bad driving" being the cause, but any other car I've driven never had the problem, and I notice hubcaps missing from Crown Vics and Grand Marquis all the time...

    There's nothing like a completely unbalanced RWD car in Michigan winters. Even with sandbags in the trunk, the thing would get stuck on 1" of ice (and I mean, 1" in length, in an otherwise dry parking lot), or spin out on virtually nothing. When I finally saved up to put the best winter tires money can buy, which made a slight difference, the car pretty much blew the big one a month or two later despite routine maintenance. Ford isn't even going to make the cars anymore.

    Ugh. I guess it was good for doing the dirty in.

    ETA: My 2002 Subaru Legacy (L, so standard, boring, mule of a car) has had to have close to $4k in repairs over the three years I've had it (I, of course, bought a car with a nicely vague Carfax about what repairs were done in the past; Subarus pre-2004 are so much trouble), and currently is an embarrassment to look at after a hailstorm damaged everything a month after I put it on PLPD.

    I still think my Crown Vic was worse.

    My first car was a white 1980 Mustang. It was awful.

    I hadd this car ^^^ and it was also the worst I've ever owned. The oil rings stuck and the engine blew and left 20 year old me sitting with a dead car on a blind curve at midnight out in the middle of nowhere. Before the age of cell phones. Luckily a toothless old truck driver with a facial tic stopped and helped me.

    1988 Hyundai Excel. Actually it was a great car until I got it for my 16th birthday. I lived in the mountains of CO and drove that thing like a Peugeot rally car. It could do about 50 on washboard dirt roads and even made it up a couple of 4x4 trails. I ran it into a steel pole and had to replace the driver side door. The frame was bent so after a while the new door wouldn't open so I had to crawl through the passenger side. The window was shot out while I was driving down the highway one day. I did love it though. If I folded the back seats down, I could fit about 5 people in the hatchback. I have some awesome memories of that car.

    I am not sure which one's the worst. There are two I had in college, and I hated both a LOT. 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue (huge ugly red boat of a car with red plush interior...horrible) which actually ran very well until it began to have electrical issues and then I crashed it...or 1985 Mercury Marquis, which was pretty crap the entire time I had it (fortunately just around one year and then I was able to get a nicer car).

    1999 Volvo S80, it was a complete and utter lemon. Broke down on me two weeks after purchasing it. In the first two years I owned it, it was in the shop more than it was in my possession. I will never buy a foreign car again. Sticking to Chevy's and Fords!

    1982 VW Quantum (I drove it in 1994) my first car and if you turned it off you had to wait at least 20 minutes before you could start it up again. I think it only lasted about 5 months until it died and I took over my parents 87 Ford Taurus (manual transmission) which was one of my favorite cars.

    A 1987 Plymouth colt. It didn't even have an air conditioner in it. It was like driving an oven. But it was free so I couldn't really complain. :ohwell: I called it my pony.

    My dad owns a used car lot.

    When I was working for him, I drove a different car just about every week to "test" them out and take note of any work that needed to be done.

    All time worsts that I drove:

    90s model Taurus - Everyone I got into except maybe one or two had slips in the transmission.
    90s model Proteges - Every dang one had an overheating problem
    Malibus with the 3.0 - Motor blew at least once in every one. They all either had a rebuilt/new motor because the previous one blew or had one that was about to blow
    90s model Explorers - Nicknamed Exploders, cause that's what they did
    All Dodge cars - Dead Or Dying Garbage
    And I would never suggest a PT Loser, biggest piece of crap I have ever bought.

    Now my 97 Ford Mustang, I put that thing threw heck and back and it still held up. And my 95 Acura Integra, you couldn't kill it. Even after I rolled it a few times, the sucker still crank up and ran. It had to totaled after that of course but the B18 in that sucker was about indestructible.
