    Sparked from other thread, state your least favourite car that you've driven or not driven. Both if different. Doesn't have to be a bad car, just your least favourite.


    For me - Driven - Possibly a Golf Mk4 TDi. Not bad, but the most over rated car I've ever come across.
    Not Driven - Micra. Not a bad car, but ugly and the cause of all tail backs in Ireland!

    in the late 70's early 80's my dad had an escort. i think fumes must have been getting in some where as everytime we go on a long journey we would all get sick in the back. my neighbour had an escort too and it had the same problem

    The K10 was much better. ;)

    My least favorite car would have to be the 2nd gen. Fiat Punto (1999-2004). They have to be the most bland car to drive.

    1987 Opel Kadett 1.2 most evil handling, underpowered b@stard of a car I've ever owned, I hated that yoke, although my current 1973 (every time I drive it something breaks) Merc is now giving it a run for its money

    Santa Fe -Haven't driven- I'm sure it's a perfectly good vehicle but if the most obnoxious and inconsiderate people you meet all happen to wear green t-shirts, you eventually come to dislike green t-shirts if ya know what I mean.

    Any of the eurotrash, had a VW passat for a week, no end of electrical niggles. Replaced with a Ford Mondeo, sat nav and seat adjustment broke, roof handles broke off later.

    Got an older Audi A6 TDi after that as a replacement car for the Passat and the Mondeo. Turbo fails and the central locking goes wonky.

    Any time I rent a car again, I'll go Japanese, maybe an Accord or something.

    Mid-'90s Toyota Corolla 1.4. Described by its owner as "the best car you could possibly buy" because it started every morning for however many years.

    I don't doubt its reliability, and with 100k miles on the clock, the engine sounded like it had come straight out of the factory, but grannies in Nissan Micras were overtaking me going up a long hill. There was no discernable acceleration in the thing, even if I dropped to 4th.

    Still though, if your interest in cars goes as far as getting from A to B as cheaply as possible, doing so with the minimum of hassle, and not caring that you're driving the most generic, common car out there, there are few competitors.

    The original Corsa (1.0 I think), the first car I ever rented at 18. As a former lady friend of mine said about woman I once worked with..."Absolutely no redeeming features".

    More recently, a Hyundai Tucson as a loaner from the $tealership. Made of milk cartons as far as I could tell. It had an MP3 line-in though, which was a +1 on the corsa.
