Worst 5 Cars You have ever driven

Postby irlmin » Sat Aug 12, 2006 8:04 pm

We have looked at the Cars You would buy if money was no object , Now Name the 5 most disappointing cars You have driven , these can be anything and can in fact be really exotic cars You found to be a disappointment as well as just rubbish Cars .

Mine are ,
1 Aston Martin DB5 ( even though mint it felt terrible )
2 Ferrari 308 GTS ( heavy clutch , not as quick as expected )
3 Any Beetle ( awful )
4 Opel GT a 70s Coupe which had a transverse spring and handled like a garden shed )
5 Suzuki SJ Jeep ( what were they thinking )

I could go on and on but thats it for the moment , if I think of any other 'Motoring Milestones ' I hated I will edit

Today I drove a Hyundai Sante Fé. I was terrified. It just keeps on rolling (Yes lads, I said the word roll), the brakes are non existent, and the engine's as flat as anything.

Other crappy cars I've driven? The new Nissan Primera. Anything family orientated made by Mercedes - they're like driving an old man's boat. 1991 Ford Fiesta, weighed as much as a sherpa tank, powered by steam. And a DeLorean - great car, but after 90mph the front end starts to lift off the ground.

my old 206........ well it was back at the dealer 20 times in 2 years (not including servicing) and it left me with a bad back

my old fiesta....... driving position was TERRIBLE and the seats where like rocks

dads 325 sport...... first time i drove it i was terrified..... thanks to a fault with the cruise control that had me searching for buttons whilst fast approaching a motorway roundabout

i know its not a car...... but a Kangoo....... OMG...... nuff said

hyundai getz........ literally..... getz you nowhere fast...... i had lorries overtaking me on the motorway....... it drank petrol, its uncomfortable too!

You know the more I think about this I realise there are some really AWFUL cars out there I think I should have titled the thread as your 100 worst Cars and even then I don't think I would have had enough space .
