Vauxhall vectra B dci non turbo diesel is the one car that really stands out to me. Had it for two days as a courtesy car, and while I was grateful I had something to drive around in, it was quite the experience.
It didn't have performance, just sort of slowly built up enough speed to not be stationary any more. The guy at vauxhall must have been off on the day when they mixed the paint for this particular vehicle as it was a shade of green that I can only describe as the colour of dog sick when they've eaten loads of grass. I think the company had a very clever strategy with that vectra in that you would get so frustrated with driving and looking at it for a few days you would appreciate your own car no matter how much of a nail it was, as nothing ever can possibly be worse than the most basic of Base models of vectra b
Apart from my next worst car ever perhaps..... The Mk5 vw golf fsi.
Now I'm not a fan of vw in the first place, but for a company to mass produce something as bland and miserable as the golf fsi everything I've ever thought about them is basically correct. We have a small fleet of pov spec vw cars as company vehicles, but this fsi is the worst.
For a start there's the looks. It's grey, like literally everything. Paint, seat's, dashboard, carpet, wheels.... Everything. Driving it feels like you're living in the beginning of the wizard of Oz when it's all black and white and with dreary music playing, and driving it is my next least favourite thing. It's so numb you can't really tell if you're in control or not, steering where you can't feel anything, zero engine noise, zero roadnoise, nothing to do apart from talk to the mongaloid you usually have in the car with you if you are unfortunate enough to have to use it to go anywhere. All four wheels are so badly kerbed that I can only assume that people driving it have been so bored that they crash into things just as an excuse to get out of the grey misery for a couple of minutes.
Volkswagen, where happiness is an optional extra
