Well, whilst my 306 seems to always be broken/doing bits and bobs to it, I need a car to work/college/ get places etc.
So I have the honour of driving a Fiat Punto. Its a 57 plate, so fairly new and it is by far the most hateful piece of junk that has ever been conjured up!! It is slow, only starts to move at about 5,000 revs, has dodgy electrics, always tells me the boot is open, dull and its economy figures are pathetic. Think this sums up, if i put on instant consumption, the figure drops down to 7mpg!!!
It just baffles me how a car this bad is in existence!!! Whats wrong with these manufacturers?!?!?!?!?

Worst is a tough one. Most disappointing would be the 406 coupe 2.2 hdi.

At the bottom of the pile, its either a diesel 306 or a diesel fiat punto grande I rented in Spain. Would have been faster if i'd got out and pushed....

vw polio without a doubt. For some reason it just felt very unconnected to the road, and with the massively over-assisted steering giving no feedback as to what the front wheels were doing it was just frankly scary to drive. it was my mums car, I drove it for a few days a year and half ago when the garage. Needless to say it still got the hiding of its life...
see this is the thing, the car has been designed for people who don't much care about driving, they just want to get from a to b. But if they make it feel so unstable in the corners it just makes people drive so slowly, and then give ne earache when they get in my passenger seat..... They just dont make cars like they used to...

Citereon c1!!!!! Seats are tiny there's no room. Pedals are tiny and way too close together. Gear knob is way to close to you. Steering wheel was way too small.
Was quite funny though the girl who drive it day to day was twice the size of me :/

I've driven shitloads of cars, but the worst is a difficult one for me. For example, I drove a Lada Riva that my grandad had quite a few times. It had wooden brakes, the steering felt like it was connected with rope, zero power despite making a huge amount of noise whenever you put your foot down, two hands and double-declutch needed to change gear, rock hard suspension, tyre squeal at 15mph. Thing is, it always made me laugh and put a smile on my face whenever I drove it, it was so utterly crap that it was fun...
On that basis I'd have to say a 1 litre Toyota Yaris. Nothing particularly good or bad about it, just soooo boring it should be illegal

I had a 3-door one of them. Slow as f*ck and basic but unbreakable, and still the cheapest car I've ever had in terms of running costs, 60mpg+ on pure SVO!

I drove a daewoo matiz from Newcastle to London with only 2 HT leads - that was a horrible car to drive.
I used to collect ex motability cars from dealerships and take them to auction and some of them actually made me heave because of the soiling of the seats, steering wheels and controls.
Some of them I had to put newspapers on the seats and cover them with bin liners and then use a whole pack of anti-septic wipes cleaning everything I would touch even though I was wearing latex gloves - not taking any chances lol.
