86 Olds Firenza (not mine in the pic but looked almost as bad)



Was a complete piece of crap. Shifter was mush and clutch was awful. So bad my wife (girlfriend at the time) could not drive it.

I have driven many bad cars just in this year alone but if I had to choose one I would say a 1996 Chev Lumina APV, It smelled of piss, 4 wheels with shifted belts yes all 4 at once, windows all stuck closed, and full of sticky nasty crummy mess that 4 children have left after 5 months since last cleaning. this is a customers car i had in about 2 weeks ago for a driveability problem..... NO S**T

E39 BMW 523i for starters the car was extremely underpowered it was a 2.3 liter inline six in a 5 series. The schockabsorber were gone and wen you hit a bump you would be feeling it for the next 5 minutes which was the best part cause the travel this car had was unbelievable I know this car is not bad but the one i drove was just in horrible condition I still own a bmw e34 530i with a little 3 liter V8

Oh man, my college car was the worst. It was a 1974 Alfa Romeo Berlina.

"Features" included:

* 260,000 miles
* painted three different colors
* often needed to be push-started since the starter was AFU
* no A/C
* oil fumes in car
* exhaust fumes in car
* antifreeze fumes in car
* gearbox fumes in car
* burned wire smell in car
* junk gearbox
* singing rear diff
* crap tires
* junk suspension
* sh*t electrics
* was hit in @ss and had a tucked rear
* sawed through the radiator with the front core support
* once locked the steering column while I drove down the highway
* once threw the alternator charge wire on the road far from civilization
* once lost the Pittman arm while driving
* once spit the gearbox drain plug on the highway
* falling headliner
* collapsed exhaust heated the floor and melted my shoes
* once measured on-highway cabin noise at 102dBA
* no radio

Man what a neodymium babe magnet. Too bad the car and the babes had the same polarity (ReeeeeeJECTED!)

88 tyota camery. bought it for $300 had 350 000 km on it. Had to use self expanding foam to seal the holes in the trunk. heater only workedd if you hit the dash really hard all the time. horn did not work heater finally failer window wipers broke and then fan bleew then only one light would work tires were bald and 4th and 5th gear did not work. It was great. And I had that for 1 year. got rid of it only 3 years ago.

Tie between an 02 Pontiac Grand Am (epically bad on every level) and a 01 Chrysler Sebring convertible.

The only thing more staggeringly mind bending than how either of these cars made it to production is that people actually bought them.

93' Thunderbird or my old 85' Newyorker. The NewYorker had so many flaws, but it was soo awesome. Still awful though.

too bad there isn't a prize for this category ... how about a 1979 Ford Pinto. I used to drive it back and forth to Newark, NJ so I didn't have to worry about anybody stealing it.

I'm a pretty young guy, so I haven't gotten the opportunity to drive some really old beat up cars. I did, however, use to valet cars at a hotel, so I've seen some pretty nasty ones. If we're talking about newer cars, a Chrysler Sebring convertible takes the cake. Funkiest drive ever. Not to mention 90% of the trunks don't close if you use the soft top too often.

I also drove a 2001 Honda Accord coupe once. This wasn't your average Accord though. The steering wheel was missing a few buttons. Gas gauge didn't work. No A/C controls. Radio had a smashed screen. Worst body kit on the planet. Did I mention the doors didn't lock from the outside and the door handles also don't work? The guy who owned that car ironically came to the hotel with a car full of attractive girls. Who knows.

My step dad had a 78 Caddy, which was the first thing I ever drive. After my first drive, he gave me crap for not driving it well. Like anyone could just jump in a boat like this and be richard petty.

Not too bad for a worst, at least it looks good from the outside
