The worst car

[Mazderati]

Gullwing doors are automatic exclusion from the worst car list.

Your user name just reminded me of this 80's POS from Maserati.

Worse was the Chrysler TC "by Maserati."

I know this might be sacrilege, but the 3rd Gen Tacoma I owned for a little while was a huge pile of shit. Gutless, uncomfortable, couldn't haul anything, no tow capacity, not great in the snow, small interior but big on the outside...

Growing up we had a dodge caravan my parents named "old smokey". It burnt oil like a mofo, especially on hills, lol. Finally died in a bank drive-through line with a huge amount of smoke, think the motor finally went.

And despite the huge premium that everyone is willing to pay for them, Astro vans were garbage too. Travelled quite a bit in one as a sales rep. Bad gas mileage, no power, really awful amount of leg room. I cringe to think what would happen to your tib/fib in a diagonal head-on collision in one of those death traps.

There's just something special about Italian design done even more half-assed.

Double points for when its a collaboration with an American car company.


Searching for something else today I came across this confused pile of useless shit. I bet they sold thousands though just off the headlights alone.

The Compass was based on the Dodge Caliber, which was based on the Neon. So it has a long family history of shittiness.

I’ve had so many cars it becomes somewhat of a blur. I’d have to say the 74 Vega wagon may have been the shittiest build quality of anything I’d ever owned. 4 cyl 3 speed Manual what a colossal shit box. Parts would just fall off randomly.

All years and styles of the Vega are contenders for worst car ever.

I'm guessing it won't do 185?

[berko]

I learned to drive a manual on a ‘80 Chevrolet citation. That was the worst car ive ever driven.

[Bobcat Sig]

And what in the cinnamon toast fuck was Cadillac thinking with this thing?

Cinnamon Toast fuck?! That slayed me. Well done.

For real though, what was there tag line in the ads? The Caddy that zigs? Or some shit like that?

Meant to be a competitor the smaller German performance sedans... lulz

The same thing they were thinking here?

Ha! My grandmother had a white one over some gross-ass burgundy interior. Junk.

^^^ all the set up for the photo.... and it still winks at you.

That's some quality construction right there

Oh, they did, which is sad. Further, they made the same car, only syled differently in the Patrior. Legend goes that the Compass tested well with females and the Patriot with males, so Jeep made both.

I'm not up on my Tacoma generations. Which years was the third gen?

I had a 2008 that I found quite competent.

We've got 2 rental 'limited' 2020 tacoma crewcabs, and I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment.
The new 2020 3/4ton chevy crewcab with the new 6.6L steel bigblock just assigned to me on the other hand.... hot diggity! If it proves out over the year, I will be sorely tempted to trade in my '15 1/2ton for a one year old 6.6L in 2021 or '22

[Harvey44]

Thing spent so much time in the shop the cylinders holding up the hood had to be replaced.

ROFLMAO

True, but the tacoma will still be running like a top in 20 years with 200000 miles on it. Just like the 3rd gen one...

My daily driver is a 2003 taco with the 3.4L and manual transmission., approaching 300k on the odom. I prefer to drive it over the new ones. As AFKLS says, the new ones are cramped and feel underwhelming both on and off the highway. They are too new to report on their durability (and as rentals, they won't be here after December).

I fell out of love with mine and agree with most of that (it did great in snow with good tires though, it was the mixed conditions it really sucked at) but not sure it qualifies as worst.

Surely you can come up with an example or two from your homeland?

Maybe something made in the Midlands?

[Timberridge]

I've been waiting for Wooley to chime in and mention something from the brass era.

I don't know much about Australian cars, I'd be interested in hearing about them.

[PNWbrit]

Yes. Pretty much all of them.

I thought when Wooley wasn't traveling by canal packet he preferred the convenience of a mule-powered wagon.

No clue which was the worst back then though.

This police blotter headline caught my eye today:

Woman Bats Cleanup on Acquaintance's Car

Disturbance: Emery Road

A caller reported around 10 a.m. on Sept. 14 that a man and woman were arguing from their cars when she got out and started beating his car -- possibly a Chrysler 300 -- with a baseball bat. She then got back into her car and the two drove off separately and in the same direction, heading west on Miles Road from Lander.

Neighboring departments were notified and the cars were pulled over by North Randall police about 10 minutes later at Northfield Road. An officer spoke with both parties -- the man had a protection order in effect against him, but not necessarily involving this woman -- and neither wanted to press charges, so they were released.

The Chrysler hate is real.

[liv2ski]

^^^^ Never argue with crazy. Just fuck and run.

"Later when police questioned the couple, they were told she was just banging on the starter to get the car to turn over after it stalled at an intersection on Emery Rd."
