Worst car you've driven

Since we have a "best" thread, now tell us what's your worst.

Mine would have to be a Chevy Corsica. No offense to anyone who has one....the ones I drove were all rental cars, so that explains a lot right there.

I went thru 3 Corsicas in a month with this one rental company several years ago...the first red Corsica I brought home busted a hose the night I brought it home and leaked all over the garage and stained the floor. I took it back the next morning and the rental people just ripped the plate off it and put it on another red one. 2 weeks later the brakes went out. Once again they ripped the plate off and put it on a 3rd red car...the body creaked and rattled. I was underage at the time so this was the only place I could rent from.

Worst car to drive would have to be my Grandmother's auto 1500cc Corolla...that thing was gutless as.

Worst car overall would be my current Prelude:
I have had to spend in the last year:

$300 new tyres
$75 Headlight lens refocused (wtf?)
$75 Steering Rack boot replaced.
$600 Rust removal
$xxx new brake pads all round.
$1000 - $1500 blown head gasket.

I have also had 2 people hit my car while they were parking and driven off for a combined total of $700.

Funny thing is I still like it. Wierd.

id have to say an old, beaverwacked(wood trim), slow, sloppy, boring, unluxurious GM station wagon, with a ferocious 3.2 liter inline 6, it still was still lacking in acheiveing any speed, although i guess station wagons are ment to be that way.

A Daewoo Lanos that I rented when I was in Las Vegas. Gutless wonder. The horn worked only some of the time and I needed to use that horn alot because the brakes were shot and people were cutting me off all of the time. I turned the car in with an empty tank and told the rental company what a P.O.S. it was and they didn't charge me a dime.

A Gero Metro that my sister was thinking about getting, it was awful. First gear went til about 2.5 mph and didn't enjoy accellerating or braking at all. i'm sooooo glad she didn't get it.

What year was yours? I heard the '95s had alo of electrical problems. My '97 has been good to me except when it goes to the shop for services I or my fiance can't do. They always screw up something else that we end up fixing.

The worst car I drove that I owned was a 82 Nissan Sentra. That damn car had almost 100 hp and a top speed of 70mph (downhill). I swore I’d never buy a gutless car again and so far I haven’t. The worst car I’ve ever driven was a 87 Camero. What a rattling rusted deathtrap that thing felt like. It felt like it was going to disintegrate going over every little bump.
