I drove a 1.4 tdi skoda fabia 09 plate last week, and it was horrible and gutless, and frightening in even a tiny gust of wind! The fuel economy was crap for what's meant to be a super low emissions car once you're at motorway speed, both my diesel mondeo 2 litre and 1.9tdi ibiza return far better economy figures

Whats the point in that? A courtesy car that you can use how you want. Not much of a courtesy is it...

But I couldn't use it how I wanted, as the garage wouldn't allow me set fire to it, push it off a cliff or even into a lake for that matter!

Besides, I think the use of the phrase "courtesy car" in relation to a 1.0 Kia Picanto really is a matter for trading standards!! Giving me that car was by far the least courteous thing anyone has ever done to me!!

we hired one in cyprus a fe years back...Drove to the top of the trudos mountains in it, famlly of four, lots of holiday gear. 1.0 litre engine, air con on fulll blast. 45 degress outside
Sheer 100ft drops, crosses remembering the dead every few meters.

Worst motoring experience ever

I do drive quite a few different cars for work...worse iv driven so far was a 98 golf...1400 16v apparently spost to be a good engine but in a heavy old golf it just didnt seem very good and body roll and just seemed to wander the road a bit...basicly, the car was shagged

Technically not the worst, but for sure the most boring.

T of another 2 a kia sedona, gutless, shoddy build quality and an indicator ‘tick’ that sounded like a small midget was hiding in the dash hitting the indicators with a hammer.

And the second, a new shape vw beetle, mainly because they don’t have a temperature gauge, just a warning light and it overheated.

driven 2, both handeled like awfully but in differnet ways, the older one, R reg, had catastrofic understeed, the second was just jelly in the corners (51 plate)

they both locked up under braking at the slightest whiff of moisture! and took forever to accelerate to any reasonable speed!
