Using my boys login at the mo while mine is getting sorted out. Toyota Avalon, had one as a hire car in the states the other year. What a piece of crap, drank fuel like you would not believe, handled like a barge that was flooding (ideal for the yank market) full of plastic and was just awful

My mates Toyota Yaris
I've driven a yaris and it's a bit like driving a van lol


I've driven loads of vans and feel it would be truely unfair to the van by saying that comment, the Yaris is the WORST piece of junk i have ever had the misfortune of driving. T'was the 1.0 VVTI and it would NOT go round corners, theres quite a tight corner by us that i struggled to get faster than 35 where as in a nissan delivery i could get 55 (that was quite poor, but you could throw it round a bit). I also drove a fiat scudo 55 plate that was pretty gutless.


Suzuki Vitara ... Going over the top of the Malvern Hills

I could feel it wanting to topple over :thumbsup:


My mum has one of those suzuki 'barbie' cars, the SJ convertable. She loves it but the steering is feather light (ideal for her) and there is no power in the 1.6 petrol engine, the car is quite basic with a roof that is horrible to put back up.


Oh, and i've owned 19 cars and driven many more from petrol/diesel, small/big and old/new.

Basicly and vauxhall. the astras brake your back as the seats are so bad, and has got such bad turbo lag.

And the insignias are so lumbersome and clostrophobic

It's a toss up between a Daewoo Lanos, and a 1998 (American) Ford Fusion auto.

a smart roadster because of the awful gearbox!

I’d forgotten about the normal smart I’d had the misfortune to drive, you could read a book between gear changes, it was that slow.

My mums peugot 206 2ltr HDi, she had the gearbox replaced three quaters of the way throuh the year and it's so sloppy and so much play in the gearbox. It's not only her car though as I have driven different 206s and the 'boxes are all the same

Worst was probably a Fiat Cinquecento sporting; slow, with epic body roll. Although strangely it was actually quite good fun!

The best car I have driven was a 911 Turbo (997). That was good.

Just got a brand new pool car from work.
I am the first to bring it home (tonight, its on the drive outside) Its a 60 plate Volvo S80 (only had 31miles on it when I collected it, its almost got 100 on it now)

Its not the worse car ive ever driven, by far. But theres something about it....
The interiors just a bit... Swed. Its clunky and to purposeful. There is extream smartness to it but no flare or character.
The exterior is a different kettle of fish though! I rather like it. And the engine pulls like a train!

i disagree with the KA comments ive drive 4-10 of them at work and yes some understeer abit but is all depends on the tyres, i test drove one to warm it up for MOT when we had it on the lift the tyres were on 2.5 mm and were nexens so the customer wanted new ones fitted so they were replaced with as set of new nexens (owner was skint and the tyres were £23 each fitted, i had to deliver the car back to the owners house and the diffrence was very noticable.

worst car ive driven, city rover

Glad somebody has picked up on that. People put crap tyres on any car it won't handle. Stick some decent tyres on one and try it
Worse car - Aston DB7
Worst car because it was past its best - Morris minor, with no clutch, brakes, and no way to switch it off :)
