Worst car you have ever driven?

[CharlieJ]

The Nissan Micra's pretty rubbish, but the worst by far was a base model mkIV Ford Escort - it was like driving a skip full of rubbish powered by a rubber band!

Right, those are the ones I have the most experience of. Of course it's always possible the one you are driving is a dud.

I remember I went straight to driving a brand new (at the time) Astra and I had similar difficulties, for me it was mostly the brakes, they were very sudden compared to the car I was used to, nearly put myself through the window on a few occasions .

However it was just because compared to what I was used to it had good brakes! A little more finesse on the pedals soon came and it became good to drive.

i.e. It's not the car

I have to agree I learnt in an 06 Toyota Corolla and the brakes were unbelievably sharp, i was driving that on lessons and my 1996 Peugeot 306 between lessons and took a few minutes to adjust to each car.

More recently at the weekends i still drive the 306 with duff brakes and stiff clutch and have just started driving my company car, a 56 plate Ford Fiesta 1.5 CDTi and when i first drove that it felt horrible. Sharp brakes, soft clutch, even softer throttle with about an inch of delay before the power came on and a high seating position but now i'm used to it, its a really nice car to drive Grips the road like nothing i've ever whitnessed before other than a kart!!! amazing grip

Peugeot 205 -86, I can`t describe it.

Ssangyong Kyron - given me to drive by a client when I was at the dealership for an audit visit earlier this year. Words cannot describe the appalling nature of this vehicle, and the lack of grip for what was supposedly a 4WD was staggering. I could hear the tyres breaking grip just turning a normal corner. I am amazed that they have actually sold any of this vehicle (although even more amazed that the actually produce it...).

Prior to that it would have to have been the Ford Taurus I once drove in the US. Wallowing whale does not describe the antics of this vehicle in the handling department. There seemed to be no relationship between the steering wheel and where the car actually went.

hehe, i've driven most of the cars that have been mentioned here and i can honestly say that they are bad cars if you do not adjust to them.

all i can say about the worst cars i have ever driven have all come from one place (that place where they have tea all the time and they boil their meat).
