Worst car?

  Top of Page

Whats the worst car you've ever driven?

Personally, Peugeot 206 manual. would have to be the most gutless piece of crap i've ever come across.

coming in a close second would be a Nissan Pulsar

followed by a 94 GL Lancer.

My Auto 2.2 Lib has more go than all of them.

how about you?

'05 Ford Focus...........gutless piece of crap.

closely followed by my work ute,2005 Hilux.Awesome ute without anything in it,but mine has approximately 800+kg of tools and materials making it a real sh!t to turn,stop,etc etc.

Still goes better than the Focus though

I used to own a Peugeot 206 GTi, hardly gutless. T'was a ball of fun.. pulled away from two rexes in the twisties thru McCarrs Creek Road. What a blast!


My gf now owns a 206 XT auto, kept up with a 200sx thru Stanwell Park smile

Gotta love torquey european engines.

Each to his own.
i found the manual a pain, The clutches in the seem to be on or off. and pulsed under my foot. also it wasnt a GTI, and i have no idea what the difference is.

i found it to have no torque. not in comparison to a boxer or 6cyl anyway.

Best car i've ever driven.

96 GT Supra, all i can say OMFG, when those things hook up they are nuts. i've driven V8's than didnt go as hard down low.

also arent those focus's 5cyl Volvo motors?

A Land Rover Series 2 with a Holden 186 engine transplant (old work truck). The tight-ass bosses wouldn't spend a cent on it. You had to pump the brakes three times anytime you needed stop in traffic, god help you if you needed to stop in a hurry. And the motor didn't suit 4x4 work at all. Got it stuck in the middle of a creek up to the bonnet, and for a few seconds I thought what else could go wrong, then I heard a bubbling noise and the cabin started filling with water. So I climbed through the window and sat on the roof waiting for help. Got it towed out by a scraper, opened the doors, the water gushed out, then tried to restart it for about half an hour on and off so as not to flatten the batteries and she fired. Ran real rough for days. That car was a POS.

The most dissapointing car has to be a H2 hummer. Yank Tank Crap.

Audi rs6 is the best car i have ever driven. scared the s**t out of me. so did the price $230,000.

twin-turbo V8 that pumps out 330kW of power and a mammoth 560Nm of torque, which the German manufacturer claims is enough to slingshot it from 0-100kmh in just 4.7 seconds and on to 200kmh in just 17.6 seconds.

You probably drove the 1.4 or 1.6l then, the 1.6l feels more torquey than my EJ25 in lower revs.

The g/b isn't great but at least it doesn't have Subaru's annoying driveline slack from the AWD system.

How do you compare a small 4 cyl enginew ith a 6cyl?

My EJ25 felt pretty gutless in comparison to a FD RX7 I drove recently big_smile

Best car I ever drove is a Honda Integra Type R (DC2R), 1000kilos and a screamer engine + twisties = ball of fun. Yes it has no torque but does it fly when it's in the 5,500-9,000rpm region. The cassis is so neutral and balanced, the steering is tingling with feedback and the gearbox has you changing gears for no reason - it's that good.

Worst car I ever drove is probably some 1980s Tarago, kinda fun cos it's RWD you can get it sideways but it's one big gutless wallowy pos. But then again it is a van..

Worts car's I ever drove were two Toyota Stouts (predecessor to the hilux) they were our spare cars when I was working for a big mining company in Port Hedland, hardest springs on earth without a load in the back & seats like buck boards, we all had a rule "never ever EVER use the clutch" so it was chuck the 4spd column shifter into first, hit the key till it jerked to a start then the mandatory valve bounce before slamming it into the next gear & use the handbrake, slam them into a wall or high kerb whilst in gear to stop them. They were quite old when I started working there & two years later were going as strong as the day I started................... we just couldn't kill them.mad

Re: Worst car?

got a few worst cars

In no real order

1) Parents '97 Hyundai Sonata (2ltr Auto)
* Brakes felt soft.
* Engine was gutless and sounded 'tinny' and rattled.
* Gear changes - when giving it boot, it put you through the windscreen and then snapped your neck.
* Felt like it was floating on air with a tonne of under steer and really light steering in general.

2) Every lancer I have been in (96 and 99, 00)
* No power, however have all been 1.5 ltrs
* Clutch reminded me of Digital Electronics - On, Off or don't care

3) Some old Toyota 'White van' (although the colour with age was more poo brown)
* Top speed ~ 115kph (Considering it spent most of its time in 90 - 100kph areas, it was a pig
(Perth people will understand this bit)
* Struggled to make it up the hill on Leach Hwy heading towards freo (stock rd intersection).. as in, 3rd gear when empty doing 55kph and slowing down
* I don't think brakes came with it.
* Had a tendency to stick full throttle even when not using the throttle
* Clutch pedal moved about a foot (really bad when jumping into a corolla which had a really short clutch pedal)

4) A Gemini...
Everything was wrong with this car.. we turned it into a bush basher.. it had no exhaust past the firewall (it kinda fell off one day going over a bump) and what was left of system had been partially ripped off from the block..

Last time I was in Sydney I managed to score a brand new manual Hyundai Getz as a hire car - biggest piece of crap ever. No feeling through the clutch or brakes, gutless as all hell. Went for a drive (battle) through the mountains - that was a joke. Sat most of the time with my right foot to the floor and barely cracked 60-70 up the steepish parts...

that and it smelt funny.

I have driven a lot of gutless cars however nothing is quite as gutless as the Toyota echo, At least you can have fun in a manual excel or even a manual 1.6 pulsar, Trying to get an echo to move is the equivalent of trying to eat diarrhea with a fork.

The lancer  i drove was stock as a rock. and sucked goat sack for a living.

Worst cars driven/been in, HSV/FPV, the most over rated go fast (not) fleet cars, ugly bulid quality, and senseless power

what year mate? they've come along way in the last 5 yrs.
the New HSV GTS is incredibly well made. and go as hard as hell.
also its kinda hard to compare a 200k car with a 60k car.

i know i compared a 6cyl to a small 4, but ey, i reckon my ej22 goes harder than a 3.8 V6, power figures are different but the ej winds up sooo much faster, good for traffic light GP's, and doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner.
