Citroen 2CV
I don't think i've had any bad cars. I'm very very careful in what I buy.
My Trophy was a bit of a shock, truly felt like I had gone back in time.
An ex did have a mk2? Micra, bubble shape. To be fair even that wasn't that bad. Did what it was built for.
An ex almost bought a newer Tigra, now that was a truly awful car!

As a joke, for a bet, or were you drunk?
+1 what a s**t unreliable piece of crap, the nurburgring edition was slightly better.

This : Sorry if anyone has owned/ owns it now... but it was a pile of rusty, unreliable, dangerous rubbish! Bought in a rush and thought it would be "fun" to drive - the only good thing was the steering - very nicely weighted and direct... shame the brakes felt like the pads were made of icecream!
My old man had for a week when they were new, clutch release bearing went with under 200 miles on the clock.

I was 18 and had a bird that lived about 10 miles away. I got offered the 2CV very cheap and it was my ticket to getting my end away.
Ah, c*ck overriding common sense, we've all been there.
Fiesta ST-2 Finsport
Lotus Elise S1.
to be fair it was always going to be rubbish as a daily doing 70miles per day on track suspension.
leaked like it had no roof, freezing in winter, unbearably hot in the summer, k-series head gaskets woes, un forgiving suspension for British roads (my fault) blah blah.
on the track-brilliant!

Seriously? It must have been badly broken!
Okay the brakes are shockingly dangerous but the steering handling and gearbox are a cracking combo. This one (works pool car) has eibachs and a wider rear axle. Stupid amounts of fun....
Brakes are new which help
I wouldn't want to own it daily right enough.
It was a bit broken. usual rust on the petrol cap, lower door edges and chasis - My own fault for buying it though as I didn't get it inspected like every other car I buy. Drove it through a very small full road width puddle a few days after getting it - which ruined it for a few weeks!
It was terrifying on the motorway - we took it to Belgium/ Amsterdam on a family holiday (just us two in it) we arrived feeling absolutely exhausted cos of the ride and constant stress when hitting a motorway bump and finding it would bounce off all over the road.
Im sure a well looked after one is great fun for a weekend car or something like that - Just the thought of putting kids in the back (I'm a teacher who drives to sporting events regularly) was scary!

Whichever has fuel
Mk1 Corsa. Good god those cars have zero redeeming features. If anyone can name 3 good things, i'll award you 10 man points.
I had a 1.0 12v as a runner for work and it was so so s**t. Uncomfy, heavy steering, s**t driving position, dreadful chairs, an absolutely ridiculous steering wheel, crap handbrake... My god I hated it.
I then never learnt from that mistake and bought a 1.6 GSI and apart from being a bit faster than the aforementioned turd, it was just as s**t.
Hateful hateful cars.

1.25 zetec mk5 Fiesta. Bought for £400. Brought the price down from £700 only for it to burst into flame driving down a motorway 3weeks later.
Volvo S60 T5
Renault Espace 2.2 dci, what a pile of s**t that was!!
running fauls, expensive parts the list goes on , worst car ever imo

To be fair I researched the Mini quite abit, as more or less all the history was on MT. It just broke, constantly. Luckily it was all under warranty, and apart from the hassle (17 trips to BMW in 6 months) it didn't cost me anything.
You win, those are the two sh*ttest cars ever made.

mk8Fiesta ST,172 cup
P reg polo 1.4 5dr. More rust than metal, stalled when u dipped the clutch and also liked to not start when it felt like it, usually in front of neighbours, busy car parks, petrol stations, work car park. Bought for 900 sold for 450 was a time I'd like to forget
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Corsa C 1.8 SRi
Was big on my Corsa's back then and the 1.8 SRi was the holy grail. 123bhp of disappointment.
Worse electric steering than a EP3, I kid you not.

You had the same as us then. This was easily the worst car my family has ever owned, always having to go to the dealer to get sorted. Was really disappointed with the build quality and finish considering it was a BMW. Never could fathom out those window switches!
My worst car, first 182, needed lots of work before I knew how Clio's worked

My first thought. Buying an R56 out of warranty should be deemed clinically insane.
Lasted about a week. Loved my ATR but just couldn't get on with this.
Could not agree with you more sir! I had one for 1 month before selling it and had a dc2 Type R before hand. I then got a black type RX dc2 to replace that sh1tty breadvan! Aviod!
