I drove the Canadian spinoff, the Pontiac Firefly. 55HP of non turbocharged doom. 3 angry squirrels tamed by a 5 speed manual transmission.

I got like 500km per tank on the highway. I took that shit mudding for an interview at a gas plant, took it to Victoria from Calgary in face raping cold -35C. I could not kill that sheet metal death trap.

P.S. I had a bitchin' sound system straight out the pawn shop, and 13" dubs

I couldn't see shit and couldn't find a way to sit comfy.

Hyundai Elantra when they first sold in the states. Handled like a kite in a hurricane when you hit 65 mph. I've taken shits with more power than that death trap had. Also, Hyundai Veloster rental. Refused to start after filling it with gas. Left it at the gas station and caught a cab back to the airport to catch my flight.

worst thing i ever drove was also my very first busines venture, i rented an ice cream van off of the robbing bastards in pic related.
they charged a fortune for rental, i could only buy stock from their warehouse and my profit margine was around 1p per item sold until i started selling £10 ice cream cones

now a £10 cone was kinda special, it was my way of selling cannabis resin, i'd drop an 1/8th of an ounce into the cone before topping it with ice cream.
profits went up pretty quickly after that, so much so the Italian family paid me a house visit to ensure i wasn't stocking up on ciggies and sweeties at another warehouse, i don't think they ever figured out how i was making so much money.

the van itself was around 20 years old and falling apart, stunk of diesel fumes and exhaust fumes, wobbled at it drove and seesawed like fuck if you touched the brakes, wallowed around corners and had a top speed of just over 35mph.
the only vehicle i have ever actively disliked driving.

'92 Civic hatch

It was one of my grandpa's cars. I don't know if something was wrong with it, but the slushbox made it horrid to drive.

Coincidentally, I now drive a different Honda that used to be his- an '89 Accord that my mother forced him to stop driving after his interstate commute got it up to 400K miles. Thankfully it has a five-speed, and it's a dream to drive compared to that shitty Civic.

Not really a car, but i work for pic related, and it drives like dog shit.

The 6.8 Triton V10 is vastly underpowered for the application. Can hardly get up a 10% grade at 60MPH unloaded in low gear. The older GMC models with the 8.1 had so much more ass.

Adjectives that nobody ever thought of while driving a Yaris.

I'm tied between a 90s Mitsubishi Mirage or a 90s Toyota Corrola.

Both were anemic and the handling was on par with a shopping cart with four bad wheels.

I fucking hate U-Haul. Once upon a time they seemed to have decent trucks but now it seems like anytime I rent one I get a barely functioning shit barge that can't get up to freeway speed unless you're going down a mountain and they appear to pay rabid monkeys with syphilis to handle their maintenance. Penske at least has nice trucks if you ignore their dipshit governor that likes to disable the fucking engine if you dare to let it go past the limit, even going downhill.

>>16025521

Saw this post and assumed it was behind the license plate, holy fuck, I would have never found it.

Recent worst for me was a non-turbo Veloster. That shit is too slow to even get out of it's own way. A Versa feels like a sports car next to it. Not to mention all the shit plastic everywhere and horrible interior. Same with the Fiestas of a few years ago. Literally rattletraps.

>>16025729
What the fuck are you talking about?

It's perfectly comfy, has enough room for all your shit, gets from 0-100 in about 9 seconds. Fast enough for almost any daily-drive situation and still miles faster than a majority of cars made before the 90s.
It's a good, serviceable car, if you think it's the worst car you've ever driven, you haven't driven many cars.

Yeah I kinda figured as much, given how much nicer my manual Accord is despite being a few years older.

With the auto being slow to shift and sapping a bit too much of what little power that poor civic had, the damn thing couldn't get out of its own way.

My first car was a 5-speed Hyundai Accent (2003)- it was a great car, but one of the dealer techs told me the autos in those were horrible too.

One of these fucks, it was the first car I ever drove.

The steering wheel felt so disconnected from the front wheels one would assume they were linked via the internet. The interior was sub-par and felt cramped and flimsy, not to mention it was rattly as well. Seats weren't particularly comfortable or supportive either.

Driving experience was ehh, handling was floaty and it was noisy at speed. Least it was manual, being stuck with a three speed automagic would be absolute hell.

Pigfat
Numb steering
Bad reputation (almost exclusively why I'm listing it). It literally gets nothing but hate on the interwebs.

Its only redeeming qualities are nothing ever goes wrong and the gearbox makes you feel like a man because muh up and to the right. Also can drift pretty easily.

Don't regret getting it though, just regret purchasing a fucking meme.

Huh, I had an astra for a while and thought it was an alright car, except for all the pedals being under my right foot, simultaneously

You can tell I haven't driven a lot of cars for this one to be the worst. Nothing really wrong with it, but just felt heavy and sloppy compared to my '99 Outback. A lot less interior space, wimpy plant compared to the EJ25D, the slushbox didn't help. Not a bad car by any means, but just kind of a worse Outback.

This thing. Slow, gutless, turning radius of a fucking baseball stadium, weird-ass steering wheel, plastic rattle box, and every time it rains these fuckers flood because the drain holes aren't big enough. You shouldn't need a bilge pump for your car.

Understeer forever, drove like the front tyres were made of that fictional stuff your physics teacher kept talking about, totally frictionless in a vacuum.

Ive worked at dealerships over the past few years so I feel like I'm cheating posting in here

So ignoring anything I drove on the job, a friends Eagle Talon. Oh what a shitbox it was by the time it found itself in his hands
