Worst and Best

worst 1.0 metro i had as my first car no anything (grunt,handling):eek:


best a mk 2 clio 1.8 16v handled like a go kart and looked the biz 2:devil: :devil:
scared a few more powerful cars in the twists did that:D :D
 
the worst car i think i've ever encountered is a 1999 Kia Pride:eek: i never drove it, but i remember sitting in the back, in the middle and feeling the handbrake cable under my feet everytime it was pulled up. it's the most cheapest and nastiest cars i've ever come across and i nearly died of shock when i found out it was a 1999 car!!! my dads old escort, with rust holes in the floor was a better car!! and that was an old X reg(early 80's). the one who owned it had to be cut out of it after a car hit her from behind pushing her into the car in front!!
 
No I'm not joking, maybe I did have the 995cc, but it's not the sort of question I ask when renting a car, nor do I bother to consider quality as long as it gets from A to B and back.

Some of us use seat belts to stop flying anywhere?

I didn't worry about tram-lining, there were none on the M1 that day, or lorries for that matter.;)

It was a rental FFS, not a test drive with a view to buy.

Oh and BTW, the VW Beetle factory was turned down by all British motor car manufacturers when it was up for grabs in 1946, they said the car would never sell.:rolleyes:


And just as you had a hire car.. not view to buy :rolleyes:

This is a best and worse car you 'personally' have driven.

And I can say, without a doubt that the Matiz was bloody awful and was my worse car :p

If you love it so much and wanna put it as your best..feel free ;)
 
Worst - A DAF 400 16Seater Minibus (Round A field)

Best - A Vauxhall Frontera 4x4 2000 3.2 V6 ;);)
 
None of you have obviously driven a Maruti Jeep, which is basically an Indian made Suzuki SJ jeep. We rented one and everytime you went round a corner it would virtually fall over. Anything over 50mph and it would start to self destruct.

It was easy to check the various fluid levels though, when it stopped leaking it had obviously run out.
 
Daewoo Matiz's are great fun:D , my friend at sixth form had one and i used to take great delight in showing just how slow it was by overtaking it while yawning:p , or just letting him catch up in 30 zones to leave him standing when the road opened up to a national limit, once i actually thought he'd stopped!! lol! luckily i never got a lift in it though. much too high for it's size for my liking.

chap next door but one has one of those. Cute lookin thing (the car, not him) wouldn't fancy one myself though, they're just tin cans, cheap and nasty.

However, i can't really comment, i drive a Fiat Bravo **runs for cover**
 
hey the bravo is one of the few italian success stories from its era, i know it wasnt quite as good as the rest of the class, but at least it didn't make fiat's reputation any worse, surely thats a success story.
 
Take it that from this topic no one likes Daewoo's/Chevrolets very much, I had the Chevrolet Kalos recently and it was naff to drive, it was like being back in our Suzuki of the mid 80's.
 
Worst: tempted to go for a land rover freelander diesel, but it has to go to the ford escort mk iv 1.3 I got as a courtesy car when my punto emptied the contents of its radiator. It was slower than walking, pulled to the left ALL the the time, the steering wheel wobbled when you broke and accelleration was accompanied by a smell of burning oil. Also when I left my house in the morning it left a trail of blue smoke in its wake. The biggest shock was that the car was on the dealers website for sale for 550 quid!.

Best: Also a Ford Escort but a rally spec mk2 with fully cage and a BDA engine, had so much fun getting that sideways and hand brake turning it!
