What's the worst car of all time?

Ferrari F40

Normalized for the time Pontiac 1000 could be one of the worst. Of course a model T or a Benz Motorwagen is way worse but was way better than other stuff at the time. So if being real the Benz Motorwagen can't even drive up a gentle hill and runs on kerosene so maybe that one.
If you took a modern car to back then it might not even run because of the fuel they used.

Why aren't there more plastic cars? It seems cheap and lightweight

>>28521836
Doubt it's the worst car ever, it got you from point to point and was extremely simple and minimalistic in design, with no useless or overcomplicated bloat whatsoever.
For what it's worth, it was a great car.

No way. These were actually good in the 50s. Post war even the west were giga poorfags. The problem was by the 80s they were still making the same car which sucked compared to anything else being built. That's where it gets it's bad rep from. In reality it was a good a to b car for anyone who could queue in line 40 years for one.

Any cars with FWD

properly tensioned spoked wheel is mindbogglingly strong when compressed directly in this direction

Crumple zone for pedestrians.

fiat, italian engine dodge hornet ford motor rust bucket chevy jeep crapp old foreign car are trash too

Saturn's used to be plastic and everybody shat on them. That's ironic now days when every car has a fuckload of black plastic covering the metal body panels.

S63 BMW. Holy fucking shit every single thing you could do wrong, they did it.

>The problem was by the 80s they were still making the same car
Wasn't the famous AvtoVAZ / Lada 2101 shitbox (based on the Fiat 124) also a decent small car design by 1960s standards?
Of course it took them almost 10 years to start producing them in any quantity, and it didn't get any less dated from there. I think some variant of that was built somewhere until the early 2000s.
At least it had a chance of reaching and sustaining highway speeds, unlike some other Soviet bloc piles of shit.

without a doubt the worst piece of shit from the last 25 years

Never had a worse car than a Dodge Aries (or Plymouth Reliant). Every single problem it could have had, it did. All while having literally no redeeming factors. One of the only vehicles I would support throwing in the crusher. As for more modern cars, I would throw the Chevy Trax and Ford Eco-Sport up there. I haven't owned either, but I've worked on plenty

Chevy Spark is the worst I've driven. Would constantly break down and had an issue regularly where it would lose power on the freeway and only go up to 35-45mph. PT Cruiser was a massive piece of shit too. Was forced to drive these as work vehicles, the company really didn't splurge on the pieces of crap they gave us.

Dodge caliber is pretty abysmal for a normal car that doesn't have crazy rarted design choices like the reliant robin

>>28521836
I feel like this qualifies for the reason that, when the Berlin wall fell, all the East Berliners left their Trabis and walked to VW dealers. That bad.

>>28521890
it literally had no fuel gauge

>>28521764 (OP)
one could theoretically name any british leyland car and i think it'd fit the title of 'the worst'
i just find the allegro to be the most emblematic

And what do you need one for ina runabout that small?
It has a dipstick in the tank, that's all you get, that's all you need.
Even that much is a luxury as motorcycles of that era had neither and that thing is basically a 2 stroke light motorcycle engine strapped to a plastic fantastic chassis.

>>28525572
Manual Spark is great

The Triumph Stag as far as I know was so poorly designed that regardless of how well you took care of it, it's engineering flaws would starve the engine of oil and grenade it. An engine swap would be your only cure. Toss in British manufacturing o the time, and you have a winner (loser). Generally any car will be okay i you take care of it, even a Chrysler 2.7. But this car was doomed from the get-go.

Range Rovers are dog shit

Delusional

Citroën C3 Pluriel.
>what if we made a tiny convertible with nothing but downsides?
>what if we also made it the least convenient car on the planet?
>oh oh and what if we built it out of plastic?

>>28521764 (OP)
You kids have no idea how bad anything made under this logo was...

any Italian and British cars

Plymouth Reliant

Pretty strong contenders. The Chevy Cruze like the anon said doesn't even come close. The Cruze is horribly mediocre, the other cars ITT are downright terrible.

The ecosport is the #1 most popular car that I didn't realize existed until I saw someone post about it very recently. Then suddenly I realized there are thousands of them all over the place. I've never seen it advertised and never heard anyone I know mention them. Who the fuck would buy that thing?
