The worst car you've ever driven...

[Doctor_Gonzo]

Ford Taurus, Ford Falcon, Mazda 323... Hm. Guys, you have never driven russian cars.If All that you named compare with russian VAZ,GAZ,UAZ... it sound like you're comparing Mercedes S600 with Opel Kadett. Russian VAZ 2106 (this number mean nothing) is the copy of Fiat 124 Which was produced in 70s with negligible differences. It doesn't have ABS, any airbags, power steering, air conditioning... It has nothing. And this is the 21st century. Another models more modern, but they still havent ABS, air conditioning... No one russian car has automatic transmission. The most powerfull VAZ cars have Opel 150 hp engine (only for order) or russian 98 hp engine. GAZ Volga has almost 5 metres of lenght and has 2.4 l, 4 cylinder 130 hp engine. Only this year it 's produced with independent front suspension. The crash testes showed that only one russian car will keep the life of driver and passenger. (EURONCAP method) That's fun, isn't it?

hilman hunter -paykan highline

well the Paykan was a bit of a disaster.
Take a car and engien designed in the 60s, components made in Britian in the WORST of it's union troubles and have them assembled in Iran, in a new factory with new recently trained locals.

That any of the crates arrived with all the parts in surprised most folks !!
( I spent a short spell working for Chrysler UK in the 70s )

good for you
btw,im from iran

I guesed that with the reference to the Paykan

are there any still around ?
In India you STILL find the Morris Oxfords driving around.
That was a 60's version of the 'hunter' deal.

British companies would palm-off old production to countries looking to get an auto industry started. Was the hunter manufacturing ever moved to Iran ? I only remember the kits being shipped in crates.

The Hindustan Ambassador is still the most used car for civil servants I think, I spent many unhappy hours in these things, and also in Indian traffic.

My friend's Fiat (I believe it's a Fiat UNO). From the 80's and with 250,000Km on it. The engine is one of the smallest I've seen but makes more noise than a truck, slow as hell, bumpy ride and almost impossible to get it into reverse.
We call it "El Turbo" But that's just for fun. The other nick it has is "La Chatarra" which I believe its right translation would be "Driftwood"

But it used to take us from A to B in Vzla and at least it's a car that thiefs won't look at

Mercury Mystique (Ford Contour). To be specific my dad's mystique, I hate to be say this because it makes me seem like an import noob but american engineering sucks, this car doesnt have the ability to close the vents so ur constantly eating the exhaust from the car infront of you, no heated mirrors, the power steering broke 1 day after the warrentee expired which meant turning became a chore. I've had a bad history with american cars, of the 3 accidents i've been in throughout my life (none caused by me), all 3 involved an american car. Obviously this doesn't mean anything but its just bad karma. The 2 other cars our household owns is a Honda Accord 98 EX V6 which I addore and a 99 Corrolla LE which is my sister's. If I had to quantify my love/hate of these 3 cars I'd say the accord gets a full score of 10. corolla a 7 and the mystique a 1 just because it moves.
