Your least favorite car
Hi guys, every individual would have a car in their dream but I guess we have talked about this topic enough. So why don’t we discuss our least favorite car today?

Any of the “plunger” cars. The indistinguishable econo box vehicles no one really wants, but they have to have a car to get to work and back home. So like a plunger, you don’t want to have one, but you know you have to have one.
So Amy of those are on my list of least favorite. My first car qualified. 1960 VW bug. It was 36 hp of economy, and I sold it for more than I paid for it. It got me around, but nothing good about it except it was cheap to drive for a 16 year old that had to pay 100% of all costs except the insurance until I turned 18.

The least favorite car we've owned, or our least favorite car?

There are far too many to list.
I drove a few Dodge Neons as rental cars back in the day and hated them. I'm sure that if I'd driven a PT Cruiser, it would be as bad or worse than the neon. We once had a Mercury Topaz which may be the worst car I've even owned. I also once owned a 1981 Olds Omega. It was a gray four door with an anemic 2.5L 4 cyl. That was pretty bad too. I've driven several other cars that were horrible, Saturn SL, late model Nissan Versa, late-base model Toyota Corolla, and they were all horrible. I've driven a couple of Jeep Patriots which were also bad. I'm sure there are probably several hundred more that could be added to the list.

2001VW TDI AUTOMATIC. I had a 99 stick that was a great car but my mechanic totaled it on a test drive. Replaced it with the 2001. The tranny was a piece of crap. Check engine lights almost daily. Worst car ever!

Yeah but we've been over the car we like the most here. It's obvious to even the "newbs"

Least favorite I owned? Saturn SC2. I owned it two weeks and returned under the money back guarantee. The sales guy looked like I shot his puppy. I was commuting 55 miles each way and the ride was way too rough. I ended up with a Honda Civic (1993).
On a Rental Car, I once rented an HHR around 2006. I have never driven a more ponderous handling car. Thank god I only had to drive it 2 days.

You need 10,000 posts before you can begin questioning.

Drove one of these (for a very short while) in college. Could be the Chevette was actually worse, but the Citation was a monumental POS.
