Not my worse car but for some reason this reminded me of a time in wales,not long after passing my test i went through a few **** cars,me and a mate went to wales,i was in my fiat panda 4x4 and he had a peugeot 405.One day we decided to take a short cut to town,which meant going up a very steep hill.I was lead vehicle and started to climb the hill when all of a sudden i noticed my mate was no longer in view,hmmm i thought as i got to the top.About 20 mins had passed still no sign of him,where the **** is he i thought,i decided to drive back down the hill,and eventually i spotted him part way up the hill but not moving.Walked over to him,what's up i said i been waiting ages at the top.I can't make it he said the car won't go up it.i pmsl.Here was me with a little 999cc engine
car that p!ssed up this hill,and my mate with a big 2ltr engined car that couldn't make it up the hill.
i never let him forget it either.Anyway we had to end up going the long way round.But a tell you something that fiat panda was a good car,you'd pull a lever to engage the 4x4 and it got me out a few muddy fields,considering the size of the engine,it was a bloody good puller...

I loved my 205 gti although it was the 1.9 mapped up, few things went wrong, but it's French hey, but wouldn't class it as a worst IMO,had plenty of fun in it.

Worst car - Mercedes B200 Turbo for being the most unreliable car Ive ever owned.

Worst car was a Renault 14. God was that a piece of ****e. Best car? Hmmmmm If best is the car I wish I still had then Ford Escort Mk1 1300GT I absolutely adored it.

Worst....VW Corrado....



Like all the VW's I've owned it was a reliability disaster. Beautiful to look at , not bad to drive, but constantly broken.

Best....Subaru Impreza.....



Solidly reliable, awesome performance, astounding handling.

SRSport

A VW being unreliable? Never!

My brother in laws Golf has just chucked up all its steering fluid outside my driveway...I told him buying a VW will only end in tears.

DPat

Worst - Alfa 146, everyone has to try one at one time, luckily it was a company car so easy to dump back on fleet management
Best - the r35, nothing will ever compare to it

Twin Fields

With the blacked out rear side windows, it looks like a VAN!

Best - My Clio Cup. Awesome car which did many laps of the Ring and still got me to work and back. Cried when it went.... Would buy it back today if I could.



Worst - I think it was a Metro I had when I was 20. Rusted like **** and had the street cred of an invalid carriage. Got shot as soon as I had 2 years NCB under my belt!

Not mine, but similar, so you can marvel at the full beauty of this baby:

My favourites, well there are two...

My last Impreza before the current one (less power than current one but was lovely to look at and I did allsorts to it):



Joint with the car that replaced it when I lost my previous job. Was quite unreliable with being 22 years old at the time but soo much fun when it worked and i learn't a fair bit of mechanical stuff on it too.




Aaaand, the worst... This. What a horrible car. It was a stop gap whilst the Impreza above was having a new gearbox. The clutch was ferked, the handbrake was on one wheel, it started periodically when it wanted to, you either had 1st gear or reverse, never both. Thewiper motor disengaged itself when it was raining and the wiper stalks used to fall off, as well as the washer tanks for front and back not working or having pumps. I used to carry water with me to poor out the window onto the windscreen, when the electric windows worked. Oh and whilst driving at 40mph one day, the brake pipes sheered leaving me with 4 people in the car to stop with said one wheel handbrake coming upto a roundabout.

For this reason, I'll never own another Fiat again, unless brand new, no owners and a bombproof warranty.

I sold it to Scoobyvirgin on here for scrap money and he lost the clutch on the drive home Poor sod.

Sadly sold. Life moves faster than an Impreza sometimes. It was a car I was planning on keeping for a good while yet.

Twin Fields

An alternative "Personalised Plate" for Tommy, me thinks!

Worse car (s) - F reg VW Polo is was a **** bucket and an 02 Focus.

regret them both a little the ford more lol....I class it as my mid life crisis at 30 lol.

Best car well had a few, Octavia Vrs probably one of my favorites as I have has 3 of them especially for th edriving factor, I like my current car which is an insignia as it is a motorway cruiser and suits my current requirements

I do miss my type RA and as it allowed me to walk away from a big crash with only seatbelt bruises I have to remember that fondly

Best is a toss up between my current my03 sti and my old Volvo v70R-top end power was fantastic

Don't think I've ever had a bad car, although I had a lot of problems from my old Celica gt4 (st165).

The best car I owned

There wasn't nothing wrong with it but it was the biggest disappointment,Never lived up to the hype.

My worst was " the green bogey " a 1.2 astra GTE replica

The floor was rotten and the exhaust could wake the dead.

Me and two of my mates all had mk1 astras and they were all different colours. We were like a very bad version of the italian job




Best car is my current blob.

DYK

Bloody hell i like the look of that,looks awesome...



You want sell it...

Big-G

I've been driving since 1967, so I've had quite a few cars in my life.
None of them ever disapointed me, but the best by far were my Classic Wagon and my Mitzy Delica 2800



Closely followed by my Merc Gelandewagen 280GE

Worst car: Rover 216Gsi Auto which I bought off my grandad as a runabout to replace the aging Nissan Sunny.

Despite being a D16 honda engine...it STILL blew the headgasket. Slow as f**k, handled like a barge and guzzled the fuel (28mpg). Combined with the typical 4" of brake pedal travel that all Rovers of that era with rear drums suffer (I manually readjusted the drums and handbrake...pedal travel was great for a week or two until the auto adjuster fecked it up again)

The 1.3 Nissan was faster, handled better, braked better, cheaper to tax and used less fuel. So sold the Rover and carried on using the Nissan.

Best car: Toss up between the Honda NSX and Monaro VXR. Although my favourite car to drive was my dad's 1986 911 Supersports

Best was my MK2 RS2000 custom closely followed by my last Impreza Sti with PPP.

Worst was Cavalier 2000 SRi
