The car you hated the most?
#12
I had a 1999 Toyota Avensis as a company car. Truly awful to drive and possibly the least reliable car I've ever 'owned'. I had it from new, and in the 18500 miles we spent in each others company (about six months) it spent a total of one month with Dunstable Toyota. It had three sets of front discs, a new dash, a new ECU, a new fuel level sensor and a new steering pump.
Add to this the driving 'experience' which was un-involving (super light steering with zero feedback, massive body roll, a really unpleasant gear change and an engine that revved, but produced little in the way of forward motion) and I was totally underwhealmed with 'the car in front'.

A toyota carina estate. It was shocking, the spare wheel was held in a cage on the underside of the car, I drove over a bump and heard a noise, looked in the rear view mirror to see the spare wheel rolling down the road, luckily it was a private road with no one around.
The car I had the most aggravation from was my first s2k in 2000, new short engine, new alloys, new clutches (yes plural) and new rear shocks so sadly it was a love hate relationship, absolute pile of shite now I look back, luckily my second one made up for it.

A Rover 214 (Honda Concerto based version).
I ended up replacing it with a new car as the repayments were less than it was costing me a month to keep it going. It was less than 2 years old when I got rid of it

I had a a Citroes AX GT when I was 20
Window would fall into the door cavity every 3 months.
It leaked oil out.
It leaked water in.
The rear brakes didn't work.
The carb lost all the screws holding it together and would open up and let air in and stall.
The tail pipe fell off and blew exhaust onto the rear bumper and burned/split it.
The front bumper fell off and was rebolted on.
The fogs never worked.
The front lights would rattle about loose.
It was keyed the first month I had it.
Someone drove into it after 14 months and smashed it to bits.
The boot was in the back seats, the front doors wouldn't open as the rear quaters had shoved into the doors. The drivers seat front mounts were torn out the floor, I was left looking out the sunroof as the seat was at a 45 deg angle.
The insurance then offered me more than I'd paid 14 months previous.
It was still better than the Escort estate I bought as a beater when I blew the S2000 up.
