Or how about one of these. I give you the Dacia Jogger. A friend called from the motorway this morning to ask if I knew something uglier!!

Back to cars, ADO71 Austin Princess and its Ambassador successor must be up there with the worst ever.

aunt had company one and said was her best car ever, ride was similar to her boyfriends roller at the time. preferred the roller so never went in the princess

for me has to be lada, so noisy inside compare to my Manta at the time
however can’t remember the sport / rally model in 80s but raced one which was surprisingly bloody quick. soon took a different view of them.

The Mach-E Mustang is just horrible.

I was once stood looking at one & in awe of it's awfulness and started chatting to a bloke about what an abomination it was and how it besmirches the name of one of the all-time great muscle cars, when he got in it and drove off !
Ah well. Diplomacy never was my strong point :rolleyes:

No you are correct, it's a blasphemy on the name of what Mustang stood for. Steve McQueen is probably hitting the rev limiter right now at it.

The Mustang was a styling exercise to make an average grocery getter more desirable. Pretty much what the Mach E is.

I was going to say there’s not a “worst car” as I can see a little bit of good in everything even an Uno, but then I remembered. Nissan Juke. Had one as a hire car. Not a single redeeming feature. Too small inside. Too big outside. Ugly. Slow uncomfortable. Woeful visibility. Doesn’t handle. Plasticy. Expensive. From the company that’s given us the Skyline and Zeds, hang your head in shame Nissan.

Not to mention ugly, also ugly, and what a name.

Did you have "the Caddy that zigs" ...? Or the Cadillac Cavalier (Cimarron)?

Whilst waiting for my company car to be delivered, I had to drive a rental MG HS a couple of months back. I had it for about 3 weeks. I am still scarred and in therapy. A truly horrendous car that should never be allowed. But it's popular because it's cheap and packed with tech - that doesn't really work and when it does it annoys more than aids. A terrible implementation of a car... Apologies if I have offended anyone stupid enough to buy one... ;-)

I think the essence of this thread is that there are so many really poor cars produced. If I were a car-maker I would be embarrassed by some of the poop that is passed off. I lie awake sometimes wondering "Did I get that right today?" If they have any consciences these guys must be total insomniacs! Whoever signs off these cars and says "Yup we got that one bang on."
