The 50 Worst Cars of All Time

THE FULL LISTING:

http://www.time.com/time/specials/pa...658545,00.html

We had a 1995 Ford Explorer (it is on the list). My wife drove it for a month and then I "inherited" the piece of junk.

I owned a 1975 Triumph TR7 and had great times in it and it had no problems. I got lucky, it seems. Girls sure liked it (yes, I was as shallow as an empty Texas pond; as superfical as anyone on the planet back then).

All Fiats ever made should be on the list.

I KNEW the Gremlin had to be on the list.

The Yugo, which from everything I've read makes the worst fiat ever look like classic engineering is easily the worst car of all time. From a heater that according to 'car and driver' would fry the foot on the gas pedal while somehow managing to leave the rest of the interior cold as ice to performance values that compare unfavorably to almost anything else in that time period. And most hings in anytime period since 1930.

I didn't see the K-Car on that list. My boss bought a few of those for the company they were terrible. My worse "car" was an '83 Ford Ranger 4WD pickup. I got it used in '85. It was gutless (first-year of fuel injection), needed frequent repairs, and by '92 had thrown a rod. I've owned 11 cars and trucks and it was the worst. I never had problems with any of the others.

How can the Model T be on the list? That's crazy. Yeah, it had problems, but it's the Model T that made all modern cars.

Also, the Prowler wasn't that bad. Yes, lame and over priced, but at the time car design was flat. There hadn't bee a cool car produced in the US in decades, and the Prowler proved that Americans actually do like cool looking cars.

And putting the 7 series on the worst just because of i-Drive is kind of over kill.

Other than that, yeah, sure.

Have you ever seen the hilarious (to me) Drowning Mona [Starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Neve Campbell-she ain't hard to look at, et al. (2000)]?

Only Yugos are used in the movie, so the owners are as dumb as dirt. Your post reminded me of that flick. It ain't rated high but I still liked it.

My friend had a 1970 Gremlin in 1979, when I was about to finish college. God couldn't answer "Why he bought it?" I wouldn't go anywhere with him in that rolling junk-heep.

It was constantly in the shop. He sold it (finally) for what a six-pack of beer cost (or, so it seemed).

Is it bad? I haven't heard anything about it. I was kind of expecting it to be good.

My sister had a Pinto. It was funny cause after it was all over the news about how the car could explode in a rear end collision we noticed people didn't tail gate her anymore. She could do 15 mph and the guy behind her would still keep his distance. lol

[garyd]

It's ability to explode in a rear end collision was over rated. To My knowledge it happened once when a drunk doing sixty miles an hour on a city street slammed into the back of one that was sitting at a street light.

It's a camaro hence it sucks ass just like GM which should have been left to rot in 08, but no, we had to have obamamotors and now he have thousands of those butt ugly, heavy pieces of shit roaming the street. We waxed one of those by 6 car lengths in a 2010 GT 500. Just blew it's doors completely off and gave him the finger just make the pain worse.

I bet you can expect "fun."

"Reliable"? It seems not per Edmunds.
