The worst car you've ever driven...
Discussion
In reverse order, I had a BMW courtesy car which I thought would be a Mini or some such but it turned out to be a Peugeot 208.....just the sort of thing that teaches people that overtaking is for reckless speed freak killers!
So slow it was dangerous and an utterly joyless driving experience.....built for people who don't like cars.
My Sister's mkii Fiesta like the above but way worse build quality....it is only in second place as the above had electric windows etc....
Worst by a million miles was again, my Sister's mki 1983 Austin Mini Metro.....4 speed, terrifying steering, no radio, horrible handling and totally s
t brakes....all from new! The epitome of just why the British car industry had such a terrible reputation.
At 47, I can't get my head round all these teenagers driving round in new cars....my first car was a 1979 mki Vauxhall Cavalier.....the most understeering car in the world, at any speed!
Kids these days eh......

Aixam 500. Try one. A Peugeot 206 feels like a rolls Royce afterwards. The most hateful pile of junk I have ever driven. 2 cylinder lombardini engine with a cvt gearbox and brake discs taken straight from a halfords mountain bike.
Either that or a perodua kenari. Like an underpowered postman pat van, only a lot more beige.

My old bosses mk5 Ford Escort Estate.

Try the mk 4 1.6 diesel (non turbo) I had to drive my bosses company car one time, poor bI have never driven such a souless pile if crap.

d was stuck with it for years, awful awful thing.Oh, there’s another one. Very small brand new 3 cylinder Peugeot. It had lots of stuck on shiny bits and it drove and sounded like it was broken.
It was, it had lost a cylinder.
One more, 2017 Corsa, I think it was a cvt. Again brand new. Seemed broken. It just got louder when you put your foot down but didn’t go faster, Vauxhall had also achieved a miracle-very hard ride with terrible handling.

Probably an Easytronic; a work colleague/close friend had one. It is absolutely dire, hers was a 1.0 ecoflex mated to the jerkiest auto I've ever experienced - I reckon 0-60 was about 19 seconds. kieranblenk said:

Sounds like the one. Young women seem very fond of them for some reason. Probably one of my series land rover's
atrocious to drive; noisy, slow, brakes... sometimes, about 12-15mpg
But the feeling you get from them is amazing as long as your not going too far.. or on roads with a speed limit more than 40.
they are contagious, we now have a collection of 8 classic LR's!!

Had a 17 plate Giulietta? Today. In a word, awful. I can't imagine anyone taking that for test drive and thinking "yes, yes this'll do".
It rode quite nicely and it looks ok. That was about it. The headlamps were like candles and the high beam literally felt like you were shining a torch out the window.
Clutch felt like it was set in a bucket of stodge and the brakes...my word. Theres like a half foot of pedal travel where absolutely nothing happens and then you transition into emergency braking.
I can't believe someone signed that off. The 5 inch infotainment system was super low rent.
The engine (I guess a 1.4 multiair turbo) was ok. Bit weak in "natural" mode but quite chirpy in "dynamic". Thirsty though. Handling was quite inert, it went where you pointed it I suppose.
