We have a Chrylser Voyager 94 model at work which have been troubled ever since we got it. It works fairly well now however, but that's because we have worked very hard with it. There are several other cars that are way worse though!

Trabant drivers are slightly more scary than the cars themselves - I saw one broken down (amid usual clouds of dense blue smoke) on the Autobahn near Frankfurt and the driver was out of the car trying to fix it - in the freeking fast-lane with big fat Audi's & Beamers screeming past at 250kph! Shocked

Given that 'worst' in Dutch means 'sausage', this must be the worst car ever:

Wow, my uncle used to have a Trabant in early 1970s and drive me around. It was fun.
 
Anyway, I never had a car, never drove one and never passed the driving test! Star
 
I am a happy pedestrian, although often frustrated by the heavy metal environment...LOL

LOL Missed that one. A real DAF 44. In the village where I was born we had two sisters, each weighing around 100 kgs, who lived together and drove one of those. Imagine that...

I'd rather not imagine that... Pinch

I saw quite a few Skoda's in Praha, when I went there 10 years ago, including a kitted out one with spoilers, lowered chassis and painted in bright red.

Don't forget India has cornered the market in Austin Princess's as well!

I spent too many years as a motorcyclist, however my dad decided I had to get a car and to my mortal embarrassement, bought me one of these:
1965%20Bond%20MkG%20Tourer
...The Bond Minicar - with a stonking 197cc engine driving the front wheel (yep, just the one) it was worse than the Reliant could ever be, you had to open the bonnet and kick-start the engline! Luckily I never had to drive it on the road and soon unloaded it onto a 'collector' of said vehicles.
 
Undetered by that little set-back, he then bought me one of these:
I actually quite liked this little bugger, but my dad baulked when I said I wanted to put a BMW 750 motorcycle engine in it. We did it up and sold it on, again before I had to drive it on the road.
 
After that he finally gave up and let me buy another bike.
What?

Wow!!! My father used to drive a bright orange one in the early 80s. It didn't have a vinyl roof but me and my brothers always felt like "The Dukes of Hazard" in that thing LOL

I dont have a car either, but I have a driving license. Question : Can I still drive ?LOL
In Budapest pedestrians and cyclists don't get much respect, so I wouldn't call myself happy pedestrian or cyclist here. I'm not that keen on dangerous extreme sports.LOL
