Your worst driven car yet

Being car enthusiasts, we all drive all sorts of cars regularly. We love some and we hate some. So lets here hear it from you guys. Which is the worst car you have ever driven?

Tata Indica and indigo ....
i was never comfortable driving these two cars ... i think even good old amby and fiats are Lots better than this two cars ....

I know i'll be flamed but most dissapointing has been the Palio 1.2 too sluggish & underpowered for that body shell.. beside that its the Santro..

Here we go. Well it's diff to rate one car but here's a list of cars i consider below average when it comes to driving pleasure. Impressions are based on acceleration, braking, handling/vehicle dynamics put together.

Worst driver's cars : Indica, Indigo, Marina, Wagon R, Fiat Uno, Santro Xing (haven't driven the old model), conti and amby.

Well I have found quite a few cars disapointing to drive but theres only one which takes cake and I can say its plain horrid ..its the San Storm. I have never driven anything more pathetic then that and they promote it as a sportscar duhh.. !

For those who havent read my review you can read it here complete with pictures of the horrible build quality and fit'n'finish.

Well... i remember driving a daihatsu which my dad had got home for a few days. It was in absolutely pathetic condition and had absolutely no brakes at all. He didnt even allow me to change gears..

That was simply the worst car that i have driven. A close second was a tata sierra. It was terrible. Damn slow too.

i had driven a fiat UNO , pathetic brakes, pathetic steering ( no power steering), at the end felt like my hands & legs would burst with pain, jerks at every chage of gear. i think it was fiat's worst output.

above all the car had a female owner, hats off to her to drive such a heavy car.

indigo ...santro....

Rtech · 31st January 2005, 15:58

Hmm...worst drive, that would have to be the Mahindra Jeep SWB (Sorry GTO!). Darn thing was worse than a boat when it came to taking a corner, not because of the suspension, but because it takes a country mile to actually turn!!

normally_crazy · 31st January 2005, 16:02

The Indica , The Indigo , The Safari , The Sumo !!
