^^^ lol, well I can't be certain, but my girlfriend's sure looked like that. Like a big version of the VW Scirocco. Were there other versions of that body type?

Maggots probably just bought the red ones?Quote:

All these unbelievably shitty GM cars have me convinced that the entirety of the world was just varying shades of Browns, taupes, and burnt siennas in the 70s.

My first whip:

Straight 6, three on the tree, impressed all the ladies. Bought it with 60k miles and front end was already super loosey goosey. Braking was an approximate description. Reliable drivetrain though. Quickly moved on to my first Volvo wagon...
Is that a.... Must..maro....Am?Quote:

So what does thread title "the worst car " ask ?
The bertone... a complete piece.
The all around worst car ever is.... The Hummer H1. My friend went through 3 motors, 1 transmission and 4 sets of brakes in 100k miles. The interior burlwood fell apart, you got wet when it rained, you couldn't hear the person next to you in the car who was farther away from you than the driver in the jeep in the other lane.
And for being 7'2" across, it was tiny inside due to the trans tunnel.
The worst sports car ever was the 1975 corvette, with 160 HP.
The worst truck ever... the 97 ford F150 had 34 recalls. 34.
I remember when it was time for me to get a car it seemed like all that was for sale in my price range were these.
I decided to keep riding my bike a little longer

Tercel wagon with 4wd? Those were awesome! Buddy in college had one. You couldn't kill it with fire.Quote:

The Tercel wagon ^^ looked like a USA mailbox from the back but hey were really good cars
I supose in this case they were not pretty enough but is that the same as worst?
Some of them had 4x4 and there were not many small 4x4 cars back then which would be 83-85?
And stick!Quote:

Yeah, my mom had one of those (work car) and we called it the ATM. Great little car even though it was ugly AFQuote:

Bought an '85 automatic. Terrible car in comparison.
My were know as the ATM as well
at the time the only competition in small 4x4 wagons was the subaru which i owned and actualy the tercel was much more refined to drive on a highway ... even had 5 gears
but it wasnt worst anything
Friend of mine's mom had one of those Tercel wagons when I was in high school. Theirs was white with black trim. We called it the Space Shuttle.
My wife (at the time) when I lived in Fairbanks in the 80s had one of those Tercel wagons - 4WD and 5 speed. It was a great fucking car for winter, and there's a lot of winter there. At that time the other choices were Subarus or AMC Eagles. The Tercel was a no-brainer.
There wasn't a lot of consideration for how vehicles looked in FBK in the 80s. They either worked well or they didn't.
Well, I think we can all agree that it's no LeBaron.
Lower it and put some new wheels on it and you might have something.
I'm hearing that works for a lot of these cars.Quote:

I haven't looked in awhile but we used to check the consumers reports to find out which cars or products are gona suck and stay away from them
usually any jeep product, lots of chrysler, VW were suspect but any toyota was good

The aftermarket chrome mascara for the wheel arches is a nice touch for what had to be one of the biggest death traps of the 90s.

Widely regarded as one of the ugliest cars ever built, the Pontiac Aztek ranked in sixth place, with over a quarter of all sales going to Millennials. Edmunds called it a result of the Breaking Bad Effect, named after the hit TV show that followed the exploits of a chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin. The main character of the show drove an Aztek.

the worst car is the one that won't start when you really really need it to. like when plan colombia narcs are chasing your ass down the streets of a south american capitol.
I said that a few pages back. Hipster millenials.Quote:

Not the worst car ever. Not even remotely close.
Indeed, possibly one of the better cars ever.
What.In.The.Fucking.Fuck?!
The 4wd Tercel wagon belongs in "the best ski car/wagon" thread, not the worst. :nonono2:
They were available with a manual transmission with a low range.
If ours didn't die of terminal rust, I'd still be driving it. Replaced it with an alltrac wagon, which also should be in a "best" list.
It died from terminal rust as well, so yeah, there's that, but still awesome reliable dirtbag skibum vehicles.
Sorry gang but it is the worst car when you are a teenage girl.
But before the panties get too bunched, know that I value my cars differently these days as in what wyeaster said- one that starts and runs is the best to me now!!
Yeah but I have you on Ignore, so...Quote:

The next time somebody says you can own three cars- what would they be - I'm inclined to respond-
Crown Vic police interceptor
Tercel 4wd wagon manual of course
And,,,,,,
A sport Quattro
There I figured out the thread.
Wonder who currently has the worst car on the TGR forum...
Anyone here actually own a LeBaron, PT Cruiser, Chevette, whatever, today?
I think DD's Sonata might be in the running. ^^^
