What is the most POS car you've ever driven?

My 2012 Ford Focus.

Corolla a best

2001 Kia Spectra.

Electronics and shitty plastic breaking everywhere, broken fuel gauge, numbest steering, pedal felt like one of those children's toy trucks (extremely light and instantaneous response, but in a terrible way).

*tips turban*

Peace and blessings to a fellow Ayatollah of the Toyota Corolla

so you never drove one i see.

Sure have.
Numb as can be.

N- no
I live in america.

My Comanche
But only because I bought it beat to shit with a howling diff, no speedo, no hazards, shorted signals, rotten brakes, a blown shaft sensor, two vacuum leaks and a floor shift gauge cluster on a column shift.

When it's done in another week or two it'll be better than both brand new shitboxes I've owned.

Tiburon 1st&2nd gen
All hyundai before 2002
Cavalie/Sunfire All of them
Pt cruiser/nean/ non turbo
Stratus/Sebring turds
Landrover lr4
Ford contour includes svt
Escort zx2

Every Ford rental I ever got.

My dad's loaner Lexus is always the newest model and it handles like a pos.

A 2013 rental Mistu Galant.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

1988 manual ford ranger 4 banger straight piped. 0-60 was prob 15 seconds.

2016 fiesta CVT with simulated shift points. Whoever programmed those shifts has clearly never driven a car.

91 Chevy Corsica
Had to drive it for driving school, what a piece of shit

Ex girlfriends 2007 Chevy Aveo hatchback. Drove it for about 7 hours and learned to hate it. No power to pass people, and with its 4 speed it got worse mileage than my fullsize 2011 Silverado.

Probably something made by Chrysler. Can't remember specific vehicles and not because they drove terribly. It's because when I worked at Dodge I could guarantee that one out of every three tickets I pulled, there would be some bullshit electrical issue going on.

As the owner of a 2003, are the newer models really that bad? The interior of my car is definitely cheap Japanese econobox status, but the car handles surprisingly well and feels plenty fun to me.

I don't mind my '13 spark. Sure, if I'm going slowlife I'd rather have a maximum comfy ameribarge or Lexus LS to be cruising in but I've had good luck with it service-wise. No power, absolutely. I consider it a luxury golf cart. At least I got power everything and the AC was under warranty when it shit the bed. Selling it when it starts going bad mechanically, not going to bother preserving it over buying a comfybarge.

3 most unpleasant cars were jelly bean Taurus, Chrysler Sebring, and pt cruiser

I would actually kms if I was stuck driving one of those cars

>car that doesn't have shifting
>engineer shifting simulation into the program
This is dumber than fake tail pipes and hood vents

98 dodge intrepid, my sister owned it before and would take it mudding so the tie rods and brakes were an absolute shitfest

That xbox hueg windshield pillar blocks so much view, it's bothers you all the time, at every check, every turn. Awful. Can't remember which engine it was either but it felt like it was dying at every incline. And that stupid ass laggy speedometer. The bloody first gen Twingo from 1993 had a better digital speedometer. Fuck this turd, ugh...

...

Got a neon/cavalier as a rental years ago. When you put the sun visor down it would smack the rear view mirror out of position.

Who fucking designs this shit

Which year was that Cavalier? Mine doesn't do that.

A particularly bad mx6 that belonged to a friend. It was an abused piece of shit, but the suspension and drivetrain parts that broke and we replaced had such terrible design and metallurgy I couldn't believe it. Much less when I got to Veeky Forums and discovered some people think they're good cars

My 2002 did that.

Fuck GM. How do you produce so many of these cars with such a simple mistake that could easily be fixed?

Column shifters are GOAT. Look how much space is wasted in the Mercury.

2014 Camry.

Not really a POS but it was the numbest driving experience I've ever felt.

Dodge dart by far. No pick up, shit interior and the transf was anemic

>as nice as a focus

A 73 Type 1 converted into a Baja Bug, but with half-rusted floor pans, multiple holes in the bucket of snakes exhaust, giant tires even for a Baja conversion, a carb that refused to pump properly, and badly reinstalled doors with giant gaps. Only one headlight worked, the transmission was wobbly and seemed to have a mind of its own, there was no power because of those giant wheels, steering was vague at best, and it constantly smelled of gasoline and Black Ice.

One of my cousins had bought it for $2500 from an old hick in Gary, Indiana. I wrote "Dung Beetle" on it in sharpy on the back, and I don't think he ever noticed. I deeply regret not having any photos.

Turbo pt losers are terrible unreliable pieces of shit. At least the 02+ Cavaliers have the ecotec which is a pretty solid engine. Handling is still garbage though.

My friends old Skoda Fabia. Jesus that was the shitbox of the shitboxes. Absolute no feel and all you can sense is the rattles and rust. Thank God he owns a Fiesta ST now.

>2+2 280ZX that was donated to my high school auto shop.
Velvet red interior was literally disintegrating into dust, much of the electronics didn't work.
Still had rust problems even in fucking California of all places.
Clutch was completely burnt out, essentially had to ride to clutch to get into any gear.
Suspension made all sorts of worrying noises and rode like a boat.
Previous t-bone accident caved in rear quarter panel, ended up completely cutting it out and just drove around without it.
Had roughly lost half it's of it's horsepower, it was so pathetically slow even my shitbox fiesta could outrun it.
A million other issues I can't remember at this point.

Although I'll give it slack since the previous owner just completely neglected it beyond belief.

This, in this exact color. Was my grandma's car that I inherited to learn to drive. Perfect for the job, because I had absolutely no fear of damaging it (which didn't happen anyway). Even though it was 10 years ago it already looked like an old piece of shit..

...

E320. Steering is stiff even with new fluid, and anytime I service it at a dealership I immediately get charged over $650 just for visiting.

> Protip: Lexus > Mercedes

that doesnt make the car a POS

Old Opel tigra . I'm 175 cm and even I felt cramped as fuck. Besides, visibility is awful, dynamics are nonexistant, built quality and noise is fucking terrible. Atleast Russian shitboxes are supposed to be shot therefore pure and honest.

...

Your sister is a real dumb bitch.

This one. The only one where I could not find anything particularly "wrong" expect that it was a huge piece of shit in every aspect

There was just so many weird things about it, and there was seemingly no reason for any of it. The suspension felt like it had way too much travel, the steering was unusually heavy, heavy gear shift, audio was complete shit, interior was the cheapest I ever felt, fucktons of engine and road noise, incredibly annoying to work on due to the compact nature of it, strange lack of low-end power in the diesel engines, headlights were basically about as good as two large candle lights and the paint had apparently started flaking after three years

SN95 v6 mustang. Couldn't fit worth a shit at. 6'2", had to put my knee by my head to get the clutch. Engine lugged going below 1.8k rpm.... In a 3.8l v6.

97 kia sephia. it developed a problem where o/d would randomly shut off and the car would almost fish tail at highway speed

Chevy cobalt sedan, base model

An ice cream van, as it has a cash register in it.

My old 240 but I still miss the fuck out of it, rest its soul.

>oil leak
>gas leak
>power steering leak
>randomly lost brake fluid
>remains of both rocker panels held together by paint
>floor pans equally rusted out (one would later get a hole thanks to a retarded friend)
>both the fuel pumps were dead or dying so I had to jump them to life by momentarily connecting both fuse terminals with a paper clip every time I wanted to start the car
>rear shocks were completely shot
>engine mounts swollen and soft due to oil leak
>reverse lockout switch broke so I had to rig something together with a clothes pin and some wire
>glove box would fly open if I hit a medium sized bump without fail
>temp gauge only worked below freezing temperatures
>fuel gauge stopped being accurate under half a tank
>parking brake couldn't hold the car but still dragged even when fully relaxed
She was so much fun in the winter though, used to hoon all the time and drift around corners, not that I had a choice though.

>base model

Nah, you're just a boring faggot.

The SE isn't actually that bad. Besides, having a numb and isolated driving experience is kind of the point of a Camry.

Driving a Toyota Camry is the automotive equivalent of shooting yourself up with lidocaine. There is literally nothing fun about it. Can feel literally zero bumps, zero shifts, zero Gs on acceleration. All of that on an equally forgettable chassis. Doesn't have the fun land barge driving experience, or fun small shitbox experience. It is so middle lane that it beats out white bread in blandness.

Yaris mk.1 D4D

1986 Jeep Cherokee. It was in the shop every other weekend for suspension, CKP, and brake failures. Rusty as fuck too. I owned this in 2001-2003.

>taking that thing on the highway in the first place

I don't think you could even find a strech of road in South Korea you could go that fast on back then.

The exact car you posted, same color and all

Yet my sister loves it

Sounds like you're driving the wrong camry
2,000 pounds 160 hp in a small car? yes please

automatic yaris circa 2009

Man that is a not well maintained car. Zx2s are amazing

Kek fiestas don't have cvts.

I'm mainly talking about 2009+ Camrys.

Typical busrider knowledge right here folks

>4 speed
Are you sure? I had one and it had 5 speed. It was a 1.4 dohc with a laughble 94hp and even more laughable mpgs. I mean my current 1.8 civic has much better mpgs and 140hp. How the hell do you explain that

1994 Mazda 626. The thing ate transmissions like it was it's job, brakes gave out while driving (almost died) and 3 of 4 window regulators stopped working. Fuck that car, worst 2 years of my life.

2001 kia rio cinco
the 9/11 of cars
handbrake didn't work, battery wouldn't recharge, doors were thin as paper, ac blew hot air, struggled to get up to 40mph, tires were oreo cookies

Yes they do.

Honda civic, and all similarly designed fugly ass newer cars.
The visibility is complete shit.

...

Toss up between this and a 1991 tercel.

chrysler 200
literal fucking trash

This thing.
Even ignoring how expensive, unreliable, relatively thirsty and unsafe it is, the driving experience is just awful.
steering is shit and the gearbox has to be the worst i've ever used

Ford Festiva, the Kia built one.

Bland, uninspiring and felt cheap everywhere.

This piece of shit was my first car, the interior felt and sounds like a bunch of toddlers put it together

oddly enough it didn't give me a whole lot of trouble, though the transmission speed controller had to be replaced once

>pic semi related, wrong color right year

As a person who has driven and/or owned most of those vehicles, only the Chrysler products truely belong on that list. And even then, a coupe neon 5speed ain't that bad to sling on a track.

this thing is THE pos

the interior is dead fucking cheap, you feel every fucking bump, the suspension is utter shit and so on

Chevy has been putting 5 speeds in since the 90s. Why do you have the special snowflake? The automatic was a 4 speed. But you refer to automatic as "automatic".

2003 Dodge Grand Caravan, was more annoying to drive then the Isuzu box truck at my old job.

How many miles did you get on it??

hahaha would do anything for that car. :)

probably just needed a better owner.

2003 cavalier.

Talk about cheap plastic the whole dash was crumbling all over the fucking place...
A fucking sealed transmission that started making terrifying sounds.
The steering wheel suddenly fell drooping like a limp dick until I had to replace the entire column.

Fuck the cavalier and most importantly fuck Chevy.

E36 325i
replaced OEM radio with missing radio code
retarded door actuators that unlock and lock when fob is used
questionable oil filter age
hood pops up since rusted locks
questionable mileage, probably 180k km
auto trans, needing a rebuild soon
fluid leak, most likely power steering
13mpg

$$$4k, no lowballers, I know what I got

Those 2006 spectras are okay... if you get a manual. And a sx model.... the suspension is a bit better and bigger tires. Had one for a few years. A bit underrated. Way better than most entry level shitboxes of the time. Haters gonna hate.

A sealed transmission as opposed to an unsealed transmission? Does its counterpart just hold its fluid in with hopes and dreams?

I presume he meant sealed as in you don't ever change the transmission fluid.

1995 Statesman
>engine rattle
>gearbox slipped in every gear
>had a front end collision
>mismatched panels
>all electronics other than lights and speedo was broken
>whiny diff
>fucked springs
>bad on fuel
>not even the V8

It was a terrible, heavy barge to drive. The interior was mint but that was about it. All of my cars are worn out POS, the only one ive tried to keep alive is the Valiant

2004 ford explorer is the most reliable vehicle we ever had. Bought it 6 years ago and not a single issue. 2nd most reliable was a 95 ford f150. Also lasted quite a bit with no issues. So ford is good in my eyes. Never driven a Honda so I can't comment in that

1st Gen Audi TT
>Half the LEDs in the gauge cluster were out, no speedo or odometer
>where there once was a clutch disc was nothing but compacted ashes that couldn't hold onto a shekel if it was the last one on earth
>no 1st gear or reverse
>rotors warped to the hell no brakes or parking brake
>windows didn't roll down and A/C didn't work due to electrical issues
>fake carbon fiber everywhere and illegal tinted windows

Every night for a month I pulled the POS into the garage since it was the foreman's buddy's car

I worked at an auto action in my youth so I can tell you about POS.

Worst car was this Eclipse. Get this, its 100 degrees out side, the cars fans are stuck in max heat, the windows dont work, the power steering didnt work and I had to drive it through a very slow auction.

Second worst was probably a Lotus. Bumpyist fucking car ever and you have to cram your ass inside it feet first with the door open. Also had about 10 different triggers that had to be done before it would start and the mother fucker had a bad battery. Piece of shit.

Between the two, I would set fire to the Lotus. The Eclipse had some excuses.

My friend has an 2013 holden barina I drove once and holoy fuck, steering feels way too sensitive, understeers like fuck so I guess thats what they did to counter it. had a digital only speedometer that just showed the speed as number, sounds like it's full of angry bees, had the slushiest shittiest automatic transmission I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing and had less power than my fucking microwave.
