    2013 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 no turbo petrol
    Only 27,000 miles on the clock.
    120bhp and a shockingly terrible 150nm torque!
    Averages 22 miles per gallon, and no acceleration in any gear, and no traction even if you do get the wheels spinning. It felt like I put fuel in every time I drove anywhere. I had a 1.2 petrol Micra before that was literally better to drive in every way, and way faster! The only pro for the Chevrolet is I paid £4000 for it with 27,000 miles and sold it with 29,000 3 months later for £4400!

        Daewoo Espero 1.8. Basically a mk2 Cavalier with different body and interior. A pig of a car, it was only 5 years old when I got rid, and it had practically disintegrated - the seat runners had failed, doors didn't shut properly, weird intermittent warning lights on the dash, an altogether 'orrible motor!

          You mollycoddled lot! You've nothing to complain about. I'd have loved that Chevrolet or Daewoo as my worst car.

          Now this is worth complaining about. My 1974 Mini. Calling it basic is over rating it. It was sh!t with a capital S. Exhaust fumes entered the cab, the suspension was terrible and shook you to bits. The brakes were rubbish pulling to one side every time you braked and worst of all it didn't have a radio! But!...I was 19, it was my first car and I absolutely loved it!

              I think the Espero looked more like the Ford Sierra
              The other Daewoo, the Nexia was based on the Astra

                Or there was my Vauxhall Viva HB, 76,000 on the clock when I bought it, the same when I sold it (the speedo and mileometer were broken!). The oil light kept coming on, so I took the bulb out - that stopped it
                And the distributor was knackered, points had the habit of closing at the most inconvenient times, necessitating a quick repair job with a screwdriver and hammer.

                    Focus, best car ever.
                    Worst car ever 1.8 petrol Vectra, limp mode at least once a week, every sensor at least once a week, breakdown at least once a week.

                      Peugeot 206 GTi....really liked it for about the first three months i had it then it got a bit crap after that. Always felt like you were ringing its neck even just plodding along at 30mph in town. Was expensive when it broke and not overly cheap to run. It was nearly as bad as the Vectra hire cars i used to end up in all the time with work.

                      This is one of only 5 cars i've ever owned....had an Escort 1.6Si which was great as a first car then the 206, an ST170 which is still my favourite followed by an pre facelift 160 Elite Nav tourer then my current 1.5 Sri Tourer.

                        1984 Capri Laser, without a shadow of a doubt.

                        Can't even recall exactly why I bought it. Drove it for a week, parked it, and vowed I wouldn't drive it again. Truly, truly awful thing to drive.

                            58 plate ford focus.

                            Kept dying whilst driving. After spending huge amounts trying to fix it. I gave up.

                            That's when I got the insignia.
