1983 Buick Regal T-type. great looking car and fun to drive, but the most un-refined, un-reliable piece of shit to ever come out of detroit.

unquestionably a 1991 honda civic. Tiny little go-kart engine, blowing gaskets, crappy electric infrastructure.

It took me 3 blocks of flooring it to reach 40 MPH. Toward the end, I was grateful every time the car started, and never assumed it would complete a round trip anywhere.

How bad was this car. I next bought a 1991 Ford Tempo with 109K, and it was a MASSIVE improvement. Not only will I never buy another honda, but I'll never even watch one of their commercials all the way through.

Hondas' are made from the scraps left behind from the Acura assembly line. Another tribute to the Japanese using every part of the animal, thats why Hondas' were always so much more affordable. Today they're built a little better with tightly constructed V6 engines and sport-like suspensions, I hope they can phase-out the 4-Cyllinder engine some day, it'll make V6 and V8 powered cars a little cheaper.

I've never really owned a bad car. I guess it's because I am particular in what I drive. I can only guess that a person that bought a Yugo back in the 80's must have thought that it was a piece of crap. I feel for that person.

rf The worst car was a nissan b 210. I bumped my bother-in-laws LTD and my right front quarter panel fell off. The only good thing about the car aws that it was stick and you could push start it. Which I did alot

Hands down has to be the '88 taurus 3.8. The heater core went bad about 5 min. after I drove it off the used car lot! It drank gas like it was going out of style!
I found out that they were notorious for the trannys going bad so I sold before that happened. Then, about 6 weeks after I sold it, the tranny went out on the poor guy.

Default Re: What's the worst car you've ever owned?

I'm amending mine to be my 1998 Mustang Cobra that i recently got rid of.
In the first year, things were "ok (relative term)" but at about 80,000 miles it fell apart. i bought it with 69,000 miles
Problems:
It had previously blown the engine (had a reman)
popped out of 4th gear, apparently only fix (Technical Service Bulletin) is to replace the main shaft.....so yeah, needed a new T-45
Front brakes warped immediately and brakes squeeled (ford pads) even though there was TONS left (about 8mm when it started)
Check engine light; purge valve was faulty, had a bank 1 lean code and O2 sensor code, the catalytic converter(s) plugged shortly after check engine light came on. - So yeah, it just made noise at full throttle and didn't go anywhere.
The idle air control valve started to stick
Throwout bearing went bad on new clutch installed right before i bought it (when it had blown the engine). Bought a ford replacement clutch kit.....new throwout bearing made noise after a week and began failing(ford bearing).
I weight 160 pounds and sit gingerly but the side bolster and leather still wore out
The factory CD player failed......new factory CD player failed after a month so i gave up
The air conditioning system developed a leak, so no A/C

....I know there's other stuff that pissed me off as well but i don't remember EVERY problem with this pile.
Also, i lost tons of money on getting rid of this thing because i had to go to school and this thing was UNDRIVABLE.

For reference i drove my 1987 Jeep Cherokee with 252,000 miles down here (I moved to Tucson, Arizona to go to U of A) and all it's needed in 6 years was a new belt, hoses, tune up, trans service.....yeah, maintenence and that's it.

I'm never buying another mustang cobra again (it was a 1998)

My first car was a 1979 AMC Concord. It had a straight 6 with a 4 speed manual. It was white with a red landaugh top. UGLY!

1983 Buick Regal T-type, turbo, carbed . 3.8 liter.

Complete piece of shit! The car had great looks and rode well, and the interior was nice, but the drivetrain was the biggest GM abortion ever! After 2 motors, 1 turbo and a couple trannies, i swapped it out for a 350 chevy and turbo 350. It was still unreliable, started having all kinds of electrical problems and it would die on me for no reason whenever it felt like it.

That was the car that made me swear off GM FOREVER!
