What is the WORST car you ever bought?

Saigon · 09-26-2008, 01:34 AM

worst car: 1997 Gas guzzler Acura TL 2.5 it was so loud and the wind noise was ridiculous, engine overheated and broke down after a 80 mile drive w/ 108k miles on it. Best car: 1998 Honda Accord I4, smooth and comfy, and very reliable DD

Is there an E93 323i

Icedog_16 · 09-26-2008, 11:18 AM

1984 Honda Accord - by FAR the worst car I've ever owned. Two clutches, a new carb, and umpteen CV joints.

Mike_305 · 09-26-2008, 12:42 PM

2003 G35 sedan

jeveryday · 09-26-2008, 01:37 PM

My worst was a motorcycle. 1997 ZX-7R had tons of problems

My worst car would probably be a '91 mustang but it runs (and always had) beautifully with 117K miles on it so

brocken · 09-26-2008, 02:21 PM

1985 Ford Escort. It was also the first car I bought on my own. My dad had a really nice Ford pickup that I got to drive most of the time because he had a work van. Then one icy day I rolled the truck and had to buy a car...
90k miles on the clock when I bought the Escort. At 100k the distributor went out when i was on the way to work. After that I had nothing but problems with it.

The 2nd worst car would be a 2006 Nissan 350z. Nissan had to buy it back under the lemon law because the engine would consume 2 quarts of oil in 1k miles. It was even the week of my birthday when I discovered the massive oil problem.

If I finally keep a car for a long time I want it to be the 335. Hopefully it will turn out to be my best car.

My friend has an 08 335i, I'm not real sure where everyone is getting the turbo lag from, but his does nothing but haul a$$.

I have a few motorcycles on my list, but the worst and coolest was my 2001 Yamaha R6 Championship Edition. Nothing but electrical problems and transmission issues and clutch issues. OMG!

I also had a 91 Mustang, it was my first car. I did quite a bit of damage in the backseat with my ex-wife and the front seat and the drivers seat and the hood and the.....

She was quite the little slut, turns out she was quite the whore too, hence "ex-wife"

But my worst car as far as the one I didn't like driving was my 95 Toyota Tercel (This pic may actually be my car) I don't have a real pic of mine.

I've only had 3 cars, 02 Jetta, 05 S2000 and 08 Z4.

My currently Z4 has to be the worst car I've ever owned.
I've only had this car for 4 months and went to dealer 5 times already and i'm about to visit them once again due to CEL.

My Jetta and S2K NEVER EVER gave me a single problem. But my first bimmer is being PITA at fullest.

T Bone · 09-26-2008, 05:08 PM

Close between my first car, a 1984 Pontiac Fiero 2M4 or my old 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0l.

I would have to say the Jeep was the worst vehicle that I have ever owned....

Almost everything rusted
Electronics were a joke (horn malfunctions, rear wiper motor)
Brakes rusting and drum piston seizure (I was afraid to use the brakes for the longest time)

M3MIKE · 09-26-2008, 05:36 PM

I have two of the worst

1990 Dodge Daytona electrical problems

1996 Ford Mustang GT vert- rattle box in less than a year

I'm afraid to think about another American car

the worst car i've ever owned was a 2004 acura tsx. that stupid thing broke all the time. the interior trim fell off of just about everything. then, right after the warranty expired, everything major started going wrong like it was on cue. major a/c repairs were needed, that was several grand, then shortly after that, transmission went fritz, which was another $3500. i spent probably $10k for maintenance on that thing over the 3 years i owned it. coming a close second was my first car, a 1997 chevy s-10 regular cab. it was by far the most uncomfortable car i've owned. i'm a tall guy and the seats didn't move back enough to fit my legs. every time i'd hit a good bump, my knees would bang into the steering column. but that was then, i'll always own a bmw now. perfect for me! especially the e92 m3

You guys can knock Lexus all you want but they are in a completely different league when it comes to reliability and comfort.

Brakes don't rust as bad when you use them. The pads scrape the rust off. Maybe that was your problem.
