Worst Cars Of All Time
We recently came across the results of an interesting survey naming the top 10 worst cars of all time. The list was compiled by visitors to Car Talk, an online web site (www.cartalk.cars. com).
Here's how the list came out, with selected comments from disgruntled owners:
1. Yugo - "The Yugo's first stop after the showroom was usually the service department."
2. Chevy Vega û "My Vega actually broke in half going over railroad tracks."
3. Ford Pinto û "This car would do 75 mph in 2nd gear. In 4th gear, the top speed was 70 mph. What's wrong with this picture?"
4. AMC Gremlin û "This car had all the quality of a cheap garden tractor."
5. Chevy Chevette û "It had a plywood floor and printed circuit æwiring'. No redeeming qualities."
6. Renault LeCar û "Our LeCar couldn't climb a hill fully loaded, so the passengers had to get out and walk up."
7. Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare û "I noticed rust on my Aspen the day I got it home from the showroom."
"Yugos were junk but at least they were cheap. This heap had a Caddy pricetag."
9. Renault Dauphine û "A side impact with a bicycle totaled my Dauphine after only one year."
10. VW Bus û "It had no heat, blew around in the wind, and the driver's legs were the first line of defense in an accident."
