I owned a Pinto, the second worst car I ever owned, the worst being a AMC Gremlin. I also owned a Cavalier (so-so), Chevette (rolling crap) and presently own an Astro which is actually a nice vehicle that just needed to be updated occasionally.

I bought a brand new 1973 Pinto when I came back from overseas, and paid something like $1,950 for it (before taxes and license). I had two Pintos in my lifetime (the first one was wrecked a year after I bought it in a freak accident that had nothing at all to do with the car, and the second was ten years old when it gave up the ghost, though it had carried me halfway across the country and then some). Sure it was an inexpensive and very basic car, and it performed as such. I expected nothing more. All things considered, for a very basic and inexpensive car the Pinto performed as advertised. The Chevette, though, was absolute crap. So was the Gremlin.
