OK, I'm not in a particularly good mood. So no Geo Metro jokes, eh?

the worst car in 2005 is any one driven in the Sunni Triangle

Is the Segway considered a car? Head on crash rating must suck!

The Ford Fairmont was a dog.

Best used car deal?
A late model Lincoln.
They are very expensive brand-new, but their resale value plummets right off the lot.
here's no market for them outside of the Florida retirement community.
So, you can pick up a used one, with hardly any miles on it, for a song.

I'm not entirely sure I believe these ratings. Consumer Reports sometimes comes up with some pretty odd results.

1987 and 1980 Ford Mustang 4 cyl.

Yugos....they tend to fly off of the Mackinac Bridge.

Pontiac Aztec - for being so damn ugly.

The Swimmer's Oldsmobile. It didn't float.

I always liked the 1961 Plymouth Valiant. Truly beautiful lines. With its 225 slant-6, it could run with the best of Goats and 442s!

Saturn VUE - got rid of it after 6 months cuz I hated it so much!

[JoJo Gunn]

As far as looks, I never would have thought someone wanted to surpass the ugly Aztek, but Honda has, with the Element.

In both cases, whoever approved them at the sketch stage should have been beaten to within an inch of their miserable lives.

The Chevrolet Corsica remains one of the most hideous creations by man.

[Arkinsaw]

I had a Jeep CJ-7. That *&%*%& thing drove me insane. Soon after I got it the rear axles stripped out. I had the dealership fix it. A few months later they stripped out again. I made the dealership fix it. The next time it happened I decided to do it myself due to the horrendous cost. So I did. Then they stripped out again. I just locked in the front hubs and sold it as is.

the chevy chevette was th e worst car of all times yugos are a monument to engineering expertise by comparison

[Vroomfondel]

From the slide show:

With a projected reliability rating that is 181% lower than that of the average car, Ford's Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicle is the least reliable car on the market, according to Consumer Reports.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't understand how something could be more than 100% less reliable than something else.

Volvos.... Box cars driven primarily by left wing trash!

I am 48 years old and proud to say have NEVER owned a car. A whole lot of pickups though. Foreign and domestic. Toyotas have always given me the longest service.
