No mention of the Chevy Nova with the four-banger (I always assumed that it meant 4 micepower, not four cylinder) and the ever-so-smooth 2-speed(!) tranny? Worst car I ever drove, inherited from my sister because it was too gross even for her. Floored, it might get to 85 MPH downhill, which was terrifying considering that braking was an afterthought and handling non-existent. Most of the ‘worst cars’ others have mentioned had at least one saving grace...but that early Chevy Nova was lacking any positive attributes at all.
You talking about the Chevy Nova that became the Geo Spectrum?
Couldn't have been too bad as it was basically a rebadged Toyota Tercel. I had an 81 Tercel which was a different car than it was 86-88 but I did drive a friends 86 Nova and I didn't think it was that bad.
