What car is so bad you would rather eat your own foot than drive? Give a reason why too if you can

As someone whose first venture into the car world from the motorcycling world entailed the purchase of a Reliant Robin ( with wall papered interior, done by my own fair hands ) I don’t really think I should pass comment in this thread.

I dont think there is a car i wouldnt own. I can see potential in any car, so no there isnt a car i wouldnt own.

Some of the worlds 'worst' cars can be a hoot. I remember a bloke autotesting in a Renault 4. Soft springy thing that leant for ever. I think he managed to get it on two wheels about a dozen times and on one it was so finely balanced it sat there a good 15 seconds before falling back to its wheels. I reckon if he had sat upright inside it would have been on its side.

The only cars I don't like are bland things used for everyday transport. I can handle bland cars being used to do interesting things but the idea of a 120 mile commute in a bland thing fills me with dread.
