Worst Car You Ever Owned
Whats the worst car you've ever owned Question

Mine was a Talbot Horizon in a sort of faded orange colour, proudly got dressed up and took the parents out for Sunday Dinner. Halfway up their road the front wheel snapped off. Remeber getting the local scappy to come and get it, loaded it on a lorry outside my parents house much to their shame and horror Rolling with laughter Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

Hey Pom I'd get that DSG looked at as the VAG DSG is pretty much the auto box to have all our vans have them and they are faultless

its a design fault in them, they tried sorting it and cant. Can duplicate it everytime.

For example on a dual carriageway approach a roundabout from around 80ish, heavy on the breaks down to 30ish then check what gear it puts you in floor it and nothing happens.

Another ex Marina owner here - my first car.

1973, beige, 1.3 litre engine yet it STILL spun it's tyres all too often. The only redeeming feature was a big back seat and the odd comment from old people (it was in almost new condition). Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.
