    My brother-in-law loved his. He's sold now though, and bought an Alfa.

    A real glutton for punishment then...;)

    At least thats cheap open top motoring, this has to be the worst car on the road:

    My mother calls them a variant on a Dolphin with learning difficulties though not as PC

    Worst I drove recently was a 1.6 Astra, with 3000 miles on the clock from a rental company.
    Fuel gauge- didn't work much
    Lights- switched on and off randomly
    Engine- would intermittantly cut out for 1/2 hr or so fairly frequently.

    Only had it for a short time, thankfully!

    Personal hate is X5. Ugly, usually not driven well, and seem to like inhabiting the road in front of me while swerving from side to side as the woman driving tries to apply makeup!

    At £425/year in road tax the PT Cruiser convertible is anything but cheap. The Fiat Multipla might be ugly, but it's basically a practical van-based car that's faster and cheaper to tax, insure and run than the PT.

    Hardly a fair representation of a well kept example then. Plus with all of those problems rather than moaning about them after the event it'd have been swiftly returned to the rental company :rotfl:

    Sums up everything that is wrong with American cars.

    It was- after a couple of days! I know, hardly a fair rep though.

    Another dislike of mine is the Subaru Legacy's- very ugly.

    I suppose we should be glad you couldn't get a Pontiac Aztek over here. I think that pic is from a newer one after they had made some improvements!
