I'd rather have a paedophile in the family than one of these.

100% NASTY.
 
1.1 P reg absolute poverty spec Corsa with over 100K on the clock a shot clutch, knackered breaks and a drivers door that rattled continuously.

Confession time - my dad bought one :eek: :( In 2.0 base spec guise. In flat, non-metallic red.

Utterly hateful - the 2004 Legacy which he replaced had a much, much, much nicer interior. The single piece cheapo plastic doorcards in the back of the current Impreza are amongst the cheapest looking things I've ever seen on a car. The dashboard quality and design is a complete step back from the Legacy - I'd go as far to say the dashboard in my mums Fiat Panda is better made. He got a bit upset when I told him I'd rather have has old car!

What I don't understand is my dad buying one a day after driving a brand new 320d M Sport - yeah its not the pinnacle of the 3 series range (LOL 4 POT DISEASEL) but inside and out its still a quality car. The Impreza is nastier inside than a Ford Focus, so you can imagine how much better the BMW is.
 
Went to the states in september we rented a 12 seater Ford E Series Van / Minibus....

Was nice forcing smaller cars out of the way but other than that it was a total POS to drive.

Edit: Just noticed we didn't even have the quality mirrors :(

i had a Dodge Calibre for a day in june, really nasty and the cvt box meant just keeping a constant speed on the motorway was real chore :(
 
Ford Fusion.

Horrible, gear change was dire.

Only enjoyable part was scratching it down narrow Spanish streets.
 
Corsa 1.2 hire car around SW France for a week. Fairly comfortable place to be, but utterly, utterly gutless. Overtaking anything quicker than a tractor was not an option :(
 
pug 306 diesel estate...although if you want driven on the roads, then my old car, pug 205 xr.

(Yes I do realise I put my car in both best and worst car I've driven :D)

(not ours in the picture above, but its probably equally crap)


Words can not describe how crap those Katos are.

The make **** look like something polished all ready.

Its got the old machanical controls that are set too far forward so when you try stretch the arm out you have to be right on the edge of the seat pushing forward while putting your feet past the foot rest bars and on the lower windscreen.
If you shut the door your knuckles will always hit the door and you wont be able to turn around propperly.
Its got crap visibility, it feels like you are sitting in a tin can with a small little peep hole to look out the front.
When the sun shines the temperature sky rockets and swear drips off of you.
Its got more rust then the titanic!
It rattles and bangs and loses half the load when you move around in it because of all the banging and rattling.
It had a fuel line that had a blockage that made it lose power and stall near the end of using it.
One of its Hydrolic rams has a cracked seal/weild and it just ****s hydrolic oil out and you can only smell the chemical sent of hydrolic oil when you are using it and you come home looking like you were laying in a greese pit.

I could go on for ever:D:p:(
