AWW poor Allegro and Marina Had both and other than clutch on my old Marina I used to love itWiered how Austin Aggravation got such bad press when Minis were super lovedMy worst car and ill never forget it was a toss up between a Princess which dropped the exhaust manifold gasket every tankfull and a Rover SDI which I waited 9 months for back in the day only to find everything that could go wrong did even when its fixed along with Glitches that make our QQ look like saintsBest car ever owned (and ive had new Jags and Audis) has to be a 2.3 mark 4 cortina, that was simply fast reliable I gave it to my son in law who had it up until 2 years ago and he sold it for 2K less than I paid for it

I've never had a really bad car! One of the best was a mk 1 Fiesta which I bought for £150 from an old neighbour who'd looked after it, I ran it for 3 years without incident and sold it for £275. Now that's cheap motoring.

Renault Fuego in the mid 80's. Everything that could fall off did so. I vowed never to buy Renault again. Whoops!

without a doubt the Peugeot 307 estate i had as a company car. Compared to the 405 and the 306 i had previous to it, it was pants - even the foam in the seat degraded so after three years there was no padding left in there and the covers were baggy, not to mention the quickest way of getting back ache!!
