The Ford Festiva, Renault 5, Geo Metro and especially the Yugo are all shitboxes and don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the other cars you've listed. I vote for the Pacer.

I do not see why the Renault 5 would be listed with the Festiva/Metro/Yugo :tongue:
It was a good car for its category. I think that its only major default is that it rusted so quickly (well, for the first model), but that was the same for all cars of that era.

Alright, but you can't say the Yugo isn't a shitbox.

I don't know if they've been known to be "junk". When I was a toddler my mom had a Mercury Topaz and it was a good car. That automatic seatbelt entertained me a bit. :grin: It's just that I once accidentally spilled a 1 gallon bottle of water all over the back seat. :tongue: You'll have to vote for the Festiva.

I once had a toyota that had an automatic seatbelt. I was tinkering with the lights one day and just reached in the drivers window to turn on the ignition. Damn seatbelt nearly took my head off. :lol:

It was split into two pieces. The lap belt was a conventional seatbelt you had to put on yourself, but the belt that went across your chest was connected to a motorized attachment that went around the window frame. I had them on my old Escort, and even if they didn't make much sense, they were kinda cool, in a gimmicky kinda way.

Oh, I voted for the Geo Metro. I'm certain they had a mildly sporty version which was fairly well regarded (I'm certain the Suzuki Swift had one so that's close enough).

And a convertible too. :wink: Probably was one of the cheapest ones around.

GMs had automatic seatbelts too. The problem was they were not motorized and people thought it was a regular seatbelt. You know those cars with the seatbelts mounted on the doors? Well, they're suppose to be buckled in all the time so when you open the door, you just slide in and shut the door. It's very awkward. If the door popped open in and accident, you're pretty much screwed.

Yes it rusts fast, but that's like many of cars of the 70s.
