What's the worst car you've actually driven yourself? Has any car ever seriously let you down at some point? It can anything you disliked, maybe some clapped-out old banger or some hideously ugly new car or something inferior from one of the lesser car companies (usually based in South East Asia).

I can't really think of anything too horrible, although I have driven quite few a crappy little cars, some that come to mind are the Seat Arosa and a 1990s Toyota Starlet. I once drove an old Peugeot 205 but I can't really remember what that was like. I don't have the heart to say my old Renault Clio because although it wasn't much it was still pretty reliable, although at one point I was hardly using it and the battery kept going flat maybe because it had an immobiliser and burglar alarm fitted outside the factory. I guess I'll go for the Starlet. Actually before I bought my Clio I tried a Mk5 Ford Escort (early 90s), and that was pretty nasty so I didn't buy it. Amusingly one of the hubcaps came off when I was leaving the driveway of the fool who was selling it.
