    Default Worst car maker ever?

    as the title suggests, who do YOU think is the worst?

    I think its Alfa Romeo for 3 reasons.

    1. Pedals are WAAY to close together.

    2. All old ones and some newer one are the biggest Sl*t's to wheel align.

    3. They dont seem to be very reliable cars as a few people i know have them and they've had nothing but problems
    We got rep back, yaaay!

    honda integra, not due to the fact that their un reliable or anything, im just sick of little boys driving them crazy with neons, clear lights, big bore, hard core type R stickers, race spec automatic and of course a bodykit that makes it have 4X the factory surface area

    apart from that their not to bad lol

    Fiats are bad as you have to have weight in the car to do it properly. I think the Ford Galaxy LTD is the worse car I have ever aligned, the top control arms are on slots and you can only adjust them with it jacked up. The pedals are close because they are designed for racing shoes not work boots lol.

    Lada and Leyland. I hate the P76 and the Sumatra.

    I always thought Alfa Romeo and Jag were in competition for many years to make the most unreliable cars in the world. Both have made some of the most *magnificent* body shapes ever to grace the roads. Pitty most were broken down on the sides.

    As others have mentioned, the soviet Lada's would have to go close to being the all round worst cars ever produced.

    i would have to also agree with fiat making POS's but as i have had less experince with them i didn't rate them as the worst

    my grannys have a kia mentor. it has been reliable but the build quality seems very rough. very plasticy and tacky. but like i said... it has been reliable.

    there is also a people mover whose name escapes me, terrible looking thing. one of those random Korean builds i think...

    Proton - Don't get me started, Malaysian car manufacturer... Bleh...

    Every Charade should be forcibly taken from the road and crushed to made into dog food cans..

    I think anything made in Korea rates pretty high, simply because these cars are built to a price, rather than a standard.
    I know there are a fair few people who will say hyundai aren't so bad now, but they're still cheap imported s**t. end of story.
    aren't the Fiat 126 and FSM niki the exact same car, built in different sheds? I thought they were

    at the top of the list dihatsu, followed by kia, suzuki, daewoo, hyundai

    there are plenty of better alternatives to a cheap new car and those certainly shouldent be one of them
