Yes, it's a slideshow, but it doesn't have a bunch of fricking popups

Shitton of Chrysler/Dodge entrants. Can't really argue too much with this list. Thankfully, never owned any of them.

Chrylser products: 6
GM products: 9
Ford Products: 3 (included the Jaguar bc I thought they were owned by Ford at the time)

Toyota products: 2

Honda Products: 1

Suzuki had a surprisingly high number of entrants to the list. Let's also remember the GEO metro was a joint venture w GM.

So I guess this is just an American slide show that doesn’t include cars that weren’t sold here?

Because there have been plenty of shitty cars made across the pond that weren’t really sold in America.

I had a 2002 Chrysler Sebring which was a total piece of shite. It consistently leaked antifreeze and no one could ever find out why. The model also had a chronic problem of the water pump failing around 80k. The worst part of this is that the water pump was located INSIDE the crankcase so when this happened, antifreeze leaked inside the oil pan which could cause you to throw a rod when it happened. Even if you were lucky enough to catch it in time, the replacement of the water pump required the whole engine to be taken apart which was a $2200 repair. Mine failed twice in about 18 months and I sold the hunk of shite.

I’ll never by Chrysler again.

List was kind. They left off some really bad cars especially from the 1980's and early 90's.

Surprised that the exploding Ford Pinto, Ford EXP and Dodge Dynasty was left off of the list.

The Yugo is the worst car of the last 30 years, I do agree with much of the list.

25. 1997 GM EV-1 Kudos to GM for producing this odd little electric car when they had no real incentive to, but the weak (but low drag coefficient) styling, low range of about 80 miles, and lease-only option may have seriously damaged the public’s perception of electric cars for years. It’s now a super rare car since GM gathered almost all of them up in 2002, when they stopped the program and had the EV1s unceremoniously crushed.


What?

What defines "worst"? Like "will blow up and you will die" or "look like shite" or "stays broken down"?

1989 Geo Metro


Had a GF from Brusly in HS that had a green one. We rarely drove her car into BR. When we did I would have to floor it on HWY1 and it would barely make it to the top of the bridge. We didn't take her car many places. I think it had a 3 cylinder engine that made about 40HP
Man, her dad really didn't like me but her mom loved me.

All the Mitsubishi designed engines had the water pump driven by the timing belt.
So off the water pump seized, your engine likely blew.
I had a friend with a 3000gt and I had a real Montero and we both had that issue. Then started noticing people with Chyslers having that issue. Looked it up and found Daimler sourced engines out to Mitsubishi for Chrysler.

1995 Suzuki X-90


While the Suzuki XC90 was an all out hideous car. The engine in it was bulletproof. The driveline was also bulletproof. It had a transfer case. 4wd. And a true low range.

1996 Pontiac Grand Am


These cars were hit or miss. A buddy of mine had one of these in high school. It was a TANK. He crossed one of the crawfish ponds in plaquemine on the Belleview doing 100+. Used to jump the tracks. And actually was a fairly good street racing sleeper

1989 Geo Metro


I want to hate this car. I really do. But suzuki's line of 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, and 2.3 engines were works of art.

That shotty 1980s car can be made to give 60mpg with nothing more than a full exhaust system. They'll still give you 50 stock.
