Maybe the worse car ever made. That's the one where you have to remove the tire to change the battery right?

1. 2015 Lexus GX460 (current car - absolutely love it)
2. 1988 Jeep Cherokee (high school, great memories)
3. 2000 Honda Accord (would still be driving if it didn't get totaled)

I really want an old FJ40

Had that car and no matter how long the list, that car should always be last on the list.



Yep, it was a piece of junk. Vinyl interior. White paint that was peeling horribly. Smoked when you started it. But i was happy to have a car when i got my license so i wasn't picky.

Favorite: '94 Camaro Z28 or '03 Montero Sport.
'88 First Ranger is an honorable mention. Ugly as sin but reliable and fun to drive with the manual transmission.

Least: 2011 Chevy Traverse. AC and transmission problems all the time. Bought it for my wife and kept it just over a year before I said frick it and traded it for a Toyota Sequoia.

Yea, I had two Chevy Blazers before the 4 door, but I swear that one was a GMC. It was black with a fade to tan bottom.

I was in the same boat. I wish I had counted the number of times that thing left me stranded on side of road

That's kind of how mine was, but later model than yours. Either way was still the worst car I have ever driven. I honestly have never owned another Chevy just because of the hell that car put me through

May have been, but they called them Jimmies...

Remember at the time they had the full size and the S10..

A lot of this depends on what point in life you had said car.

1. 92 Mitsu eclipse (5 speed)- college years, kick arse sound system.
2. 16 Mazda 6 (6 speed) this is a bit of a throwback to classic Japanese cars, with the manual. I commute with this, very pleased.
3. 95.5 Tacoma 4wd(5 speed) - first tacoma model,manual hubs, pretty bitchin but it had a few "first year model" issues.
4. 19 Tacoma - no problems so far but jury is still out. Transmission is maddening--wish it was a stick.
5. 98 Mercedes C-Class - compelling but expensive. Wouldn't buy another Mercedes (or any German car) these days.
6. 99 F-150 (5 speed)
7. 87 ford ranger (5 speed) - first car, lost my virginity in it.
8. 05 F150 - blah. Just there. Wasn't a very nice model.
9. 12 Jetta TDI - for commuting. great in concept, horrible in execution. Dieselgate.
10. 03 Corolla (5 speed) - served as my commuter for 8 years and 200k miles bulletproof but life is too short.

I'm really struggling with the death of the manual transmission.

Favorite?

Hard to decide but I will go with 1976 Jeep CJ. Dog in passenger seat, top off, beer in hand. Impossible not to smile. (This was back when drinking and driving was not frowned upon like it is now).

Most hated?

1995 Mazda 626. A total POS. Everything broken on it all the time. I had no money to buy anything else.

I had an 1988 corolla and a 1999 Corolla. The '88's transmission went out at over 300k miles. I sold the '99 for 1k at ~350k miles and it went for a year or two more until the guy I sold it to quit checking the oil and burnt it up. Awesome cars.

To be fair Jimmy did look very similar to the Blazer.
