The worst cars in the world
Content
If you ask an American who is the most authoritative automotive publication in his home country, chances are high that he will answer: Car & Driver. The legendary magazine recently celebrated its 55th anniversary and has selected 32 of the best cars ever tested by its authors. And in order not to leave the work unfinished, the authors of C / D have finally selected the worst cars they have encountered since 1955.
They are not ranked, but located in this simple table with five critical areas: questionable safety, bad handling, disgusting appearance, too weak, or poor workmanship. Some models manage to fall into two, three, or, in one particular case, all five negative categories.
It is also noteworthy that Americans are not at all keen on trying to sell them the European compact models: the Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus, which the group tried to sell in the United States at the beginning of the last decade. Then there is the Alfa Guiglia Quadrifoglio, which fell in love with the magazine's staff, but which created countless problems for them for only 60 kilometers.
The Fiat 500L, produced in Serbia, is among the models with the worst handling and the weakest engines.
American journalists also frowned upon popular Japanese SUVs of the past, such as the Mitsubishi Pajero and Suzuki Samurai / Vitara.
