Whats The Best/Worst Car You've Owned? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

jasonbigley · 01-03-2012, 07:11 PM

I have never owned a car, so I will go with what my mom owned.
Best Car==> The 2009 Dodge Chrysler she has now. Its durable with 4 wheel drive and she does not seem to have trouble with it.
Worst Car==> The 1983 Chevrolet Celebrity she had when I was little. That thing was pure junk!

The best car I ever owned is my current one- a 2002 Ford Focus. 10 years later, it is still running like brand new!

The worst car I ever owned, sadly, was my first one- a 1973 Chevy Monte Carlo. It kept stalling, overheating, and finally, the frame went on it! It looked classic, but was actually a piece of garbage.

I had 2 best cars, 1969 hemi charger, 1968 Roadrunner

worst car, 1963 chevy belaire

The first car I ever owned was a 1972 Ford Mustang. I paid cash for it myself. It was five years old, and gave me a lot of headaches, from day one. It was a sharp looking car, so it was stolen about five times. I had to get rid of it because they were beating it over and over. Still, lots of good memories with that hunk of junk, lol. Good times.

Best was a 86 Monte Carlo and the worst was a 82 Chevette.

We have had a lot of good cars (Mostly GM) but the worst by far was a 1975 Volkswagon Rabbit. It would stall every time that I hit a puddle of water. We got rid of it very quickly. But to be fair that was the first model year of the Rabbit and they say never buy a new car the first year that it comes out because most new models have flaws. I hated that car!

We now have a 2010 Ford Focus (Our first Ford) and we love it! Great gas mileage. 40+ per gallon.

We also have a '01 Chevy Suburban. It's nice but a gas hog!

My 2002 Focus has great gas mileage, too. They are very economical. I have had mine for almost 10 years. I may get another one for my next vehicle.

Best was my Honda CRX. Loved that little car. Had to get rid of it when I got pregnant with my first daughter because it didnt have a back seat.

Worst was the Ford Contour I had. Air conditioner didnt work. Heater was crappy. When I got gas I had to pry open the little door with a screw driver.

MickeyMac · 01-04-2012, 06:47 PM

Best car is my Ford Tauras which I am driving now. Have had so few issues with it.

Worst was a 1979 Ford Granada, bought it under pressure from my mother because her father had one (not the same year). Everything was wrong with it.

Brad Russ · 01-06-2012, 11:40 AM

My Bobby Rahal Hot Wheel. Either that, or my Corvette Micro Machine. I've never owned a real car.

Steve M. · 01-06-2012, 12:38 PM

My worst car was an old Chevy, my best may be the 2012 VW Golf I just bought.

Best:
A tie between my former '66 Dodge Dart GT V-8 and current '69 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

Don't really have a "worst" but a Cadillac I used to own (a '71 Fleetwood Brougham) had some work done on it which my other Cadillacs never required.

You've been lucky with cars, I see.

mystery_daisy · 02-19-2012, 10:45 PM

All my cars have been good, so I've been lucky.
My mother however bought her first NEW car back in 1980 -A Dodge 024 or & it was a lemon from day one. Always mechanical issues with that one. Imagine always driving older cars and finally getting a new one and it being the worst of all and most issues after the warranty was expired.

I remember the 024, it was an Omni-based sport coupe. Chrysler-Plymouth dealers sold it as the Plymouth TC3 (Touring Coupe with 3 doors, including the hatch). I don't know what 024 meant - maybe 0 to add an extra digit, 2 for the passenger doors, and 4 for the seating capacity?

The 024 was renamed the Charger and the TC3 was renamed the Turismo. The Dodge Shelby Charger is the car to have from that generation.
