Haven't driven a load, but I've test-driven a Fiat Bravo (diesel). The sightlines were terrible, and it handled like a tractor.

1994 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme. Gutless and with that horrible 4 speed automatic gave my murderous thoughts. Oh and that god awful rear suspension.
1994 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme
Was it the 2 door or the 4 door model?
We had a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SL 2-door model with the 3.4L engine that GM developed with Lotus. That car was a ton of fun. Quick for the time, handled great, and parts were relatively cheap for it. Unfortunately, somebody totaled it when it was parked on the street one night. It was a bit of a pain in the butt to work on because the engine barely fit under the hood and it was a ton of work to replace parts like the alternator since the engine subframe had to be unbolted and lowered to provide access.
Oh it was the 4 door of a clown car.
03 Ford Focus. Terrible transmission, on board computer fried, all kinds of random engine and sensor issues. Finally found an honest mechanic that said it would cost more to fix everything wrong with it than to just take the L and get a new car. Took a loss on the loan and bought a Camry. Best decision I could’ve made. Nothing but Toyota since.
The only motor vehicle I've ever driven was a lawn mower tractor. It does its job but gets boring after a while.
I did a road trip in a Wrangler once, it's an awful car. slow, uncomfortable, loud, poor handling, fuel-hungry, needed to stop every 30 minutes to clean bugs off the windshield.
An old Kia Optima. It wasn't really horrible but it was so incredibly bland and boring in every measure.
I may have over simplified. In the UK, especially in Yorkshire, the roads are hilly and twisty. We mostly drive manual cars, so we can ride the engine instead of the brakes when descending long steep hills. The Grand voyager struggled, and while I could lock that slush box of an auto in lower gears, it was not happy about it.
Thats a little vague. Worst in what way? Most run down? Worst performing? Worst mileage? Worst cost overall? Oldest? Junkiest?
