As per title, curious to see what people have to say. For me the best was my E46 M3, just a good all round car. The worst was an Opel Calibra, total unreliable shitebox!

While everything I've owned had its bad points I wouldn't say I've ever had a 'bad' car.

The best '62 E Type Jaguar - always a pleasure to drive
The worst - Ford Telstar TX5 Ghia - about 6 years old when we had it, and anything that could possibly break or malfunction did.

best was a '73 MazdaRX3 coupe, 'coz it helped with gettin' hot chicks! (this was back in the '70's too btw) Worst was a '93 Range Rover Vogue, only car to ever 'blow up' on me, i.e. melt a piston during normal driving. Had a few rotaries during the '70's & '80's and neary a problem wi' 'em.

Best, GTR XU1 Torana. More driving enjoyment in that thing than any other car I ever owned. Best of all it was in the mid to late 80s where country roads were not frequented by people trying to issue tickets.;
Worst, 1995 Radisich Telstar. Not a single good thing to say about the POS. Oil burning from day one, power curve that could best be described as boring, shocking ride quality. I could go on but even thinking about it again makes me dry reach.

Best - 89 Fiat Uno Turbo. Bought it for 3.5k from the original owner, and it was a hoot. Was in near mint condition and embarrassed many modern cars.I have MAJOR sellers regret over that one:(
Worst - 03 Evo 8. Nice car to drive, but attracted negative attention like nothing else. Was broken into 2 weeks after I got it, then cost $6k to fix issues after 1 year of ownership, and the week I got that done some pillock keyed the bonnet. Good riddance.

Best (but not my favourite) is my wife's 1999 Honda Orthia S.Had it for around 4 years now and never had a single problem with it.Drives nicely, looks good, uses very little fuel, has heaps of space.
Worst was a 1996 RAV4.Nothing technically wrong with it but they are uncomfortable and noisey.

Best - 2000 E55 AMG. Speaks for itself. Worst - 98 Escort 1.8 wagon. Got it as a hack for the dogs, but such a dull, boring vehicle. But served its purpose as basic A to B transport, so can't complain really.

Worst: Late 1980's VW Rabbit (Golf) cabriolet convertible. A real "Harbour Bridge Paintjob" car- you started fixing stuff at one end, by the time you'd got through all the busted stuff at the other end, the front where you'd started was knackered again and needed the same work as before. Ugh. PickAPart was too good for it.
Best: 1998 Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex Twin-Turbo Navi-Edition, in black with black leather. So far ahead of it's time (my first one was a '97, the year they came out) and like driving a gentleman's club with handling, so many toys and comfort gadgets, yet excellent performance and ride. Should NEVER have sold it.

Worst car 2005 Peugeot 307 Wagon. Had it as a rental around Europe, the car was brand new and in 6 weeks when I returned it the list of faults was enormous. Best Car is my 1927 Austin 7 Fabric body. Just a real classic car going everywhere at 25 mph.

Worst, 1982 Accord, was an economical smooth and refined drive but the speed the thing rusted was scandalous, the engine would still be bouncing down the road after the body had completely dissolved Best, any of my Falcons, XF sedan and ute, EF wagon and EF Fairmont sedan, large, comfortable, easy to fix and get spares, tow anything, pass anything, good economy forsize.

Worst - slime green Vauxhall Viva HC. It had been reliable for the previous owners but it wasn't for us. I did a lot of work on it and was still shite.

I agree about the Honda Accord, my parents purchased one brand new in 1982, by 1986 the car leaked and had to have the carpet removed, by 1988 it was at the scrap yard due to rust problems, (car lived near the beach in Greymouth)

2nd that, my wife's one was exactly the same although it was a 1979. Those bloody roof seams
Best, MX5 or S2k, both fun but in very different ways.

Yep, some 80's era Honda models had some rust issues. It was even worse in regions that salted the roads in winter.
