no

well you can add my first car 84 rx-7 to that list ... fucking piece of shit rotary engines :)

i sold it after the rotary whatever the fucks you call em (not pistons) took a shit twice. (bought a rebuilt after 1st went)

hrm, i'd have to disagree a little bit about the s10's. granted the 4.3 is an infinitely better motor, but the 2.8's gm were using during the mid 80's were alright. my first car was an 86 celebrity, and i tried _so hard_ to make that car just plain not work anymore, and it wouldn't. it ran with oil, without oil, everything. i even went for about a year without even opening the hood.. and over 13,000 miles without changing the oil.

it wasn't the _best_ running car with the most power, but it always started, and it at least ran. the exterior looked like shit (from hitting it with things and rust), but the interior was perfect.

pretty much the same i've seen with the blazers from auto shops and friends, the 2.8 always ran pretty good.

hehe, pimp! :thumbsup

I actually currently own a '84 Oldsmobile Delta 88, I think its a great car, have had it over a year and it has not been to the shop once!!! Just little minor stuff I could do myself. The wife drives it 60-100 miles/day 5 days a week going to work and back, you couldnt ask for a more dependable vehicle, and what's more I only paid 450$ for it, seriously :)

But I guess this article is reffering to the 4-6-8 and diesel engines. Mine is just a 307 (5.0) V-8.

Maybe it was OK in the Celebrity and smaller cars but in a 4 wheel drive Blazer it was pathetically underpowered, and the oil pump issue was definately a problem. Even our local GM dealer was happy to say good riddance to that motor in the Blazers.

My parents actually got better gas mileage with a newer 4.3 then they did with their old 2.8 Blazer.

Just thought of another bad car. The 1980's Cadillac Eldorado with the 4.1 L V8. They actually made a 4000 pound car with a V8 that only had 130 horsepower. What the hell were they thinking? Unfortunately I used to own one.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh That was the first car of one of my friend . Sooooo crappy . he sold it to somebody else that sold it etc. I still see it running arround the city.

There is no such thing as a bad AMC vechile. I restored a pacer a long time ago - then sold it. It was a great car but it took alot of work to repair all the rust. They rusted like hell.

I had a Pontiac Fiero, perfect car for me since I am only 4ft 9 :) Hard on alternator belts though

I'm shocked that I haven't had one on the list.
I have had an Omni though, that little thing just wouldn't die.

Fiat Spider should be up there. That damn thing would die ALL the time. Nothing like pushing a car through all the intersections all the way back from the beach on a hot weekend because first gear went out and it's geared too high to start out in second gear... but when it was working it was a super fun little car!

50 bad bad bad cars

sad to say my parents made me ride in a pinto a comet and a gremlin before they got smart and starting buying cadilacs and new yorkers.

Caddy are the pimpest shit ever :) I like the new roadster . Dream car

A lot of Volkswagen are pieces of shit.


I owned a couple...

In North America at least, no car could have beat the Fiero for being the worst flawed from design through construction. I mean come on, the engines used to catch on fire and they were so badly designed they had to run with a quart less oil then they required because of no room in oil pan...

Good thing they didn't list a Ford Escort.. My 92 LX wagon can kick your Ferrarri's ass... In gas milage.
