By no means the worst manufacture, but certainly got to deserve a mention for the worst car to work on....


W168 A-Class.

Lancia the only cars with more rust than minis =]


You cant honetly say there terrible. There brilliant cars no matter how rusty. Won the world rally championship 10 times. And according to top gear made the first production car with an electric spoiler and made the first production car with a turbo and a supercharger on the same engine. Theyve also built iconic cars like the Stratos, Fulvia, Thema, Intergrale and the Montecarlo. Maybe i'm a little biased as my Dad did have an Intergrale and a Montecarlo but they were brilliant

Im so glad so many of you agree that Renault are crap. Its almost like they have been designed as a example of how Not to do things!

What apart from their 5* Safety ratings across the range, and one of the best hot hatches of all time, infact all of the Renault Sport range is absolutely brilliant.

The Twingo 133, Clio 172/182, Clio 200, Megane 225. They handle great and they go like the nuts.

I'll just leave this here:

They were brilliant cars. And Lancia making them were just mental. Putting a supercharger and a turbo on the same car just because it sounded like a good idea. And making the accelerator the biggest pedal.

I can imagine the Italians doing that, but not the sencible Germans. Good name for it though.

Ford are awesome cars now, have improved a lot!

My 2006 Fiesta TDCI van has done nearly 4000 miles in 3 months without a problem, no knocks or noises drives like a dream!
