Not a manufacturer but a certain car...

Those little Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo etc things

We failed a 2009 one on rotten brake pipes!

They'll be nothing left of them in a few years! I mean they don't even paint the inside of the bonnet, it's just primer!

My mates got a pug 107, apparently there ridiculously cheap on tax and insurance,but its a pug something will go wrong, i had 2 206's, injector and one and lets not go there with the other lol

That would be me sir! You can't tell me a Mk1 Escort Mexico RS 1600 is worth in excess of £16,000, they're just not!

depends on condition and how common are they? 2 years ago a friend spent over 10k euro getting his rotten mk1 restored and bubble arched and its an empty rolling shell so they are prity expensive all round. maybe if you said some people over rate them then i'd agree but they are still an iconic classic.

I do love the escorts, I just don't think they're worth what they sell for!

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


W168 A-Class.

You try doing an auxiliary belt & crank pully
I ended up dropping the engine when refitting mine

Changing the spark plugs is a ******* challenge...

I did it on my mates. Whilst you had yours did you do a Handbrake turn, he did today with me in the car, one of the scariest experiences of my life. It literally hopped

Yes I did & well let's just say the stability control system took over & scarred the crap out of me

Reverse donuts with the abs off is very fun though

Considering i work as an mot tester, doing around 45 mots a week, i wouldnt say theres a bad manufacturer, each manufacturer makes cars that are just crap, for example, ford ka's are terrible for rot, nissan navara's suspension falls apart, peugeots normally have play in the back axle bearings, corsa c's tend to favour broken rear springs.... Im finding it hard to decide on a worst car manufacturer, because the vast majority of them have one or two crap models, but brilliant other cars.
