I live in America ... land of the loafer. [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Haven't driven any Rovers ... but maaaaan ... plenty of very akward vehicles. Everything from beat up old Crown Victorias, to Toyota Avalons. Worst was an old 55 Willys. No power steering, brakes, no hydraulic clutch ... Small Block V8 with Muncie 4 speed and sloppy tall shifter ... all in a VERY short wheelbase Jeep monstrosity. Great off-road capability but on road it was a disaster! You thanked god every time it came to a complete stop with its four wheel drum brakes from 1955. Insane ...
Cheers,
Adrian W

Gotta be my friend's Ford Escort.
I had done nearly 200,000 miles and I'm not sure it had been serviced properly in about three years! Shocks must have gone long before!
It failed the MOT a week later and was consigned to scrapheap heaven for ever more. Bless [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Nissan Micra. Brand new. You don't need any more details.

TVR 400SE.
It really was everything bad you have ever heard about the marque rolled up into one hateful, unreliable, dangerous little package. It has coloured my view of TVR ever since.
4,000 miles in 18 months. Not for want of trying, either. AVOID [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

Ford Sierra 2l Ghia Automatic. I was unfortunate enough to have to drive this object for five months whilst I was awaiting delivery of my company car (Rover 216GSi).

Citroen Saxo 1.1 no power steering, cheap and flimsy.
Seem quite popular though, think this is down to the free years insurance.

Im sure i heard that the lotus esprit turbo was a great fast car (for the money and its age), very quick round the top gear track as well.

Fiat Uno. I'm sure it was a "Fire" model or something like that, which was fairly ironic as that's what should really have happened to it [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Rover 820 Vitesse [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
Torque steer like you wouldn't believe and it drank more oil than it did petrol, and it was pretty thirsty on the fuel front. Dangerous to drive and bits kept falling off.
Totally and utterly CRAP !!

Rover 75 2.0 automatic.
Worst automatic gearbox I have ever experienced and handling to match.

Rover 25 (or 214 or whatever).... the pinnacle of crapness.

There are worse cars out there than that - try driving an old rover metro or maestro or montego.
