The best were all the rest.

1986.5 Nissan Hardbody SE-V6 (great ride and missed)
1988 VW Jetta GLI 16v (great ride but my ex-wife got it).
1994 Nissan Hardbody SE-V6 (Very great, but needed more room).
2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SE-V6 (Awesome and I still have it with 75k).
2001 Land Rover Discovery SE-7 (only 61k on it and too new to hate).
2008 MINI Clubman S w/JCW Tuning Kit. (awesome).

After reading these posts (yes there's alot of nightmares) but nothing like a Land Rover.... When it ran, it ran great. When something went wrong it was like a drain. IE: thermostat sticks runs a little hot (not overheat) then radiator pops, waterpump leaks, heater core then after repairing all cooling system possibilities - tech says "you might keep an eye on temp gauge closely you might need cylinder liners". WTF?

Land Rover slogan - "If it ain't leaking, it's empty"

Worst Car

The worst vehicle I ever owned was a 1989 Dodge Van. From the very beginning it never ran smoothly and after 4 years the wheel wells rusted out due to poor steel and construction design.

However, the most expensive car to repair was definitely my 02 Audi A4. OMG - when you took this car in for repairs (frequently) I could not leave the dealership for less than $1,000. After the fifth $1,000 contribution it was time to say goodbye . Now when I see someone on the road driving an A4 I just smile and respond to myself "I sure do hope they make a lot of money".

The worst car I've ever owned is the one I'm driving now....2005 Honda Accord V6. I've never had so many problems with a car in my life. It only has 97k miles on it, you would think for a Honda it is just getting broken in, but its just broken. All the repairs that need to be done for this car are in the multiple thousand dollar range. The car isn't even worth what the the repairs will cost.

Anyway, I regret trading in my MINI a few years ago and I'm now looking for another but a Clubman this time.

Anybody wanna buy a Honda Accord? LOL!

My first car was my worst car. I owned a 1990 Geo Metro, four door. Gotta love that 3 cylinder engine. Okay not really. Going up any hill, that car would max out at like 45. Going over 55 and it would shake almost uncontrollably. I'm glad I never got to test the crash worthiness because I'm sure hitting a small rodent probably would have totalled that thing. It finally died when I blew a timing belt driving up a hill.

My father had purchased a Vega for my Mom. We had, if I remember correctly, a rod go through the aluminum block two days before Christmas. Not a happy holiday memory in our household. Dad was a motor head with a 68 Roadrunner, so owning a Vega was not a thrill.
