Thread: What's the most UNreliable car you've owned.

^one of the best looking classics out there. This, the BMW2002 and Simon Templer's Volvo are among my favourites.

My worst was a 1977 Chevrolet Monza, bought it new (with my father as a co-signer) when I was 19. It broke down on the way home from the dealer because the alternator failed and the battery died. Got rid of it less than 2 years later by taking my father's old car when he bought a new one.

That thing leaked water, had a shimmy at 60 MPH and used oil from new. That was the last American car I ever bought, the rest were Japanese or German.

^ pic please.

A Freelander..........Nice looking cars but what a heap of shit under the bonnet. The electrics were dodgy as well.
Probably the worst motor ive ever had

when it was on song though, it was wonderful.

I loved the TR-7 although I'm too tall to fit in one. There is a cottage industry in America putting General Motors (Buick) 2.8 liter v-6 engines in them to replace the Trimph engine.

Agreed, they're a ticking time bomb with the head gasket also
