My best car was easily my Cavalier with a redtop conversion. I still regret getting rid of it for the Omega.
My worse was easily my first Nova. It blew 7 head gaskets and went through 3 engines :-?

best and worst cars?
my best and most reliable cars have been two cavaliers in my time and the worst was an audi 80ls everything went wrong with that car from spark plugs dropping out to all the pedal cables snapping!!
My best and most loved car has also been the least reliable I've ever owned: Alfa Romeo Alfetta 1.8 1979. Had it for 5 years (1982-1987), did the head gasket twice, callipers - all four, brake servo, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, drive shaft doughnuts (needed new ones every year), carburettor problems (Delortos), intake manifold leaks, alternator, rust everywhere, and lots of other things that I can't even recall now - but I loved it to bits (literally...). It drove like no other car I've had before or since. Very clever design and engineering but poorly implemented...
-
only had 2 previous cars, the sunny as mentioned in your other thread. Last car was a '95 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Si
Seats where better than the Omega, they were bucket body hugging ones, but the ride was apauling. Had some major problems, so got an excellent PX on it for my Omega :)

This is not my actual car, I found these pictures on the Internet, but it is identical to the one I had (including the colour):

and that's the engine:
(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4425/alfaromeoalfetta2ky6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
this car is Ivory, which was a very common colour in the seventees... mine started as Ivory but I resprayed it white.
-
Worst car is easy, a Nissan Cherry which was the biggest heap of junk I ever bought!
Best car is harder - Probably have to go for the Triumph GT6 as it was a delight to drive, but it needed constant work to keep it on the road...

So what did the Alfetta had that was clever? Firstly is was a sporty 4-door RWD saloon (familiar?)…
It had a double-overhead camshaft engine – almost unheard of in these days. Vauxhall were just moving from their Cam-In-Head (CIH) engine where the camshaft was on the side of the head operating the valves through pushrods, to Over-Head-Cam (OHC) where the single camshaft sat directly over the hydraulic valve lifters…. Alfa had a DOHC engine as standard for around twenty years before…
It had the gearbox at the rear of the car together with the dif – very good weight distribution! The cost was that the drive shaft rotated at the engine speed i.e. up to 7,000 rpm… so unless it was perfectly balanced the car would vibrate, and in turn all the rubber couplings along the drive shaft worked there way loose…
The rear brake disks where not on the wheel, but on both sides of the dif – this means that the sprung weight of the rear wheels was much reduced as they had no disks or callipers on them, so stuck to the road like glue.
There was also the ingenious De-Dion rear axle, which means that the rear wheels (and tyres) were always kept flat on the tarmac regarding of the body roll ensuring maximum adhesion.
The list goes on… but it was marvellous on those rare occasions when there was nothing wrong with it and it was actually road-worthy…
-
Best car I've ever had......my Omega of course!! ::) :y Despite some costly work when I initially got it it's definitely the most comfortable and smoothest car I've owned.
Worst was my Peugot 605 SVDT. Nothing but problems and ended up with the HG going twice. >:(
-
Sorry for hijacking the thread, I am getting all emotional here… :'( :-[
-
Worst car was a Nissan Bluebird blew HG after 1 week. I was in Bristol and RAC took it back to Scotland and gave me a Focus to drive home.
Best cars have to be the cavaliers I have had 1x 2.0 ecotec saloon in nautilus green (lovely colour), clutch and wheel bearing went, had no money to repair and had to scrap it :'( and 1x 2.0 redtop and finally 1x 2.5 v6 saloon. Loved them all.
-
Worst was an Orion 1.6 GLX I traded down to from my Supra! I hated it with a passion for everything about it.
I'd be pushed to identify the best car I've ever had. I've enjoyed many of them for lot's of different reasons...............
Cortina Crusader estate 'cos it was really my first.
Rover 3500 P6, 'cos I saved it from the scrappies and used it for a year or so. (Gotta lurve the V8 rumble!!).
'79 Turbo Trans Am Indy 500 Pace Car replica, ate engines like there was no tomorrow, but it was fun fun fun and boy did it attract alot of attention!!
'89 Supra, Big fast comfy moneypit but I loved it.
'89 Carlton 2.0 CDi, a complete shed, but it cost me nothing and wouldn't let me down no matter how hard I tried to kill it!!
'92 Senator, Big fast comfy and cheap as chips!!
-
worst a Renault 21 - God it was ugly !
Best Rover 200 vvc vi - God it was fun ! 160bhp from a corsa sized car
-
Worst was a Renault thing which was unreliable and very basic.
Best what for - fun would be the Sunbeam, otherwise the Carlton.
Most fun vehicle was a bike
-
Drove a 1.1 fiesta on an N plate and now my mum uses it, good little runner but I wouldn't go back to it what with having my omega :y

Yeah man alfetta rules, it was an alfetta 2lt twin cam that made me an ALFA fun when i was 12.
-
i say renault 21 as worst, but there was the mk2 escort which i could see the road through the "floor" :-/

What are we talking about,
this was a car made for the enthusiast real driver and it was set up for raceing. It would give any of todays 4 door cars a run for their money. It made its compeitors sound prehistoric the likes of ford cortina's and escorts were a joke comparet to this masterpiece.
-
Worst car was a Fiesta which I purchased for £25. It had four months of MOT and Tax and I scrapped it at the end of this and got £10 for it. Three months motoring for £15. I hated that car.
Also had a Talbot Horizon (for Talbot read Chrysler) - this was nice and comfy put sounded like a sewing machine owing to the tappets. This met a premature end with the rear suspension collapsing.
Best car is my Cavalier 16V 2.0 CDX. I like it so much that when the Omega came along, I could not bear to part with it. We have been together 10 years now.

My Daimler Double Six a six litre V12 was one
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h64/pickledpepper/2003_0326_154722AA.jpg
and my TR7 V8 a 3.9 beastie that was the quickest car I have owned
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h64/pickledpepper/IMG-1.jpg
The worst was a 1995 Fiesta RS1800. I was stiched up with this as it was HPI clear but had been repaired without the insurance being involved, went down the road like a crab and cost me a fortune in tyres.

They did make a Triumph TR8 Bob which had the Rover 3.5 V8 but most are LHD and went to the States. I think there where about 20 or so which are genuine RHD for the UK. Thats why most V8 conversions are called the TR7 V8.

my 2nd motor was a v. viva 1.3 good reliable little car. when i sold it i had to put a banana into the rocker box to quieten down the tappets, sorry to the buyer!
-
first ever was a 2.0 V4 Ford Corsair.
Best ever... the Senators..... I had a couple of Sennie A's, and 4 Sennie B's
the last of my rev A's was D72NFC , a 3.0 manual, Thames valley police "traffic" vehicle.... We fitted a PMC 3.6 litre conversion engine into it....
that's probably the Car I will always have the fondest "insane, and insanely happy" driving memories of , but it's a close run thing between that and my Later 3.6 Sennie B's
the latter being more refined and capacious , the former being a more aggressively nimble , yet discrete ,4 wheel guided missile.

The bast car ive owned was a INTEGRA TYPE-R non import but british version.It was number 33 in the country.Never went wrong not once, didnt miss a beat,which was amazing as it spent most of its life doing 9000rpm.
It also saved my life as i had to do a amazing swerve manouver to avoid a huge accident coming my way at 70mph.Anything else ive owned would have crashed.
Worst car was a L reg 325i. The engineering was beuitifull,everything was sorted,feel,steering,handling,breaks i loved it.The engine was straight 6 and very smooth and powerfull.
Sadly it packed up when driving home one night...........One of the coil packs failed,sent a spike to the ecu and £700 later,new ecu and six coil packs it was fixed.Also the coupe style windows didnt fit properly so they whistled.
-
worse is a toss up between a d reg Belmont and the many ford, inc a 51 plate focus piece of junk.
best, probably either one of the Rovers for ease/reliability, or the GTE for fun due ti its apalling handling...
-
Worst for me was an Avenger Estate I used as a runabout for a few months whilst rebuilding a crash damaged Astra SRi. Featureless, noisy, wet, gutless pile of poo, but it was cheap and had the space to cart bits around.
The one with the fondest memories is the Astra SRi. 6 months old with a brand new shell, ran faultlessly for 5 years other than getting romped up the backend less than a week after getting it on the road! The insurance sorted it again, though.

best was definetly my twin turbo rover Sdi V8 extremely fast and comfortable motor did 183.000 miles in it and apart from one broken pushrod and eating brake pads never had a moments trouble!!!! very quick nought to sixty about 6.6seconds but three weeks to stop it!!!! this was in spite of running jag fourpots!!!
worst? hmm there has been a few probably teh scimitar 3.0 v6 bloody electrics were forever going wrong!!

in terms of fun value when we sold our house i bought this
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/tyreburner/suki/c57066cb.jpg)
i even paid 30 to join the website but alas £100 per 200 miles and a lack of job forced her sale!!
in terms of relaibililty mk2 cav 1.6l with 113k on her in 2 years put 100k on it and all it ever wanted was back boxes and one cv joint and i drove like a tw*t back then ( made it from high level bridge in new castle to catterick garrison in 25 minutes ::)) then big ends went or would still have it now!!!!!
-
Worst was Isuzu Bighorn 3.1TD
Best was Skoda Octavia 1.8T vRS Estate

WORST :o, I think they were brilliant cars, my mum had one and it was great very good chassis, very comfortable seats and one of the best pushrod lumps of its size ever.
Definately a car I would buy to restore, perhaps yours was a little engine or a Hitorq 1600 my mums had the normal 1600 with larger carb.

OK here it is my Sunbeam
1600cc Kent AVFR3, twin 1.5 Strombergs K&Ns rally exhaust and suspension, lots of bits rescued off GLSs, was running at 90bhp at wheels

Thats just brought back memories of the sunbeams. They looked awful, not hugely reliable, rust buckets, but did go OK...

I quite liked the styling but then I am older than you, reliability I found was quite good I was covering 15000 miles a year.
They did go well. I had it coming off cam at 7200rpm in top, speedo needle off the clock.
Handling - well mine was the best handling car I have ever driven, I followed a Mundano being driven hard, wheel in the air, (it had passed me in a 30 limit I knew was regularly trapped), I followed quite happily!
Same corners I was only 10mph slower on loose chippings looking out of the side window!
That one drive made me realise why they won rallys with them.

I've never really had a bad car TBH... first was a '93 2.0 Mondeo saloon, one of the RS'd specials they done (I think it was Hendy Ford who modded them straight from the factory). It was pushing 150 BHP, had the full factory bodykit and RS lowering springs (Eibach made I think). Not bad for a 17 year old when all my mates were driving 1.1 Fiestas and the like! Ran like a dream, really predictable handling too. I had that until I bought my Impreza at 22 and not once did it let me down. It had a replacement water pump, starter motor and lambda sensor and I think that was it other than routine service items. That car basically became my daily driver while the Impreza was my fun car, starting the 2-car thing that has continued to this day (Omega is my daily driver, BMW is my fun car). I replaced the Mondeo with a 2.0 Audi that was somewhat underpowered in comparison (~125 BHP IIRC) but again ran like clockwork. I only sold that a few months ago with over 200k on the clock still running perfectly!
The Impreza was an absolute hoot to drive, you can imagine going from 150 to 280 BHP in a car that if anything was lighter. AWD too so it could really make use of the power. Had prodrive suspension kit (Eibach springs + Bilstein dampers), remapped to ~300 BHP, and the seats were brilliant, proper sculted ones much more sporty than the ones in the MV6 or indeed my 840:

(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul_morgan/car_pics/impreza/car5.jpg)
It's a real close call between that and the 840Ci which is all-round a much better car, much better built, more comfortable, sounds brilliant with the V8 engine, better ratios with the 6 speed gearbox, looks better IMO and gets loads of attention (although the Subaru did too, at least when I first got it before they became really common). But there's no doubt the Subaru was quicker off the line due to it being little more than a tin can on wheels! A bit of a one trick pony but a superbly good fun one at that 8-)
Here's the 840, you be the judge:

Martin - no offence intended, but there is generally a bad thing for every dozen or so good things, Avengers specifically included. ;D Find a good one and its great restore material. :y If only for rarity value! ;)
No doubt someone else will say the Arstra was a pile of poo - to me, it was loads of fun and cheap motoring when I couldn't afford much else at the time ...

Worst car is easy.
Rover SD1 2.6 :-[
Useless HG munching overweight lump with truly appalling handling.
So bad I bought 2! ::)
In the ownership of those 2, over just 1 year they went through 4 HGs!!
Best.
Sentor 24v. :D
Fabulous. Good handling. Superb engine, bought the car with 170k on the clock from an ex company director with full history.
Died at 206k when the ex wife wrote it off!! >:(
Absolutely faultless in between .
So good I have owned 5 in total.
Closely followed by the Saab 9000 2.3 turbo...
Had 3 of these. Last one being the Carlsson.
What an engine! That was amazing in a straight line (best not mention twisties, but it did keep me on my toes!)
On the whole, supremely reliable cars (HG on Carlsson aside).

No wonder - that is a rubbish engine!!
Should have got the V8
-
Yes I sold the Saab, for not far short of what I bought it for! :)
Buyer wanted a good shell to do a restoration, and this one was immaculate.
Martin. I owned 2 V8 Rover SD1's (I went through a period of tempory insanity and owned 4 of the things in a row! :-[)
V8 was a better engine with that wonderful sound 8-) but the handling was still woeful and bits broke on a regular basis!

Who cares with that V8 burble :y
-
V8 SD1! If one car sticks in my mind its the V8 SD1, wish I still had mine.... then again I think the only thing remaining would be the engine, the shell would have dissolved years ago.... infact it nearly had when I got rid of it.
-
Part of a training course I was on quite some years ago entailed driving the Cat 1 prisoner van used to transport the bad people between jail/court/jail of that time.
It was a Sherpa van complete with oxygen masks, ballistic armour, bullet proof glass, puncture proof tyres etc etc with a tuned Rover V8. Went quite well, considering. Just didn't stop worth a button from speed 'cos it was still drum brakes all round....
Literally standing up on the brake pedal and it was still only thinking about the possibility of nearly slowing down eventually. ;D
-
Talking about vans stopping. I remember when I was an apprentice we used to have a Commer Van with the front wheels that are quite far back I think it was something like a J 40 anyway the lads used to scream up the yard in it and jump on the brakes to see who could get the rear wheels the furthest off the ground :o ;D
-
I spent some time trying to work out what the worst one i ever had was...
it MIGHT have been that bloody Corsair... my first car... god it was sh1te
But dishonourable mentions must go to...
Fraud Granada Mk2 estate. ( we used it as a taxi, because there was no Senator Estate, and it was bigger than the Carlton estate ) , it got almost cut in half in a side impact accident in 89, provided me little or no protection , I still suffer from that incident today...
MG Maestro, Pedal offset causes back problem sin anyone over 6ft effectively, the pedals, seat and steering wheel are all slightly offset form each other so that you sit in a weird skewed position that causes a rotational tension in the spine ... leading to severe back ache after longer journeys.
this however appeared to be fixed for the Montego , which actually was a much better car..... still crap... but not nearly as crap as the misnomered Maestro.
Rover SDI 2.6 they weren't called HG munchers chaps ... they were called head benders.. the reason they went through so many HG's was that the heads warped at the slightest opportunity.... if it overheated even for a minute... it would require machining and a new HG at the very least....

i had an escort van once with similar troubles stopping. fortunately, a capri coming the other way stopped me... :-[

Haven't you heard about the ex Buick V8 ROver bought back in the 1960s and developed them selves, why oh why did people keep buying those crapppy straight sixes for? [smiley=angry.gif]
-
simply, as I recall, i think it was company car taxation rules.... there were break points in the tax rules at around 2 litres and 3 litres... 3.5 was way over the top, according to the accountant of the time..... who was shortly thereafter fired....
I did have a mate with a much tweaked 3.9 Vitesse Turbo....
to be fair , in a straight line it was magnificently brutal and awesomely quick.....
show it a roundabout however, and you were in trouble.....
:y
-
The SD1 2.6 was notoriously unreliable... ...but a lot cheaper than the V8
-
Worst car was anything that had a British Leyland badge on it ::) Best car was probably the Maxda626, never missed a beat, was very comfortable and had all the toys, it would have been my XR4i except it refused to go round corners :-?
-
Worst car - F reg 1.0 Nova saloon base model lower than a merit :( I needed a car and it was cheap.
Best car - K reg Cavalier 2.0 8v SRI. Dark blue with grey velour interior. First car that had an engine bigger than 1.3 and swapped the 14" wheel trims for 5 spoke 15" alloys. My first mod. :)
