So basically, we are saying then that the Vauxhall Omega is the pinnacle of motoring finnesse and the rubbish cars we drove in our history were just errors of judgement?
Or am I being ridiculous?

I never said the Omega was the best car I've had.  That accolade (based on distance covered (102k), time owned(10yrs), faults (HG x 1.5, fuel pump (warranty)) has to be without doubt, our little Rover 25.  Best handling car I've ever had as well.

Loved my SD1 but I do have a soft spot for rovers.Have had loads of them over the years before moving on to migs. Worst car was a fiat panda. My kids loved it though they called it noddy`s car.

mine was a triumph 1300 . it looked like a toledo, but  driving it was so uncomfortable .

E reg Orion 1.6i Ghia, many years back, £200. It started, got so far & stopped. Go back to it later & it would start again. A bloke offered me my £200 back, took it round the block & was gone for nearly an hour. If he breaked off i would'nt have cared less tbh but he came back, said it broke down, started again, i thought i was lumbered but still gave me the £200!!!! Dunno how far he got???

    Total pile of steaming doggy doo!!!!

I always fancied a v8 SD1.  I known they were a bit agricultural, even in their day, and the engine needed improving, but even now, would still consider one...

Would quite like a V8 P6 myself.

The worst isn't just one car, Ford Escort MkII, Ford Orion 1.6 diesel

That's not a car, it's an automotive lobotomy! I guess, on the positive side, things can only get better if you own one of those.

Orions are total shite

1991 Ford Escort 1.4GLX J123BNN was the most asthmatic car I have ever had the mis-fortune to drive.After 3 months it started rusting on the off side rear wheel arch and then the key collapsed in the fuel cap.The seats were awful and the ride quality was stuck in the seventies.

I'll second that one...  my first car was also an Orion... Complete with a leaky boot, a swimming pool in my spare wheel well and every bump in the road sent the back of the car across the road...  Such a stunning car, that when I did crash the car (into a hedge), it didn't even knock the hedge down (thankfully as there was a 15ft drop the other side)...

The thing that really pee'd me off was I had recently had a complete exhaust and rear springs fitted...

Worst cars for me were a Chrsler Alpine 1400, was our company secretatys car, maintained by the company garage, (My Dad was the transport manager covering 130+ vehicles) the car had never been over 50 mph, eveything electical seemed to pack up on me in weeks, alternator, starter, problems with hrad lights.

Other was my Brand Spanking Astra GTE, actually put me off Vx for a few years.  Was a produbt of a german steel strike from what the told, loeadsa probs including rust and a wiring loom meltdown when starting the car (or trying to)(and in a firking petrol station of all places )

[Bixy1]

Morris Minor.  Only had it  a week or so.....hideous.    Funnily enough, so was the first Omega I drove. Hated it completely, vowed I would never get one.
Funny old world.............. . . . . .  .  .  .  . :-?

[mudflap]

Escort Mk1 - rust heap, handled like a pig, financial black hole.  i attempted to jack it up once but the jack kept on going up through its rusty sills and the car just stayed there... :-?

worse than my Viva

Astra F/mk3, but only because my brother did tune it, and its true, if you tune it, it gets worse, he put an 2.0i Carlton/Omega engine in it, did a chip tuning on it, it ran well first. He also welded an mk4 Astra hood grill to it, put GSi bumpers on it and glued a diffusor and a splitter to it, then resprayed it with an Alfa Romeo effect paint and put some polished 16" Brock B1 on it.

A good Boyracer, right up to the moment, the oilpresure was gone and the crankshaft bent, the engine had an extrem unbalance, it lituarry shaked the windows out of the car, and of cause ran like a tractor.

So he put another c20ne in it, this time an even older one, whith a 135000 mileage before I got it from him.

It wont start everytime i was in a hurry, and broke down, when I driven a couple of times on short distances. Then the Valves became leaky, it had a poor fuel consumption of 20l/100km (about 11mpg). So I had refurbish the cylinderhead, where on other places the wheelarches startet to rust (thru the expensive alfa-romeo pearlmutt paint), so I welded it and resprayed the whole car, same colour. One week later I lost the GFK diffusor which was hotglued to original GSi bumpers.

In essence, it was a big pile of Problems.

Worst car? Fiat 126. 'Nuff said!

[Auto Addict]

Renault Laguna 2.0ltr Auto.

Never again.
