    Sounds like many a car i have owned.

    Probably worst i have drove was a Nova with no brakes whatsoever (no handbrake either) a smashed windscreen, the rear tyres had slits all around the wall's, the headlight or indicators never worked, all 4 bearings had gone where it had been parked for 2 years before we moved it. It wasnt Taxed or MOT'd and i had to drive it from Wiltshire to my house.

    Engine was sweet though.

    me mates b reg 1.1 fiesta!
    pedals were bent together so you didn't know what you were pressing doors were rusted through, had a hole in the boot floor the window winders weren't attached to anything so they were push up an push down! in the end someone put a match to it, don't know who that could have been :wink: ::

    The worst drive i ever had wasn't any of my nova's - or even the missus' 1.0 26 year old fiesta with an engine problem - nope - it was a 2 month old Daewoo (the one that looks a bit liek an astra).

    My dad used to deliver carsand from time to time would let me have a go at em when he kept em over night... and that car he said was so bad to drive i just had to try it to believe it.

    Seemed promising at first - comfortable seat - driving position wasnt too bad - but the drive of it was just soooo bland and un-inspiring and the cornering ability of it was well... it was dangerous - no grip and the body roll put a standard nova to shame easily.

    It was terrible.

    All of the cars you lot are talking about sound like a proper mess but that adds character and fun to the drive... a nice little quirk like no brakes or lights makes it something different and interesting. This was a 2 month old year 2000 car and yet it was worse to drive than anything i have driven up to that point or since.

    Note to self *NEVER buy a daewoo*

    Same as a Mk2 Astra Wisewood - The roads were damp the other day and I couldn't go more than 5-10mph around roundabouts.

    i drove a mk2 astra once though and it wasnt as bad as that daewoo - seems they tried to make it more comfortable and just made the suspension too spongy.

    even the 1.0 fiesta that the missus ahs at the moment till her nova is sorted is better than that daewoo...

    it doesnt go very fast at all - and struggles up hills but thrashing around in it on flat roads is loadsa fun - corners REALLY well for an old car with standard suspension. Missus driving my clio and me in the fiesta i have left her way behind on the way to my mums once.... simply coz i was throwing it into corners at 50 - 60mph to try and keep the revs up.
