Which are the worst cars ever?

We’ve named our top 10 flop cars, but what do you think?

What’s the ugliest car you’ve ever seen? Or the worst car to drive? Or even the least reliable car to own?

In the 28 August issue of Auto Express, we are celebrating 25 years of our magazine on the newsstands with a host of features, including a look at the worst cars of the past quarter century.

Our Top 10 includes entries from some of the most respected brands today,including Skoda, Lexus and Nissan. There are also models that Renault, Chrysler, Citroen, Suzuki and Mitsubishi would love to forget.

And our Top 10 is completed with cars from two car makers no longer on sale in the UK – Rover and Daihatsu. 

You’ll have to buy the issue – or our weekly app – to find out the specific models we rate as Top of the Flops. But which cars do you think deserve to be rated as the worst on the road?

We’d love to hear what you have to say…. so post your thoughts below.
