As above. Mine would have to be a Ford Orion 1.6 GL Diesel, all the performance of a rocking chair, but it did around 70 mpg even when i thrashed it & i did, all the time  

[Marks DTM Calib]

1.1 Fiesta Mk1 Popular, shite engine, shite brakes, non-adjustable seats, stupidly low gearing, foot operated screen washer and no reverse light.........

Ow, did I mention rust......

1.0 not even a merit Vx Nova saloon  

Had a 1.3 litre of these, went like stink up to about 70, then it bottled out  
Rusty as hell though & the knobs would fall of the dash too  :-?

Really, I had a 1.2 merit and it regularly did three figures round the A52  

I loved it, great little Go-Cart

Ford Sierra. Couldn't keep it on the road.

SWMBO had an Austin 1100 Auto !!!! Abso-bloody-useless piece of s****

I seemed to spend half my life keeping the gutless, noisy thing going - she was given it by a relative ... so it had "sentimental" value

Was I glad when the crap air-suspension finally collapsed and i could prove it was beyond economical repair ...

I loved these little cars despite the dodgy hydrolastic suspension. The 1300's were pretty nippy as were the 1300GT,s, but auto? not in a small car. Not much money now if you look on classic cars under Austin or Morris!

[Mr Skrunts]

My most hated car was a Chrysler Alpine    

But I hate to admit that my most problematic car was a Brand New Astra GTE, my 1st ever brand new car

[coronaryman]

I once owned for my sins a Skoda 105 Estelle. Bright orange it was like the flashing beacon on a zebra crossing.
Remember going along the M42 on the way to a concert at the NEC ovetaking a Fiesta which was in the nearside lane. Just getting past it and hit a slight hill. Lost all my speed and was very embarrassed the Fiesta cruised back past me in the inside lane. It was like a keystone cops film.

Ah the memories. My mum had a Morris 1100 & i remember my brother & i used to try to make her race beetles on the motorway.
It didn't have a radio, so we had a radio on the back shelf & it was my brothers job to keep it tuned in (i think it was a Roberts radio)
Went bloody miles in that
