Here are my 2 cents. I have been (still am) a car mechanic for 45 years and I have seen the best and the worst and everything in between. I am aware of all the bashing that Saturn ION gets, but the truth of the matter is that, after 16 years and 295,000 km has been trouble free with just regular maintenance and still running strong. Car of the year awards are meaningless. The true test is time, reliability and operating costs.

'75 Mustang II was a pig.

They need to have a real human doing a little fact checking. Number one is incorrect right off the hop. The Chevrolet SST was a convertible, and that is the only thing right in the first 3 sentences. It was a sales flop, but that does not make it a bad car. It was in a shortened frame from the mid-sized GM sport utility line up. There was nothing bad in that. The engine was a standard LS-1 V8, a rather good, durable, and reliable engine backed up by a rather good drivetrain. The engineering behind the folding hard roof was also well and neatly done. Based on the pictures shown throughout the preamble, it seems that sales numbers are the determining factor in this farce of a video.

The worst car I ever owned was a Chevette. I had a Corvair when I was toung and it was ten times the car a Chevette was.

Plenty to criticize about the SSR, but not the engines. It came with V-8s. In fact, the last couple of years had the 400 hp LS2 straight from the Corvette.

Ugly is not the same as bad.

There is nothing wrong with the 71 trough the 73 Mustang it competed with the Camaro and by 1974 was considered to big and heavy to be competitive with the Camero and was downsides to be the original Mustang and sold better than the 74 Camaro , Barracuda , Fire-bird , Javelin , and couger . combined and selling 376.00 sold reinventing reinvented the pony car market

Some of the cars listed here weren't actually " bad " cars . The person that made this list probably never changed a spark plug in a lawnmower .

The Sebring was poor but the Canadians loved getting a convertible cheap. The rest of the cars were ok or pretty good. One that was an excellent used car was the Chevy lumina because it was so reliable for the cheap cost . To sell used cars they had to keep running after the sale. Gm cars were reliable and fast sellers except two 4 cylinder engines. Fords were all good but were slow sellers. Just because the companies made ugly cars or they didn't sell most were pretty good.

A few weeks after he bought the car, we had to drive to San Francisco for a wedding. We had the top going over the Golden Gate Bridge on a beautiful sunny 80 degree day. Halfway across the bridge the all the electrics died, and then the engine died. It wouldn’t start again. This was 9 am on a Wednesday, the bridge was tightly packed with cars, and we were blocking traffic. Not only was it extremely embarrassing, but judging from the way many other motorists were acting, we were going to get. killed. After the hell of that day, the dealer “fixed” the car, only to have it die again as he was driving it home. He owned it for 2 months and stopped driving it because you knew you’d get stranded.
