Worst car you have ever owned? 1. Chevy Nova 2. Volkswagen Beetle 3. Ford Granada 4. Chevy Chevette 5. Volvo V70XC 6. 1974 Toyota Corona My mom’s old car I drove in HS. It had this stupid display panel in the ceiling that had all the engine/maintenance lights in a checklist style configuration. No matter what you did, half the lights would not go out so we eventually unplugged it. ---

Worst car you have ever owned? 1. Chevy Nova 2. Volkswagen Beetle 3. Ford Granada 4. Chevy Chevette 5. Volvo V70XC 6. 1974 Toyota Corona 7. Chevy Beretta Meh, it was fine. My mom gave it to me after my car broke down and my then-girlfriend and I got pregnant, which was very nice of her. The car was older and not in the best shape, but it tied us over until we got back on our feet and were able to buy something less ungood. ---
