Best was an '89 Probe GT purchased in Nov. '88 and sold in Dec. '07. Worst was a '72 Ford Pinto. Nothing but problems.

Yes....a white Chevrolet Lumina worst vehicle I ever owned.... such a money pit and why I left GM behind and went to Hondas.....
Our Hondas have been very reliable vehicles and we plan on keeping them for a long while.........

My current 2002 Firebird has been my most reliable and best performing car to date.
Had a 1980 Buick Regal with a poorly installed aftermarket transmission and the engine was not right, so, in three months it drank a case of AT fluid and half a case of motor oil.

When I was stationed in England I had a 1956 Ford Poplar that undoubtedly was the worst excuse for a car that I have ever owned. It was so under powered that a Renault could pass it in 3rd gear and leave me in the dust.
It had vacuum windshield wipers that you had to force to get them to work, and being in England without windshield wipers is like going to the bathroom without toilet paper. I sold that tax free piece of junk for $20.00 big dollars to just get rid of it.

Best: 1984 Mercury Grande Marquis LS (fully loaded with options). Bought new and owned for over ten years. A reliable car with "class" styling.
Worst: 1976 Buick Opel (made by Isuzu - never went more than 2,000 miles without a moderate to major failure and few available parts to repair it)

Best: 1986 Volkswagen Jetta GL... came direct from Germany.If i remember correctly it was a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty, from wipers blades to bulbs,and also 8 year warranty on body.I owned this car for 8 years and never changed the timing belt,or clutch.Major repairs were a clutch cable and a front motor mount,alternator.They don't make them like this anymore.
:
Worst:There have been a few unfortunatly, but the one that stands out is a 95/96 Cavalier.A piece of junk.
