The name Gremlin should be enough of a warning to stay away from this junky car. In the 1960s and 1970s, the demand for cars exploded, and every manufacturer was trying to get a piece of the growing pie. What AMC decided to do was redesign their Hornet without a butt. This, combined with a hefty engine, made the car way too hard to control in traffic. Plus, there weren\u2019t many options available for the Gremlin, so many first-time buyers looking for all the bells and whistles satiated their car needs elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Diesel engines are a great way to overcome growing energy and fuel problems but only if they\u2019re made right. The Cutlass Supreme by Oldsmobile was, to say the least, done horribly. Many people have accredited the downfall of diesel engines to the poor Cutlass\u2019 poor performance (fuel-inefficiency and maintenance problems left and right). The silver lining is that the Cutlass\u2019 engine blocks were a game-changer and are still used in race cars today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For many, the thought of owning a Cadillac is only a dream, but the Fleetwood was a nightmare to all. it was one of the first car models that used semiconductors and computer technology which was not perfected and resulted in a terrible driving experience. Jerking to a stop in the middle of traffic was a common problem with this car, and Cadillac soon took it off the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

High-tech gadgets only last for so long until they\u2019re replaced by something new. The Amphicar was the latest and \u201cgreatest\u201d thing to hit the market in the 1960s by being both a car on land and a boat at sea. The company, however, bit off a bit more than it could chew, and by trying to please everybody, the Amphicar was only mediocre at driving and floating.

At first glance, the TR7 actually looks pretty cool. However, its design wasn\u2019t its undoing but rather how it was constructed. Without going too much into detail, the car was an absolute suck-fest. Design flaws became apparent by angry customers on day one, and its electrical system wouldn\u2019t indicate trouble under the hood for several days. Essentially, if anything could break, you can bet your sweet cheeks that it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The car, made in the early 20th<\/sup> century, rode pretty well, but it was the gateway model to modern vehicles. The problem was that the Model T absolutely destroyed the environment by releasing large amounts of toxic fumes into the atmosphere. Its affordability and \u201cconvenience\u201d transformed the way people thought of transportation, and anybody who could afford one of these environmental disasters owned one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n You can either hate the Aztek or love it with all your heart. Those are the only two responses we\u2019ve heard about ugly vehicles. Pontiac decided to think outside of the box and create a new body shape that severely limited rear and side visibility. Inside of the car was no better – almost everything inside the car wore down within the first year of purchase. Furthermore, the weight of the car destroyed its suspensions, making it almost impossible to drive on most types of terrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n For a brand that has done well throughout time, it\u2019s actually quite surprising to learn that the Mustang II was so bad. The Mustang II\u2019s main issue wasn\u2019t just having an unappealing body but also being released right in the middle of the 1970s oil crisis. Its gas-guzzling engine wasn\u2019t well-received so many buyers decided to go with a Japanese car instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n You\u2019re probably wondering why we included the classic DeLorean on our list. It became a classic after the Back to the Future franchise, but it wasn\u2019t as popular in the real market. The construction methods of the DeLorean made it almost impossible to maintain \u2013 special ordered parts would need to be made for simple repairs which would cost the consumer a pretty penny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Perhaps the most popular worst car ever is the Ford Pinto, a\ncar that offered a ton of features that nobody asked for. Granted, it doesn\u2019t\nlook half bad, but it was made to fail. By rear-ending this machine, it would\nbe a miracle if it didn\u2019t catch fire. The worst part is that Ford was aware of\nthe problem but decided not to do anything. The cost of recalling every Pinto outweighed\nsettlement costs so they risked litigation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone holds a different opinion about which cars are the best.
