best and worst cars you’ve driven?

At the moment the best has to have been the X5 3.0d automatic and the worst.....................the 1.0ltr Corsa courtesy car I have at the minute!

Alive.........but for how long?

Best car ... tough call, but the one I'd be most sorry to lose would be the Z1. Love my 750iL as well, though.

Worst car is a tossup between the Rover 400 and the Vauxhall Zafira, both were loan cars. <shudder>

Seems vauxhalls are a common denominator here.

best m3 csl closely followed by m5 worst saab 9000 loan car heap of c***p

Best is my current 328, worst is a toss up between a brand new Citroen C5 TD and an old 1.3 escort one of my mates used to own. It cost him �75 and definately should not have been on the road.

Oh and with reference to the comment on vauxhalls, I have driven quite a few since my dad always buys them and I can say that without a doubt all are better to drive than a Citroen C5, even a 1.2 Nova!!

That C5 must be bad. worse than a nova!!! You got to be kidding..

I kid you not. It was almost brand new as well. It was a 90bhp TD and was totally underpowered. The usable rev range was from about 1500 to 3000 so pulling out of a sliproad onto a motorway quickly required about 4 gear changes. The worst thing however was the handling. When you pushed it into a corner it was all over the place and the body would pitch suddenly without warning. It was like riding a matress with knackered springs.

Best car driven is either TVR Tuscan S for turning heads or Caterham
500 for sheer fun - wow they're fast!!!

Worst car - Austin Metro.

1999 E39 M5
1995 E36 M3 - Sold

MOST FUN: Fiat Punto 1.1, 1996. It was a test car
from Fiat in my (brief) Auto Express days. Drove it flat
out from Glasgow to Fort William and back one
sunny evening, just for the hell of it.
Also; early Alfasud, Mini Cooper S (the proper one,
not the weighty BMW tank), E30 M3 and E28 M5.
840Ci racing an Audi S4 near Dusseldorf, both on
the limiters at 155 grinning like idiots.
Mark 1 Escort RS2000, Clio 16v (the early one) and
...MG Maestro 2 litre. Really good fun to drive,
probably not to own.

WORST: Latest Toyota Avensis. Absolute garbage.
Ford Capri 2 litre, 1983. They promised it would be
awful - it was. Vectra 1.6.

MOST DISAPPOINTING: BMW 116i, so dull and
soooo sloooow. If only they were as clever as the
advert. M3 Evo 3.2 - they should feel faster that that -
surely? E60 5 Series; how to ruin an icon.

MOST SURPRISING: Ford Ka. After renting them for
six months, I bought a new one. 100 mph at a push,
regular 43 mpg,never went wrong, great handling.

MOST UNRELIABLE: E21 323i. I nearly cried with joy
when it caught fire on the M1.
