The worst cars of all time: rating of failed cars. Photos
Modern car manufacturers are trying to create a more convenient and comfortable model every time. But there have been cases when cars did not meet the expectations of drivers at all, and companies try not to mention their inventions.
These cars looked terrible and had a lot of flaws. Engineerine has compiled a list of the worst cars of all time (to see the photos, scroll to the bottom of the article ).
20th place - AMC Pacer - 1978
This car was nicknamed "aquarium on wheels" by drivers. The rounded shape and large glass are an unusual design decision that unpleasantly surprised buyers. The AMC was discontinued after five years of production.

18th place - Aston Martin Cygnet - 2011
Aston Martin has developed an economical city car due to the new requirements of the European Union regarding the average level of emissions of harmful substances.

17th place - Chevy Vega - 1971
The aluminum engine of this car consumed too much oil. The CEO of Chevrolet realized that it was not the best car because it broke down during a test run. The car became widely known for a number of problems related to its engineering, reliability, safety, rusting, and engine durability.

13th place - BMW Isetta - 1955
This three-wheeled city vehicle with a single-cylinder engine with a capacity of 12 horsepower is probably the most unsuccessful German car. The Isetta was a poor vehicle with one front door and no reverse gear. Passengers could not get out of the car when it was parked with its nose to another vehicle.

10th place - Lincoln Continental Mark IV - 1972
This car did not have high dynamics, and its hood was compared to the deck of an aircraft carrier. The car was designed for customers who did not care about gasoline prices.

9th place - Reliant Robin - 1973
The car had only three wheels, two in the back and one in the front. This made it unstable while driving. Nevertheless, the car had many fans in its time.

6th place - Citroen Pluriel - 2003
In addition to the fact that the roof has to be removed manually and takes a lot of time, it is difficult to put it back on. It's like putting together a construction set.

5th place - BMW X6 - 2009
A car that looks and drives like a sedan, but at the same time has a high driver's seat and the roughness of an SUV. The BMW X6 does not impress with its performance and design.

4th place - Lexus SC 430 - 2002
For a car with a "sporty" look, the Lexus produces only 300 horsepower. This is not enough to cope with the massive weight of the Lexus. With a price tag of $61,055 and a maintenance bill that is more than double that amount, people understandably expect something out of the ordinary from this car.

3rd place - Pontiac Aztek - 2001
The front end of the Aztek looks like General Motors designed an SUV and then decided to cut off the hood of a Pontiac Grand Prix and stick it on top.

2nd place - Yugo GV - 1985
The Yugo is a communist car made in Yugoslavia. After being released in the United States in 1985 for $3,990, the Yugo quickly became a classic example of the phrase "you get what you pay for."

1st place - Eagle Premier - 1989
The Eagle Premier offers nothing outstanding or unusual. The design lacks style, and the car itself is not admirable.
