I don't know why everyone knocks the Echo. It sets higher and easier to get into and out of than one of those low-slung cars like a Civic, and their reliability is fantastic. I've never noticed vibration or an uncomfortable ride. We bought a used one for my son and it was a great car until he got side-swiped by a semi. Liked that car so much we drove almost 600 miles round trip to buy a 2003 from a used car place in Tampa. It had 60, 000 miles on it. Besides previous owner it had been a rental car. My son drove the hell out of it for years delivering pizza. Still driving it at 305, 000 miles. Has had minimal maintenance, an alternator, and the ac compressor went out a couple months ago.

I had a Cosworth. #552. It ran great all around Puget Sound and I never ever had a rust problem. I heard for years that the Cosworth was a Flop and that Chevy gave up on them. Well. .. they never were MEANT to be a long-term big seller. The reason they were built in the first place was Chevy needed a Sprint Car Engine for their racing division and to be eligible to race they had to appear in at least 2, 000 production vehicles. So, they cranked out about 2, 000 black ones then some colored ones and they totaled something like, 3, 400 or there abouts. They were NOT a Flop. It's what Chevy had to do to have their own Sprint Car Engine.

I will say this much for the Toyota Yaris. It is a fairly safe car to be in an accident in. My exwife's fiance had one and he got T-boned by a guy who was racing around and just blowing through intersections and slammed into his car and nearly knocked him into somebody's livingroom. I mean the car was like 20 yards/meters into the yard of the corner house by the intersection and my exwife's fiance was fine. A bit sore but no serious injuries and that's impressive for somebody driving a subcompact car. So maybe the expense is due to Toyota not phoning it in when it comes to safety.

Sad to say my dad bought one of these Chrysler TC tanks used from a friend with 40, 000 miles. I think Maserati basically did the interior. Chrysler make the car parts and it was similar to the Exxon Valdez. leaked a ton of oil. What it didn't leak, it burned. It also cornered like a watermelon on one wheel. His was the convertible with a solid hard top. He had to construct a rope and pulley system to lift to hard top because it was so heavy, it took 4 people to lift it off. LMAO And when it rained with only the soft to on, the trunk (2 cubic feet) filled up with water. SMH

If you're gonna pick a Maserati, the BiTurbo has to be it. At least the TC was relatively inexpensive to maintain and reliable by comparison due to it being mostly Chrysler. Try and find a running Biturbo which was hideously expensive, slow, and broke down immediately. And an Echo, really? There are many penalty box cars that have been made over the years. How about a first-gen Hyundai Excel? The thing didn't even have lap seatbelts. Just a bash bar in the dash. The drivetrain was made out of glass and you could break off chunks of the interior like peanut brittle.

The catera Cadilac is named in Germany the Opel Omega. Here its easy to find people to fix the car. those Omega's are great cruisers especially with a V6 engine. i know someone who had one with a 2. 2 four cilinder engine manual shifter that had 900K of kilometers on the odometer. The biggest problem is with these cars is that the engine did not get enough wind cooling, that was how the front was made and how the engine was placed in it. but still very luxurious car. i enjoyed every ride in it.

Why the Gremlin? Unless, it had that dismal 4 cylinder Audi engine in it. The AMC 6 sixes were bulletproof, as well as the torqueflite transmission. Styling? Damn, the last Gremlin rolled off the line 40 years ago That's was the 70's look. I have a 72X, since 1993, never more than standard maintenance done to it. And if you want to talk about ugly, look no further than the Kia Soul, or Honda Element, which as the appearance of a casket.

I'm surprised the Chevy Chevette didn't make the list. I sat next to a guy once who bought one for his wife. One day she called him, said the car had broken down. She'd had it towed to a mechanic, who after looking at it told him that the crankshaft had broken. How is that even possible? The guy I worked with said it was because his wife was driving too many fat ladies around. I bet that reason went over well with his wife
