Best car: Audi A4 convertible. Had never bought a new car, walked into a dealer with newly pregnant missus just because we were passing by, had a look around, on the way home paid the deposit an A4 convertible by mobile phone; delivery lead time was six months, just in time for the birth. Loved that car: it was great fun and beautifully designed and engineered and there is something about 6 cylinders vs four. The gearbox blew up about 1 month before the warranty expired so it brought a bit of good luck with it too...
Worst car: more difficult to choose 'cos I try to avoid bad ones but any GM car I have ever driven has left me cursing within minutes. Would never purchase one without a gun to my head. My first car, a mini, needed constant attention and was probably a death trap (I recall a wheel nut coming off and soggy brakes) but had personality. I hate Fords too, tacky cheap things and the latest one I was foolish enough to buy could have killed me and DD when its brakes failed on a steep hill. Probably not its fault entirely but adds to my feeling that Fords are best avoided.
