Kinda agree, took a lot of adjustments and little upgrades to make it a decent enough car - was pants as standard (unlike 1*2's).
The engine and box tho are brilliant.
It was a 1978 piece of crap an auntie gave me.
Loved it at the time as it was better than walking, but its still worse than anything else I have owned as an actual car.

Clio 197 Cup.
Such a disappointment compared to the 182 Trophy, slower, with mpg worse than my M3.
Lasted 3 weeks.
Any reason for the e46 being poor? Other than the obvious floppyness of the cab.

11 plate Polo 1.2 - ridiculously underpowered.
This : Sorry if anyone has owned/ owns it now... but it was a pile of rusty, unreliable, dangerous rubbish! Bought in a rush and thought it would be "fun" to drive - the only good thing was the steering - very nicely weighted and direct... shame the brakes felt like the pads were made of icecream!

LoL My bird has a 1.25 12 plate Polo & I completely agree with you. I use it most of the time now & it's short of many a pony.

Yeah I think this was the 70HP one. Polo Match. Lovely place to be but dangerously slow. Joining a motorway was not fun!

Yep that's what hers is, it literally has all the power of a childrens beach windmill. The power it does have is in completely the wrong place aswell & it will not rev!
Range Rover Sport (supercharged) weak components keep failing and bad ride quality.
172 rag
309 gti f reg. Very uninspiring car.
Rover 414i utterly sh*t in every way, head gaskets went twice,
luckily the second time I managed to part ex it for a Golf TDI
before the garaged realised i'd pulled their pants down. :approve:

Seat Leon Cupra R.
Bought it from a member on here and although it was a nice comfortable fast car, it felt like it was just missing something, hated the interior, felt very very cheap and that's coming from an Impreza previously. Hated the way it delivered its power, hated the steering feel.
I used to wonder why people would moan about them being boring and think they were trolling, but totally understand it now.
Lovely looking cars though, just hated it.

Must be that grey cars have poor steering?
Here's my 197 (forgot to add a pic earlier on).

Head gasket went twice, had to open the bonnet with a screw driver, could break into it very quickly (didn't really bother locking it), sunroof leaked, very sticky throttle, cut springs, 17'' wolfrace alloys, one of those stick on valances sp? in a diffrent colour, didn't smell right after a mate threw up in it, handbrake cable was so stretched after doing many a handbrake turn you had to park it in gear.
Only good thing was the seats, never sat in anything so comfortable in my life, ended up being donated to Chichester college's mechanics to abuse !

Seriously? It must have been badly broken!
Okay the brakes are shockingly dangerous but the steering handling and gearbox are a cracking combo. This one (works pool car) has eibachs and a wider rear axle. Stupid amounts of fun....
Brakes are new which help
I wouldn't want to own it daily right enough.
