You should have really researched the Corvair a little more. It was literally a great car that suffered from a smear campaign. Ralph Nader was not only found guilty of slander, but had his career destroyed.

I'm baffled by the fact that most, if not all of these cars look better than the 2022 BMW XM

The Corvair was a great car to drive. My father used to say that the biggest problem with the car was the "loose nut" behind the wheel. As for this video, I never expect anything that equates to quality from someone who wears a cap backwards.

The problem with the Corvair wasn’t the tires, it was the swing axle suspension that would tuck if you brakes to hard, Chevy recommended a specific tire pressure to prevent the car from rolling over, but most people ignored this issue. Chevy installed a rear sway bar in 1964 that fixed the suspension. But Ralph Nadeem’s book “Unsafe at any Speed” killed the Corvair. And the book contained downright lies about the corvairs problems.

He really doesn’t have to make a corny joke on every entry

The Corvair was introduced as a compact economy car, they were very reliable and easy to handle also good in snow driving. So called "Consumer Advocate" Ralph Nader (Who had a vast financial tie to Ford) did a hatchet job on them. Even in the clips shown of it, in a forced high speed roll over note the lack of damage to the roof and how it stopped upright and not continue to roll. BTW Nader was later found guilty in a slander suite.

I absolutely loved my Aztec. You could carry a ton of stuff with all the cargo room it had. When my dad first saw it he got a big grin and said, ‘ I love it. It looks like a tank’. I’d still be driving it if it weren’t for a studio-ass deer.

I had a 1960 Corvair and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. I put radial tires on it and followed the guide for tire pressure. I ran 13 Lbs pressure in the front tires and 26 Lbs of pressure in the rear on radial tires.. It had every option on it. A fold down rear seat, a radio, a gasoline heater, and windshield washer. That car gripped the road like it had suction cups.

The Trabbi is a good call but there are Fanclubs that going to put a Bounty on your head 😂😂

Lada samara is kinda badass. I used to be in a rollover on a samara. Also it's quite good rally car for the money. And parts don't need to be bought their ment to be fixed or be sourced from a random car.

The corvair was as safe as any other small car in it's day. And was proven so in court. Ralph Nader should have had to pay GM a lot of money for that book and lost his reputation for ever. Instead he became famous, people still believe the corvair was more unsafe than other small cars of that period and he made a lot of money. Sometimes there is no justice

I have also been led to believe that the Corvair's handling "problems" were due to GM refusing to install a rear anti-away bar -- cost about %15. When one was finally fitted, all the problems went away. GM deserved the shit that was thrown at it back then.

I gotta say, I've always kinda liked the styling of the Edsel. This guy in my town has a 57 Fairlane with an Edsel front clip with a supercharged 460. Horsepower figures are unknown, but that boat gets to the ¼ mile mark in 10.1 seconds. Pretty is as pretty does.

Personalty, I will take a Corvair any day, especially, A Corvair Monza Spider!

I am surprised (and kind of shocked) that the Trabant 601 was on top of the list. I live in Brandenburg (was part of the GDR) and had driven this car also. There's a huge fanbase here. Almost everyone likes almost every Trabant ever made. My grandpa even had about three Trabants by himself. Even though they might have no power, it's much fun to drive. The 2-stroke-engine sounds quite interesting flooring it in cities and you probably won't even get over the speed limit. I like this little car, even though it might not be the best one lol.

I owned a dodge challenger of the same color @11:53 and it had plaid interior. It was used, bought it from my best friend for $300 and it served the purpose. It was slow and really just a Mitsubishi (Galant I think) but it was super comfortable. Yes, it was really a crappy car I suppose but hey, $300! I always thought they looked really Pontiac. I wrecked it into a ford bronco running through a 4-way stop and was not too upset. Indeed disgraceful to have given that car the challenger name.

Trabant is the #1? Are you kiddin’ me?! That’s a good car. Cheap, comfortable, low-cost…a real farm animal. 🤓

Ironically, the Pinto design was the same design as all the other manufacturers. Part of Fords defense, during the trial, was bringing in the back half of several cars from several manufacturers, built the same way. The Pinto that exploded, was stopped at a red light, and was hit from behind b a large van at 70 mph. Most cars won’t fair that good in that scenario.

I'd love to have an Aztec. It's not ugly at all. I love it. The Corvair and Pinto would not kill you. Ralph Nader fabricated a lot of stuff and rigged cars to blow on tests, to make a name for himself.

As an owner of a 1974.5 MGB, thumbs up for the Lucas fridge joke! The joke may be an oldie, but it's still relevant lol.

The chevy ssr and pt crusier are such an awesome vehicles. Imagine showing up to your drag strip and getting beat by either one. And the pinto only exploded for one year, but by the time ford fixed the problem the next year the damage had been done. In reality the pinto is a cool car.

Bought a Dodge Dart for my mom drove it off the dealership three months later it’s engine went, sold it for a third what I had in it. Then I got her a 14 v6 dodge challenger sxt and she absolutely loves it way more than the dart

The Aztek’s front is basically just two different designs fused into one, making it look like the boogie man of the car world, and that makes it a Frankenstein Car.

When my parents were first married my dad bought my mom a Corvair…and she kept it all the way till 1990! She loved that death trap for some reason.

5:50 just for accuracy - Top Gear set up all the scenes by altering the car, adding weights, removing springs etc. Yes the Reliant Robin was unstable by normal car standards but not like they make out.

I had a 2005 Sebring Convertible and loved it. I only had to do oil changes and tires over the 10 years and 256k miles that I had it.

In the early '70s I bought the first of my 3 Corvairs, a '63 Monza 2-door that I added about $3000 worth of performance parts to and ended up with the funnest car I've ever had. Balanced '67 164 cid 180hp high compression engine with a high-lift cam, 4-carbs, tube exhaust and turbo mufflers, competition clutch and a 4-speed (broke 3 of them). The sound it made always turned heads. Going to 'Vegas it would cruise at 85 and I could hold it on 120 for about 10 minutes. Battery and spare in the trunk, Goodrich steel radials, alloy wheels, rear traction bars, front sway bar, high-speed steering arms, short-throw shifter, 14" foam-covered steering wheel, and powdered metal brake shoes made it handle and stop very well. I used to tear around on Mulholland Drive and never crashed it even once. Had a mechanic tell me about his niece who had one that made it ALL THE WAY from L.A. to Seattle, AND BACK! OMG what a rube. The only problem with Corvair is Chevrolet thought they needed to make it a car for everyone (as was typical in those days) instead of a real sports car. I've seen road race videos of race-prepped stock Corvairs beating Porsches. NOT saying every Corvair was faster than every Porsche, just stating what I know through experience. I still occasionally have dreams about that car and I wake up wanting it back, but building one like it today would cost at least $25k. My other two were a '63 panel van and a rare '67 Turbo Corsa, both 4-speeds. Those were the days.

When speaking of the Delorean, the body panels were made of stainless steel. Most cars today and yesterday have been built of sheet metal. Huge difference between plain jane steel and stainless .

Brazil finally was recognized! with the Chevette (approximately 0.1HP), the Yugo (in Brazil, was known as the Fiat 147), but you should put the Chevy Opala and the (also chevy) Omega, cars that could have a V8, but just came in I4 and I6, and was extremely horrible in gas mileages (you cannot fill the tank with the car on, because it wil cost the value of a new one). If there are some english errors, is because i am brazilian, and still learning this language

I have a 2007 jeep compass that has about a 150 thousand miles on it got it in 2017 with 60 thousand miles on it. The only thing I've had done to it is regular oil changes and an alternator. It gets nearly 30 miles per gallon and has shift on the fly 4x4 it's been a great car

I have to argue with you about the TR7. I bought one in 1993 and loved that little thing. Great acceleration, really comfortable (to me), and it cornered like a scared rabbit. I only had 2 issues with it. The only electrical problem I had was a headlight lift motor going Tango Uniform. One, I had to learn to synchronize the dual Zenith Stromberg carbs and keep checking on the oil in them. Two, having to mail order my parts if I needed anything. For that Victoria British were life savers!

I bought a 1991 Yugo, one of the last in the US for $2,346.10 from the dealer. I just wish I still owned it. That year Yugos got Bosch EFI, and it turned that thing into a mini rocket. 0 to 60 in 11 seconds. I almost got a ticket for 117mph in mine, but the cop and I said there's NO WAY. lol! So he let me go. The 34 MPG on 93 oct, was another great thing. Yugo had really dialed it in for the US market, and then the country sadly blew up. C'est la Vie!

The SSR was actually good, unique, and slightly retro. The problem was... that "big ol V8" was terrible and mated to a terrible transmission. It got fixed in the last year or two of its production, putting a better transmission to help with a slightly better engine, but by then, the damage was done. Kinda like what happened to the GTO.

The Fuller Dymaxion was supposed to be a first step toward making a flying car, but like a real world one that’s a car airplane hybrid. Buckminster Fuller was obsessed with closing things off with a bubble or dome. His daughter got sick and died, and he believed if his home was a closed off sealed bubble where all the air was filtered and purified, she might not have gotten sick and died.

Sorry, your wrong about the Corvair. It was, and still is a great little car. My sister had one, and it was super reliable and fun. It lasted 22 years, without major repairs.

There was a Sebring pace car model used in the Indy CART circuit in the 90s. I was taken for a track run by one of the track drivers at the Nazareth speedway. It did over 160, and granted, it was a modified pace car. Still had a lot of fun.

I have owned a Pinto and loved it until 98K miles when the interior fell apart. What do you expect for a $2300 car.

❤❤ Back in the 60's my parents had a Borg Ward car and every time it rained it would stop running. We would coast to the side of the road and wait for it to stop raining. I don't know how they did it but somehow it would pickup more water in the distributor than what came off the tires.🤪

The Corvair was not a sports car but an economy car. It's competition was the Ford Falcon and Plymouth Valiant. Though it ended be enjoyable by sports car enthusiast. It had a ten year production. After production was over there was a study that showed the Corvair was no more dangerous than any other American car at that time. And commended such things as gas tank placement as being safer than other cars.

3:53 The "unsafe" nature of the Corvair was VERY overstated by Nader, and that BS book of his was garbage.

I was not fond of the style of the Pinto but hot rodders love to use their steering in their creations because they were good and their engines along with the very similar designed Chevette engines were very smartly designed. A sturdy non interference design that was reliable and easy to work on.

The DeLorean does not belong on this list of "worst cars." yah, sure, the engine was sub-par, ... but everything else was magical!

8:09 The original Dart did NOT target the Mustang or Camaro. It was more like the same-period Thunderbird, Baracuda, and such - an INTERMEDIATE sedan.

We had a corvair. It was a nice car but it had an issue. If you stopped it would choke itself out and refuse to start for the next 5-10 minutes every single time. We took it to countless shops and they could never figure it out

I always thought the Metropolitain was a nice looking little car. The color schemes were great. (and have you seen one with the matching boat?)

1978 Renault brought out the LeCar and my wife fell in love with it. The irony was that we owned a Pinto and knew we needed something safer. The LeCar in many ways was a step backward for sure. Terrible power, and craftsmanship. Altogether it was junk!

I bought a Saporro, the Challenger's Plymouth equivalent, brand new. Really enjoyed driving it, it was great on the highway and had reasonable gas mileage. Surprised the '98-'10 Fiat Multipla didn't make the list!

I'm a bit surprised the Citroën 2CV didn't make your list, although watching the guys on Mythbusters take one apart without much in the way of tools and turn it into a psuedo-cycle was pretty cool.

I am 68 and cars have been my life. I was 7 years old in 1960,which means I just about cover most of the cars in your list. I must admit, young man, you nailed it. Thank you and keep up the good work.The Corvair,the TR-7 back to the Edsel and all in between. YIKES !!!

The Vega is actually a good looking car. Engine and rusting are drawbacks though. Put in a LS engine and it's a small Camaro sleeper.

The Vega drove pretty well when it ran, just not often. The aluminum block had a sprayed on silicone coating on the cylinder walls, which quickly wore off, leading to obvious oil-burning. And the iron head expanded and contracted more than the alloy block, leading to frequent blown head gaskets. The radiator was tiny, so the loss of as little as a quart of coolant would lead to fatal overheating. If you put in a bigger radiator and had steel liners put in the cylinders the engines lasted quite a while. Too bad GM didn't do the job right!

The Edsel isn't just one car. It was Ford's poorly executed attempt to put another brand between Ford and Lincoln.

My uncle had two Trabants and he drove to Austria from Belgium, no problems. There is still a roof of a Trabant in the garden, it dose not rust, I use it to cover some 200l drums. The engine was easy to work on. We had a lot of British cars from the sixties and seventies and all the electrics and body where crap, including Jaguars (they're eclectics where a bit better and Rover) Rust was the biggest problem, water-pumps always leaking, water ingress, road holding was good, like gear boxes and rear ends. Humber was a fine car, like Rover.

Oh Brad, I Disagree with the Corvair! I had the Turbo Corsair 180 HP. It was a Convertible too- popular "Date" car, Really 🥰👍

As weak as it was, the Mustang II sold well and really helped Ford out during the worst of the malaise era.

So glad the Aztec was on the list... when I saw it on the road I always thought : " What went wrong at GM?" In the bac roo with white powder????? It looks like a poorly styled woman's handbag.

My brother had 69 corvair . Bunch of after market suspension and engine mods. Ate up late 70s Camaro and Trans Am.

Unbelievable! I had 3 of these Cars Brad 🤣🤔😭

Hey.... I had one of those 2nd generation Challenger's. It was a 1978 Challenger, and its 2.6l engine drove just fine. Side note: it rolled 100k miles on 8-8-88.

I got to drive a 2015 Dodge Dart Limited. It was more reliable than this video makes it out to be. It never left me stranded by the side of Hiwy 16 or I-90. The only serious flaws were the trunk lid that kept popping open without any input on the key remote and the driver's side door that refused most of the time to unlock when one grabbed the door handle.

The Corvair was the only RR car GM has ever built. It's an American Beetle with a turbo flat 6 AND the bad publicity it received was false. Do your research next time, bud. Also, Vegas are pretty badass, you're drunk.

The 2 cars I disagree with being on this list the most are the Corvair and the SSR. the SSR was just overweight for its size and underpowered to begin with along with the retractable top on something that was styled to resemble a pick-up truck were the biggest reasons it was such a sales flop. And I always thought the Corvairs were pretty okay cars, even the earlier generation which Ralph Nader wrote his book about. BUT, the NHTSA did a study on the earlier Corvair and found it to be just as safe as any other car or its size and weight. And that information was released in 1972. I've even seen a couple of owners of mint condition earlier 60s Corvairs decorate them with license plate frames saying, "up yours, Ralph Nader". Well, I don't think I disagree much on any of the others being here. The Mustang 2s were kind of junky along with the Vegas, Pintos, and Chevettes. I did know 1 person who got stranded in a PT cruiser because its automatic transmission froze up on him. And the 80's Cadillacs, I agree were by far the biggest underachieving luxury cars of all time. The full-size Fleetwood Brougham got better when they no longer had the junky 4.1-liter V8 and put a 5.0 in it. But even then, while that 5.0 was a much better engine than the 4.1, it still had a 2-barrel carb. instead of fuel injection and wasn't enough to give the car any real acceleration keeping it a top underachiever. And for that Caddy, it was like: "yeah the engine's a V8, big whoop dee doo". Before I go, I want to say how pleasantly surprised I am to not see the Chevy HHR on this list. I had an '07 HHR w/ 2.2 Liter 4 (good little engine) and a Stick shift (which I feel is the way to get them over the automatic). HHR is obviously not the best car there is, but mine was pretty reliable. Those ARE cars that will last if they're taken care of, better than average chance. The one I had, never left me stranded to where I had to call a tow truck, well maybe 1 close call because the starter was starting to go. But that got replaced. Since then, there were just a couple things on it that I fixed by myself. And I ended up joining 3 HHR Fan Clubs on Facebook, 2 more than originally planned. With that said, I know why I'd buy Chevy over Chrysler no matter what, with some things.

I absolutely adored my Aztek!! Thing was awesome to drive, the tent served us well for years! So many Camping trips and so many memories! I'd absolutely love to get another one!

Just wanted to add that alot of 70s and 80s 'supercars' could be beaten in a 1/4 run today. My previous 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB could only manage around 17 seconds. However, they did well enough in their time.

First car that I bought that I truly wanted. I owned a 2002 PT Cruiser. I loved that car. Had it from 05 to 15. And I loved looking at it. I loved all the personal retro stuff that people would do them. Don't care. I loved that car.

The Smart car is actually safer than you think (the Coupe, which never came to the US, is cooler). When I got married (the first time) back in the 90's, our getaway car was a Trabant convertible.

6:10 the Relevant Robin tiped over of you. sneezed. 6:15 shows you drifting it to a Corner with 50 km/h 😂

I have to disagree about the Ford Pinto. I had a '73 and I put over 150,000 miles on it. It was the most dependable car I ever owned. My dad and sister also had Pintos and loved them. The worst car I ever had was an '04 Honda Civic. Pure junk. It died at just over 50,000 miles.

My folks have a 2000 Sebring JXI droptop they bought new in 1999 and its been problem free for the last 22.5yrs. The original top was replaced late last year (lets face it, they dont last forever) so id say thats pretty good. It still looks showroom perfect too

I have to disagree with you on the chevette. I had an 81 4-speed and that car was awesome. Never had any electrical or mechanical issues and I beat the crap out of that car. Took that car on several 800 to 1100 mile trips and it did 75 to 80 mph on the highway all day long. I did wicked peg leg burnouts and with some aftermarket wheels and tires looked pretty good. The automatic version was a gutless wonder, I'll give you that.

I had a Fiat 128 sport. I can only remember a few of the many problems we had with it. A fire under the dash. A side window fell out. The 4 speed shifter would lock up. Many relays under the sulfuric acid laden battery tray. Finally the cam belt broke destroying the engine.

11:39 our yugo and some our friends had yugo, and always and always we had issue with smoke, the smoke got in the cabinet sometimes, and it was awful.

a Chevette is not for losers! it is a drift machine in Brazil :)

8:00 I disagree with the Dart. It is actually a really great car. My grandparents drive one to this day and it hasn't had any issues at all.

# 1 ~ This was a vehicle that citizens got put on a 2-year (sometimes longer) waiting list, if they wanted to buy one. Payment upfront of course. By the time they took possession of it, they were so happy to have it; they ignored all of its issues. Plus, most Russians had no clue that its issues didn't exist on American cars. They thought it was the best out there. Others, immediately turned around and sold the ones they received on the Black market for usually 3x or 4x for what they were worth.

Shovette. Growing up 80s we had a WK to get a $50 car . Outside of town we had a place called chevette trails. Small dirt woods track. Where people partied and raced

Why aren't the Mach-E and Cybertruck on this list ?

I myself always drove crummy cars because it was what I could afford . Most of the American made cars mentioned in your video could be seen parked at my place. Had a lot of fun , and learned a thing or two about keeping a 25 dollar car going one more miles? Ever drive a Dodge Colt or an AMC Gremlin ? Totally not missing anything.

12:44 which is why you held out for a TR8 - with the Rover 3500 (ex-GM 215) engine, even though it STILL had Lucas electrics in it, at least could get out of it's own way when it was running.

A friend has 2 Seabreezes I drove it , taking off in one reminded me of a go cart . You had to push the gas pedal half way down to move. After driving our Santa Fe it felt very slow. For a Mopar guy, I guess your convertible version of 6 cylinder Camreo.

My black PT Cruiser was an amazing car which I loved. I lost it when my daughter was hit while learning to drive by a woman blasting through a round about. I loved that car and it was because all cars today look the same. It’s just sad. I now drive a 1965 Chrysler valiant AP6. Edit the Pinto being dangerous because it has a fuel tank at the back 😂 every car has a fuel tank at the back.

Can't argue with much on that list except maybe the order. Some I noted before I watched, not on the list, were the Isetta, Catera, early Skodas and Fairmont. I thought Yugo was going to be #1, but the Trabant definitely deserves the crown.

One thing about the Pacer was that if you were the child in the family and had to ride in the back, it was comfortable and the visibility was great. That being said it spent more time in the service bay at Lochmandy Motors than it did in our driveway. The Mustang 2 was a fun car to drive. Mine had the bombproof 171 V6 with 4 on the floor. The wiring did suck though and the dash cluster usually didn't work, but sometimes I would hit a bump and the gauges would work for a minute or two. It was easy to work on as well. I had a Chrysler Sebring convertible and absolutely loved it. Of course only paying $600 for it helped. It was comfortable the interior was very beautiful with the wood look accents and the leather. The stock sound system was really good even when the top was down. The drawback was the poor engine design that put a leaky water pump in a position to drip right into the oil pan. Mine never did, but I used to check the oil for coolant before I went anywhere. Lastly my first car was a 79 Chevette Two door hatchback, with the Manual 4 on the floor. I bought it in 82, it would go over 60 mph I know because I got a ticket going 78 in a 55. It had a tendency to blow timing belts. My best friend and I got to where we kept one in the glovebox and we could install a new one on the side of the road in about 35 minutes. Personally I agree with most of your list though. I would add the Dodge Omni, and the Chevy Citation and take the Mustang 2 and the Sebring off.

A common joke here about the Smart: It has the same Crashzone as a Mercedes S-Class, but you are sitting in the center of it.

Some of these were actually pretty decent cars. That gen 2 Challenger was a Mitsubishi, and reliable and fun to drive, You DID miss some real stinkers though. Any Renault (Fuego, LeCar, Dauphine, Alliance) Plymouth Cricket (built in England) Eagle Medallion, Prowler, 80's Chrysler Imperial, Pontiac Fiero, King Midget, Chevy Citation, Subaru 360 & Justy.... and it goes on

Ironically, my Dart was the fastest, most reliable, and by far my favorite car to drive so far.

The PT Cruiser turned out to be a huge disappointment. The 4 cylinder engine was constantly sucking wind trying to accelerate. A real dog of a car. I traded it in after 6 months. It was that bad.

My Chrysler Crossfire...was the most unreliable car I ever owned.

Your history of the Corvair is off quite a bit. The European car producers lauded the Corvair, as it was an improvement over most of what was being sold in the U.S.. It was determined much later to be a safe vehicle, despite Nadir and his stooges thought. Much too late to save the Corvair, though..... should not be on this list.

Dude, I want to know what you're smoking, lol. The sebring convertible was actually a nice car, and really the only well known bad thing about the 90s and early early 2000s chryslers was that 2.7l v6. Not to say all fell prey to sludge, but more than enough did to issue a recall. If I recall correctly, the convertible shares the same platform as the sedan version, they're quite pleasant (I own an '05 sedan (2.4l i4) with 151k miles, it's a nice little granny car that's comfty and quite tossable around corners :)).

My 1974 Dart ate Mustangs and Corvettes for breakfast. It usually had a Porsche or Ferrari for lunch. I had a 340ci V-8 with a 6-pack and a 4 speed transmission. I also had a little help in the engine compartment as my uncle built engines for Don Garlitz's top fuel dragsters. I had just under 700 horsepower.

The Pinto was fixed and recalled early in production. GM trucks with side fuel tanks were far more dangerous than the Pinto.

The Corvair was unfair. Yes, the first model was poor but GM had resolved the issues and the later models were actually quite good. I would love to find a Corvair Spyder or Monza today, especially if it were a Yenko. Also the Cosworth Vega is not bad. Cosworth still builds high end racing engines today and the twin cam 16 valve 4 banger they put in the Vega (only for two years) was an excellent motor. The Vega was a cheap car but with a little work it could be made into a decent car. Today a Cosworth Vega can go for the mid 20s to a collector. Next; The Deloreans were made out of stainless steel... not 'sheet metal'. Also, you missed the crappiest car to ever come out of GM... The Geo!

Dogs of the Dow, now dogs of ideal. Kinda like a stroll thru the dog pound on a rainy day. If only one of these could say the door is ajar….

I owned a 1960 Nash Metropolitan. It was basically an MG Midget with a three-speed manual and an overweight "sedan" body. The back seat was useless, as it was too small for any normal-sized human child, and putting anything there increased the weight and decreased the performance. I was unable to get mine to go over 50, in 4 years of trying. Also, the gearshift was moved from the floor to the column, necessitating linkages that were always locking up on each other. I actually kept a big wrench in the trunk to beat on the linkages with, which I had to do at least once a week. It got great gas mileage, though, in an era when gas cost $.29/gallon.

I see you bought into the Ralph Nader bit Hook, Line & Sinker. Bet that hook had to hurt because it set it in deep. The only problem with the Corvair was that it was a rear engine car and you had to drive it a bit differently. You had to drive it like a Porsche. If you did that you found you had a rather nimble and sweet handling car that was very easy to control.

I really like all of these cars and their designs ironically.

8:09 Never talk bad about the SRT-4 Neon. It is faster than that Audi you have in your garage. 🤣

I look back at my youthful car purchases appreciating the passage of time. My car buying decisions were made out of the cars available at the time.

Hey I never thought the PT Cruiser was that bad ... My first car was a new 2002 dodge neon , had it for 3 years before trading it in ... I still remember it having power windows upfront but manuel in back lol also had to have the alternator replaced 3 times in this three years.
