50 Worst Cars Ever Made

50. 1971 Chevy Vega

Back to the US. Back to the 70s. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

The Chevrolet Vega has perhaps the most dramatic story arch of any car on this list. With its lightweight aluminum alloy engine block and unique inline four-cylinder design, it initially received great praise—even getting Motor Trend magazine’s Car of the Year award during its introduction in 1971. However, those glory days didn’t last. The Vega had nearly every problem a car could, short of just exploding on ignition: reliability issues abounded, engineering flaws led to part failure, rust was a constant battle, and the safety standards were well below what even the 1970s expected. Unlike the star for which it is named, the Vega faded quickly and for good reason.

"Vega faded quickly"  The ones gearheads  put V8s in were awesome.

Faded into a big rust stain.

My father owned a Renault Dauphine in the late 50s/early 60s. It pretty much was held together with Scotch tape. Rusted out like crazy in those Pittsburgh winters.

He also bought a 1971 Pinto,  which actually was a great little car. Thankfully,  we never got hit from behind! One Christmas Eve, my sister and brother drove the Pinto to a Christmas tree lot after hours,  stole a tree, stuffed it into the car, and made a successful getaway. Good times!

Hah! Not a Studebaker to be seen
