Worst car i've ever owned is Astra GSi.
it was 95% reliable just made me sleepy.
In terms of reliability the Calibra was the worst, everything bar the 4x4 stopped working

Had some funky runabouts, but its between a 1.5 diesel 106, which was so slow I was scared for my life (had this when I had an xe corsa). OR.... a 1.9td citreon zx, holy shit that thing was woeful. Had to type an alarm code into it to start, the exhaust fell off on the m6, and used row rope to pop it back on by putting it through the back windows

LR Discovery 3 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Everything about the car was brilliant bar the terrible gearbox piece of shit that cost a fortune to fix and never felt confident in it even when it was supposedly repaired.

Fiat punto HGT...
Owned it for about 4 months now.
Gearbox blew up.
Powersteering rack failed.
Car wouldn't start which was due to the inlet falling off because some incompetant garage monkey didn't put it back on correctly Resulting in a £200 repair bill because of having to find the problem...
Shit wiper linkage.
Needs a new cambelt. waterpump and variator which costs about £500 - £600.
Had to get a new Cat and two new front tyres...
Bearing in mind it was in the garage for 7 weeks when the gearbox went because it was warranty work and they were useless...
Currently fighting to get my money back on the car... Worst thing i've owned.

I've only owned 3 cars; Astra 1.7TD, Corsa 1.2 and a 350z.
I still own the Corsa and the Z and I would have the Astra back as well. I've been extremely lucky with all 3.
The Astra had a problem with a slipping belt towards the end of me owning it but it was a minor inconvenience.

This just hurts my feelings 
My worst car was a shitty old XE corsa that my mates put together, only paid £300 for it but everytime I drove it something broke or fell off. I drove it around a session at Trax with my right leg holding up the ecu

PMFSL @ nearly all the bad cars being corsa's 
Worse car I ever had was a 94 Corsa GSi that I bought in 2001.
Cosmetically it looked ace and was in good condition. Mechanically it was a piece of shit.
One of the worse handling cars I have ever owned also.

I've been lucky with cars so far but my ex had a Clio and it was horrible! Rattled like mad and drove horrible. Hated the windscreen wipers as well

I loved the way it looked at it was rare being red, just a shame at the time I couldn't afford to run the damn thing.

1994 Ford Escort Mk5 16. 16v LX
Broke down every 3-4 weeks, and I easily spent triple the amount I paid for it fixing it over a year.
Then wrote it off by driving into a telephone pole at 40mph. Happy Days

not really had a car that was a nightmare tbh,
corsa had a few issues with its alarm (clifford) but wouldnt say it was a nightmare, just niggly issues.
Ibiza - was ok, loved it for the power when i got it however at the end before trading it i had grown to dislike it (handling was awful), probably the car i spent the most on repairs due to wear and tear.
Zed - I loved and still wish i had it, just cost too much to run (however also glad i sold it as the person who bought it has had a number of issues with it lately).
Leon - love it still

My current Honda Civic Aerodeck.
About as exciting as a trip to my nans. Only bought it to move house with and drive to work, so it serves a purpose I suppose .
Corsa 2.0 16v Vegas - Sold
