The "worst" car I ever had was my 2012 VW GLI. It was absolutely soulless and I almost immediately regretted getting the Jetta over the GTI. I needed a car, the test drive was fine, and I truly thought I would grow to like it more but ended up going the other way. I only owned it for 11 months, and in that time it didn't break down once.

The actual worst car was my 1995 MKIII Golf Sport. It was a neverending pit of problems but I absolutely loved it at the time. 2.0L that leaked oil at alarming rates, brake issues, vacuum locks didn't always work, both of the front wheels were fused to the hub.

I'd still take another MKIII over the MKVI Jetta though.
