The Most Unsafe Car Ever?

[GTR-N1]

What's your experience and rating of the most unsafe car you've ever driven??

You don't have to say that you bought it.

1/10 = Most Unsafe

10/10 = Best Safety

[-FIGJAM-]

Ford Pinto... Looked cool until the rear end catches on fire

[-Dukes-]

Hmm, N13 pulsar, I got it for free lol

I'd rate it 3/10, no ABS, no airbags, seatbelts were pretty bad.

I was lucky enough to not be involved in any accidents with it, But i've seen a few with my own eyes that got pretty messy.

One guy tryed to change lanes into a truck. He survived after being in hospital for a couple of weeks.

I saw another where someone crashed into one head on on the freeway cause he was drunk. The lady driving didn't survive.

my old jd camira... rateing -5/10

[Hillzy]

My mate used to have a KE25 Corolla. I'd rate it a solid 3/10.

It was so unsafe it scared me!

[pablo101]

EXA N13, was a very quick little turbo, but very very very unsafe !!

probably a 1/10 lol

ford crappy.......i mean capri

[sh@un]

Jeep Cherokee soft-top a mate used to own, 0/10. Complete and utter steaming pile of shit. No redeeming qualities at all.

Crap steering, crap gear-shift, crap brakes, rock hard suspension (odd for a fourby), bounced all over the place at pretty much any speed, and the finishing touch- the soft top would try to peel back on it's own at around 100 kays, and you had to hold the velco strap where it wraps around the frame to stop it from coming open.

Worst. Car. Ever.

Just about every Sydney taxi! 1/10.

[madbung]

Every Holden from the 50's - 60's atrocious on every level.

They'd be close to the worst cars built on the planet for their time.

But the king of the whole damn shitheap is the Fiat Niki aka Fiat 126...nothing comes close.

The fiat did have a slight go-cart quality about it..but other than that it's a shocker.

The early holdens, if any of you have driven them in stock standard form you'll understand.

0/0 and 0/0 for all

the one i give a solid 1/10 is the ek holden because of its dome shaped windscreen.

its like driving with your nanna's glass's on.

You're Spot On!

Low Speed Steering and especially Low Speed Stability beggars belief!!

I'm waiting patiently on Silverwater Rd some years ago at the lights, ready to turn right onto Victoria Rd.

A Sierra driver turning left into Silverwater Rd doing about 50 I guess, tips the thing over; and then it slides over to our car and stops 2m away.

More unsafe than any Skyline with CF bonnet, no windscreen wipers on a rainy night being controlled by a driver in the passenger seat...

1979 Honda prelude

No ABS, no airbags, shitty seat belts, hand brake didn't work, brakes sometimes didn't work, rust all through the body (badly)

I would give it a 2... I am actually surprised the doors never literally fell off considering the amount of rust it had in there...

[ZENNON]

my cars id give:

3/10: 1986 4x4 toyota hilux

(shit suspension, under brakes rears lockup very easily due to alloy tray, no power steering with play in steering)

7/10: 1992 r32 gtst

(rough ride but suspension is good and awesome brakes, awesome steering, very safe car in comparison)

note: obviously things like airbags and side intrusion bars make a car safer in the case of an accident

but for me the way a car steers and handles makes me feel safe (or unsafe which ever the case might be!)

1985 toyota hilux, fell asleep one day on the way home from work, ploughed into a motorbike i was doing around 60, he was doing 50, all i got was a scratch on the number plate while his bike was parked under my front wheels, he landed in the well side, apart from a saw ass ,he was ok.

I dont get it...

[GTR-N1]

I dont get it...

...something to do with Post #15

When you have a bike under the front wheels, brakes lock up, there's no steering and suspension goes spongy.

Don't take my word for it though...

[v_s_p_e_c]

wasn't there a car that would just explode if it was hit from behind with a bit of speed? i'd say that'd be the worst. Apart from that i once saw a corolla with about 2 feet of mattress foam on each panel so i guess that has to help . . . .

my old mans torana. 1/10. 355 stroker with 6 cylinder brakes and diff. doesnt even hold on idle and sounds like its gonna fall apart
