I'm going to have to say my EG, but it wasn't really a bad car; it was just an old car. The moonroof switch ended up going out (I, being too lazy to actually fix it, just used the special screwdriver that came with the car to open and close the moonroof lol), the brakes were horribly warped when I bought it, I ended up replacing three wheel bearings (okay, two of them were from the added stress of the car sitting on its nuts), and it was an automatic.
Maybe I'll go buy a Fiero or something so I can tell myself the civic wasn't the worst car I owned.... because it being the worst of two cars really isn't fair.

wow well i've had quite a few,
88 subaru awd station wagon- paid $100 sounded like a fukn tank open headers, just went mudding with it until it died then junked it for $200
85 crx si- got it free paid $40 to tow home, someone put trans fluid in the brake canister, replaced all wheel cyl. and master cyl. drove for a year and sold it 5 times, first 3 buyers stopped makin payments so i repo'd it the 4 guy paid cash in full then after 6 months he just gave it back to me, o i was doin 120 down the highway and the front fenders and grill flew off, it was all plastic.
89 acura legend- paid $10 for it at a dealership.... drove it for along time sold it for $500 all was wrong was the front cv axles were bad, a/c even worked.
88 civic hatchback- paid $300 it was tan with brown interior, it was a dpfi pos so i took a grinder and cut the springs (the right way) no i didnt weld them back, and just drove it slammed if more than 2 people got in it scraped the road, had it for 5 months til we had a hurricane and i went outside to move it cause the water was rising and a big gust of wind ripped my driver door off, bungie cords ftw! i bought a clean 91 shell and put my stuff in it then scrapped the 88 civic.
i have alot more i cant keep cars i had 9 just last year alone, i change them like a pair of shoes.

I've had a 97thunderbird, 96 grand prix, 2000 chevy silverado. 2005 dodge ram < first owner, ahd 2 miles on it when i drove her off>, 96 eclipse Spyder< convertible> 99 civic Si, 90 civic DX, and 97 Mazda B2300.
Worst of them was the 05 dodge ram. Got BRAND new. Drove soft. Had the tranny go out 3 times within 30000 miles. Each time was a ' factory defect in the tranny itself '. Yeah. Sold that bitch!
Next to that was the damn Thunderbird. I told you justin - POS. But nnaahhhhh - Punisher knows nutthin.
The eclipse was third.. the rest were great.

1st car was 1986 Mazda rx7( fun to ride).
2nd car was a VW Cabriolet automatic fun in the sun.
3rd car was 2001 KIA SEPHIA SEDAN( lemon car from the get go) Check engine light always came on and after 2months radiator when out. KIA was total in Florida(hehe).
4th car was HONDA Del Sol Manual (nice car and had a lot of fun) Sold it to a friend.
5th-present Honda Civic 1999. Love to drive on the autobahn where I step on the gas and shift to 5th gear and watch the speedometer goes up and not to worried about speed limit.
