The ones I owned that were garbage: MG Midget and Fiat Spyder. Both were, however, the most fun cars I've owned. I had a Ford Grenada rental car for a week or two--it was worse than either the MG or Fiat, because it wasn't fun to drive. There was nothing redeeming about the Grenada. Even the paint scheme, as I recall, was two-tone red and white. Embarrassing to even contemplate.

In the sixties-seventies, in France they were very proud of the TugBoat-style car, the Citroën Ami 6 ... 
The Citroën Ami 6 was even uglier than the Ford Anglia ...

The link to the slideshow seems broken now.
I've never driven a Trabi but I have a soft spot for them because of U2's video for "One."

We used to have a joke in Australia:
Q. Why does a Lada Niva have a heated rear windscreen?
A. To keep your hands warm when you're pushing it.

Yep ...
Is that a Pinto?
If a car stops working completely, you'll never get in an accident with it. It's a safe car.
If a car works consistently poorly and explodes during rear collisions, then it might be the worst thing you'll ever own.

Those or local versions of them are everywhere in South Asia. They call them "rickshaws."

You've got something against wagons it looks like.
How dare you put on this list the closest precursor to the awesome silhouette of the Tesla Cybertruck. The Pontiac Aztek.
I bet you'd include this wagon on your list had you thought of it. I give you the Vega Station Wagon estate.
Or maybe you'd prefer the Vega station wagon GT iteration.
