Re: The Best And The Worst.

I haven't driven so many cars (about 10 cars) in my two years of having a driving-license - but here are my both favourites for best and worst:

Best car:

Mercedes Benz SLK 320 (6 speed manual)



The whole car is just amazing! I love the V6 engine and the manual gearbox was also extremely great to handle (only the 6 speed manual of a Golf GTI is miles ahead)! The handling of the car is also absolutely amazing - you turn the steering wheel and the car goes the way you want...
The SLK is a great cruising machine (you can drive it in 5th in the city), but you can also have a lot of fun with it at the autobahn (It reached 260 km/h - although the official top speed is 245 km/h)!
The fuel consumption of the SLK 320 isn't bad at all (average of 9 to 11 litres / 100km)!

edit: Will add some information about the second best (Jaguar XJ8 3.5) soon!



worst car:

Renault Modus (1.5)

I drove this car, when our 1998 Renault Megane Scenic was at the service! I really hate this car - the design is absolutely horrible and the driving experience was exactly the same!
The car feels unstable in curves and the steering was synthetic. I wasn't able to see the numbers on the digital tacho, when the sun glared into the car.
And also the engine and the manual gearbox don't really facilitate the "fun and comfort" of driving a car!

Re: The Best And The Worst.

yea absalutly the SLK 320 6 speed manual is an awesome car , never drove one but once i remember, a freind of mine (whos a sales man for mercedes benz dealler in LA) picked up my brother with a silver SLK 320 (6SM) for a test drive , and obviously my brother went crazy about the car, and I Loved the Sound of the exhausts. i didnt get a chance to drive it because i didnt have a driving-license .

Re: The Best And The Worst.

Best

2006 Mercedes-Benz S550 (W221)

Everything was just perfect. That's all there is to say, really.


Worst

1996 Toyota Tamaraw 1.5

Wow. Where to begin? Noisy suspension and an engine with ZERO POWER. This thing was so slow to start with, but when you accelerated (which took forever) and turned on the airconditioning, the acceleration just stopped and the car actually started decelerating. Terrible. I think the 1.5 engine made something like 57-horsepower. It certainly felt that way. Terrible car. One of the worst Toyota's ever made.

Re: The Best And The Worst.

Best: M6 and it was at the BMW driver course thing so I really misbehaved

Worst: 1980 Chevette hatchback, no air, no radio, had to pull the turning light up and down to simmulate blinking.
Its max speed was 70 mph with wind on my back and downhill. A true adventure on Florida turnpikes! ahh those college days

Re: The Best And The Worst.

best :

1st- ML 63 AMG: clear ... big, fast , sporty , engine , and i looove the steering feel.
2nd-E63 AMG
3rd-New X5: very similar to the ML.

worste:

1st-the new 328i sedan: my cuzin has the new 3 series sedan , i once took me for a test drive and i was sooo dissapointed, no quality, i hate the looks , i hate the steering feel , i hate the brakes and the power ,, maybe its just me , but everytime i drive it it just gets worse and worse, the funny thing is i try to like it.

there is worse cars offcourse like the honda civic , and a dodge blah blah mini van that i use to drive to work , but i never expected for the new 3 to be that bad. :S
