I think the only real black marks against me are the Citroen Dyane and the Prius. My excuse is the Prius was a company car for a business who were into green energy and we had the biggest non taxi fleet of Prius in the UK. (It had to be a Prius and it had to be white.) It was truly terrible especially on any attempt to move quickly. Anyone remember the Austin Princess - Vanden Plas with Hydrolastic suspension, it was like rowing a boat and the gears were in a different place every time. Quote
