About This Quiz

Buckle up and drive through the questions of this quiz, and we'll be able to figure out which car you really wouldn't want to drive. It's natural to have a favorite car, and it's just as normal to have one you would never want to own. Once you tell us about your driving style and your automotive preferences, we'll be able to accurately guess which car you think should have never been created!

Since the invention of the muscle car in the early 1960s, the automotive industry has pumped out thousands of successful cars. It has also unleashed some true failures on the consumer market! Whether your least favorite car is something others love or something others hate depends a lot on the way you feel behind the wheel. Tell us about it and see if we can figure out which car makes you question the sanity of its makers!

You don't need to be a NASCAR driver to know your way around a car, and we don't expect you to know where to find your spark plugs. All we need to know is what you like, what you don't and how you drive! After you fill us in, we'll take our best shot at the car you would like to see banished from car lots. Which one will it be?
