We have listed some of the worst cars that have ever been made, so keep reading to find out which ones you should avoid like the plague when buying a car.

The 2004 Chevy SSR

“Super Sport Roadster” – that is what the SSR stands for. However, when the Chevy SSR was released, consumers realized this car wasn’t really a super, sporty roadster. It was actually a slow and heavy failure of a car that had a shiny retro design. It seemed like Chevy only cared about what the car looked like and hadn’t put much thought into what would go under the hood. The car’s body was just too heavy for the engine, which resulted in a sluggish performance a lot of critics described as lazy. As quickly as it was released, this car was put to rest.

The Pontiac Aztek

One of the most universally despised Pontiac cars, the Aztek was widely hated by car lovers as soon as it was announced. According to critics, the car’s design itself didn’t make any sense, especially the front end that is shaped quite oddly. It also didn’t help that plastic was used to make the body instead of something safer. Once Pontiac announced the Aztek’s features and price tag, it became clear that the crossover was doomed. People simply didn’t want to pay for the underwhelming design and unimpressive performance. However, you have to give it the Aztek. It lasted five years despite being such a poorly-selling car.
