tightish single lane country road, going about 55/60, came round, back end started bumping so i kept it at that speed and it stopped, seemed fine, then weirdly as i was coing out of the corner, the back end just spun out totally.
had thin assed BMX tyres on it, was a cheapo model.
took my corsa b sxi round that very same bend the same speed the day i got it and it was absolutley fine, stuck to the road.
Yeah so it wasnt the car then, was you going too quick cause it woudlnt just step out, ( i know they do cause ive got one but you learn to control it ) and the bmx tyres lol.

S1 106 diesel non turbo. Was the slowest thing i have ever driven or been in, i got over taken by a fucking cyclist.
Or maybe a 406 tdi estate, that was horrid, the steering was so light, and just a bit of a boring crappy feeling barge.

65bhp isnt bad for 1.1 and handling of any 106. Better than most other 1.1s our there.

Ford Ka (no idea engine/model etc.)
Back when I was learning to drive you could hire these with dual controls from Arnold Clark. I could drive fine as a learner, but these cars were utterly shite!!

worst is a metro 1.0 with brown interior
i recently drove a 2.0 corsa which was a deathtrap like dave a says nothing like my 2.0 which is actually pretty good.
when you braked it seemed to want to swerve, and felt nervous under heavy braking not nice at all

AXs are horrible to drive I found. I also hated the drive in the new C2s.
