Chrysler 200 as a rental after someone smoked my Civic, and I waited to get a new one.

The car was... Jiggly? Like the suspension was unsettling, the brakes needed getting acquainted with lest you rear-end someone, and the steering had too much play. It wasn't enough play to convince me something was wrong, it was just shit quality.

No power. At all. Getting on the freeway was an adventure in noise and hope. Everything lagged. Fuel economy was garbage too.

Looked stupid. And my Civic si that replaced it, the econobox with a hot engine, had a luxury interior in comparison, which is saying something.

Horrible car to add to a horrible week.

I had a Lincoln mkz for a week after someone hit my car in a parking lot, insurance said I was covered for a premium sedan.

Worst car I've ever driven. Handled like a boat, was all flash but everything felt cheap and "jiggly" when I touched it.

Learning at the time (2012) that this was a 35k luxury car was mind-blowing. You couldn't PAY me to drive that car again. My 20k Prius blew it out of the water in everything but acceleration, and even then it wasn't behind by much...
