^haha corolla, TA, corolla, TA... ah lets break the cycle, contour! woo! lol
for me in order of purchase
03 v6 mustang
92 saturn sl1
02 neon
92 saturn and 02 neon are basically crappy, bottom of the barrel cars for DDs. Definitely cars that neo would probably choose as crap
nothing has come close to the quality of the mustang, or the genius of the design that it is so easy to work on, so enjoy it! not many companies make their cars easy to work on for the driveway mechanics out there.

I forgot 5 cars, added. 
The worst car by far was our Civic.
We paid $3000 and it had a burnt valve that let got a week after we bought it. We lost $2000 on that car. We bought it from an auction, thats the last time we ever did that.

This almost goes without saying... Chevy/Ford/Chrysler/American cars that run over 200k miles will have some wear and tear. Hell, ANY car over 200k needs to be treated with certain care. Toyotas and 6cyl Jeep motors INCLUDED!
Lets return to the real issue:
Ok, I'll admit to being a bit akin to this: I'm mostly broke and recently got a mustang with a problem w/the driver's side window (as a smoker...holy ****...) But the CLUTCH?
Lets look at the function of a car; it gets you from A to B using forward motion, stopping power, and comfort (really not as important as the other two.) Your clutch falls into the first portion of that; unless you wanna drive at about 10-20mph (with your engine roaring the whole way) you'll need a transmission and, with a manual, a clutch. I may have to smoke out of the sunroof for a week or two, but you're not going anywhere...
Ford didn't create this problem, you did.
Lets return to the real issue:
the only thing im kinda lean on about is the car was a rebuilt in 2008 and the guy i bought it off says theres a new motor and clutch in it but theres a noise comin from the clutch everytime i press it he told me its the spring but others r tellin me its the throw out bearing.
