We now live in a generation where even entry-level cars and subcompacts are surprisingly well made. It was possible because of a revolution started mainly by Japanese Car makers like Toyota and Honda Many of the mainstream French, British,  and Italian car makers are no more favored by car owners because they neglected issues of quality, engineering and design.  Today’s cars have become more complex, and the owners prefer them to be cost-competitive. Mediocre cars are going out of business. 

In a recent survey conducted by iMotormag, nearly 25%  Brits picked the Allegro as the worst car, even though production of it ended 25 years ago. The Austin Allegro has been described by most Brits as the world’s ‘worst car ever’.  Made by British Automaker Leyland between 1973 and 1983, the car was plagued with so many design problems, it was dubbed the “All-aggro”.
