Best & Worst cars of the 80s

What do you think was the best car of the 80s and Why?

Everyone knows the Delorean (with flux capacitor) was the best 80's car. When that baby hit 88 miles per hour...

Worst Car? Hmmm Probably Ford Festiva. Nothing but a "tweaked out" go-cart.

Worst was without a doubt the Yugo.

Know how to make a Yugo go faster? Push it off a cliff!

Know the perfect second vehicle for Yugo owners? A Tow Truck!

Yugo owners don't go for Sunday drives, they go for a Sunday push!

Got a million of em!

That was going to be my choice for worst also.

Best? No clue. There were some nice Lamborghini & Ferraris back then.

Re: Best & Worst cars of the 80s

Yeah, worst was easy. Best is a much tougher choice.

Re: Best & Worst cars of the 80s

Yeah DeLorean was kinda cool. For the 25th anniversry showing of BTTF, they had a DeLoean parked in front of my local theater.

(edit: It won't let me add the pictures until I have 15 posts under my account... so I guess I'd better get to posting.)
I will add the pictures after I've made the required amount of posts.

Where the hell is the Flux Capacitor?


As for realistic cars, I really liked my 1980 Chevy Citation. It ran for 20+ years, although towards the end it was kind of a "death-mobile." I do know others that did not have quite the good experience with their Citations as I did. I guess I just got lucky.


Worst was the Chevette, they were small (as I recall.) Had to shoe-horn yourself into them.

Re: Best & Worst cars of the 80s

Citation??? Best??? ICK!! (Personal Opinion)

Best 80s car in my opinion was the 5.0 Mustang. Not much of a real choice then.

It was an option from the dealer, most people weren't aware of it and missed out, limited time offering.

I really liked the 1985 Monte Carlo SS 5.0L V8 with T-tops

Re: Best & Worst cars of the 80s

My cousin had one! Thought it would lay waste to my 66 Wildcat (with a 425 Cid V8). Short answer, he was WRONG! Nice car though!
