#39: Ford Pinto

Price: $1,850

The Ford Pinto, notorious enough to feature in the ‘Worst Car Ever’ series, is widely criticized. Experts advise avoiding it due to its tendency to ignite from its rushed production and fragile fuel tank design.

Over 100 lawsuits were filed against Ford due to Pinto’s knack for exacerbating minor accidents, causing injuries, and, in some cases, fatalities.
