Produktbeschreibung

Automakers are as prone to turn out clunkers as politicians are to lie. Their cars may be ugly, misconceived, badly built, diabolical to drive, ridiculously thirsty, or just plain unreliable. So which were the worst offenders of the past 20 years?
In this light-hearted, somewhat irreverent look at the world of cars, journalists Honest John and George Fowler share their combined wealth of automotive experience to reveal what they consider to be the 80 worst car-tastrophes of the past two decades.
Honest John wrote the motoring agony column at The Daily Telegraph for 20 years, and now runs his own website reviewing cars and answering questions, while George Fowler, also known as Motormouth, is Motoring Editor at The Daily Star. No-one is as qualified to dish out the dirt as these two.

Autorenporträt

Honest John wrote the Motoring Agony Column in The Daily Telegraph single-handedly for 20 years, from January 1995 to January 2015, and started his own website - honestjohn.co.uk - in 2000. Having answered around 800,000 letters, emails and 'Ask HJs' from Telegraph readers and devotees of his own website, he uniquely knows what turns the British public on, and off, about cars. He has also compiled the world's biggest car-by-car review section, highlighting car problem areas: if you ever want to know "what could possibly go wrong," have a look, over at honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
