I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Maverick in discussing worst cars. 
I'd mention Fairmont as well.  And while we're at it, there's also Pinto,
since though it is small enough that you have to squat to get into it, I've
driven trucks and busses that were easier to steer.  But for all time worst,
Chevette probably wins, followed closely by nearly any AMC product; after all,
what other carmaker do you know that has changed its official public name twice
in twenty years, just to get away from its own reputation?

  As for best,  my favorite car is not a big performance machine, just a very
nice and practical piece of transportation.  I wish they still made it: Nova.
I don't know whether the new Nova the name is anything like it, but that car
was great.  Easy to maintain, not too small, not too big, it would get up and go
when you wanted it to, but it didn't guzzle gas.  You can have your Ferraris
and your Porsches, I can't afford them.  You can even have your Volvo, I can't
afford it either.  Just give me my American dream car.
Sorry to be so... practical.  Well, not really....
