20 Worst Cars Ever Made

17. Suzuki Samurai

Like the other vehicles on this list, the Suzuki Samurai sums up its decade—in this case, the 1980s. With its diminutive size and cute looks, the Samurai may look like a pretender, but for years it’s been considered one of the most rugged and durable small 4x4s in the world — and it was absolutely savaged by Consumer Reports. Introduced in 1985, the Samurai was a smaller and cheaper alternative to the Jeep CJ-7 and Wrangler models and was a considerable sales success until a 1988 Consumer Reports test deemed it dangerously unsafe for American roads.
