I agree with sam about the old Honda Insight.
- Leaky roof on every car
- Terrible hybrid battery management, absolutely guaranteed to kill the battery
-- The batt management is bad in so many ways, it's almost comical
-- Car is unsuitable for 95% of drivers if the battery dies
- Faulty design of EGR valve (such a simple part yet they got it wrong!)
- Ground straps always break for some reason??
- Lower engine mounts begin to fail at only 100k due to faulty design
- Spoiler has weak mounts which crack and break on every one of these cars
- Even the Trip and MPH//KMH buttons were designed poorly and fail on each car

All that said it's absolutely my favourite car of every type of car I've sat in or driven, including a Tesla Model X.
