20 Cars You Don’t Want To Be Seen Driving
19. Chevrolet Chevette
While it was a best-seller in the U.S. for various years, its no-frills design made it functional, but offered little more.
Associated with stoic frugality, the Chevette was designed to get people from place to place without style, without fanfare, and without speed. Notoriously unremarkable in the engine department, these vehicles did employ vinyl with generous abandon!
These cars were a bit of a hit with new drivers who found that owning one was better than walking to reach their destination. Today, however, one might prefer to hoof it rather than be caught in one of these. With their nearly non-existent back seats, these compact cars could never rationally be called comfortable.
Chevrolet seemed to be telling consumers that an economical car meant zero bells and whistles. While they could make a cheap car, Chevy’s executives simply wouldn’t give customers any extras.
Not particularly revered for handling in winter weather, these cars and their vinyl interiors were not designed with summer in mind either. Parking in the sun could be dangerous, indeed, as many scorched legs can attest!
