Must be a trend going on here, but from an embarrassment point of view a brown chevette with upgraded carb and seats.
From a reliability point of view it has to be a Renault Clio 16v, it was 12 months old, the gear selector for reverse snapped, the brakes warped, the electric windows stopped working it used loads of oil, the list goes on! I had it for 10 months and swapped it for a new MY97 impreza turbo. Now that was one of the best I have ever owned.

A 1995 Ford Fiesta 1.3LX, brake like sponges, suspension like jelly, seats that were designed to make you as uncomfortable as possible and sweat as much as possibile and the highly overpowered power steering.

A 1987 Mk4 Escort 1.6 Automatic that was past it's best when I bought it
But I needed a car in a hurry and it was cheap
It was considerably further past it's best when I sold it 7 months later for what paid for it

1997 Astra 1.4.
Old car blew up 2 days before starting new job. Bought 2nd hand astra from nearest garage to work, during my lunch hour. Hated it with a passion. Sold it 1 year later, after being overtaken by a hearse going up a hill. Trade in value badly affected by dents in drivers door from drivers boot.

106 GTI
Head gasket twice and it wasn't like I thrashed it.
Idled at 300-3000rpm when it felt like it (numerous sensors, software updates, etc didn't fix)
Sadly, a cracking car when it worked
Which wasn't often.

The current beater! A 1997 Fiesta 1.something! I've sat in it a few times when the g/f is driving trying to find ANYTHING, no matter how small about it that I like. There is nothing. Not a single switch, characteristic, or part of the car!! I like nothing about it at all.
