The worst of the lot would have to be the Barina/Kalos. 2 star ANCAP back when ANCAP actually meant something. Interestingly you could still get the Opel-based previous Barina in van form as the Opel Combo, and Wheels said it was a better steer than the Daewoo Barina!

I would say I don’t see them often but that’s not true because my next door neighbour has a red one
