Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson in his column in The Sunday Times named the ten worst cars, in his opinion, that he had to drive in 2015 and 2016

The leader of the anti-rating was the Vauxhall (Opel) Astra SRi NAV. The only thing Clarkson remembered about this car was that it was "red and turbocharged." The host believes that such a car would suit those who just need "wheels and a seat."

The second place went to the Infiniti Q30 Premium Tech. Clarkson did not like the 2.2-liter diesel: in his words, the engine runs too noisily. "It seems the only task of this engine is to turn diesel into noise," the journalist jokes. However, he praised the car's appearance: "At least it looks good."

The top three is rounded out by the Skoda Superb SE L Executive. Clarkson calls it a cheaper version of the Volkswagen Passat. "There is no more soul in this car than in a refrigerator with a freezer," is the TV host's verdict.

The list of losers also includes the Zenos E10 S, Renault Kadjar Signature Nav, BMW X1 25d, SEAT Leon X-Perience SE Technology, Nissan GT-R Track Edition, Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDi, and Hyundai i800.
