Cars play an important role in GTA games from the very beginning. Not only are they important for completing missions but also for escaping cops. While the series has offered many cars that are popular in the Grand Theft Auto community for their excellent performance, some didn't leave a good impression at all.

The Oceanic is a 4-seater sedan in Grand Theft Auto Vice City that players can often see roaming through the street. While its speed is decent, the automobile tends to flip when one attempts to take corners at high speeds.

Furthermore, this vehicle's durability is less than average, making it unsuitable for completing most of Vice City's missions. These are two major reasons why the Oceanic is one of the worst cars in the GTA series so far.

The BF Dune FAV is an armed version of the standard Dune Buggy, modified for combat purposes. With the help of its single-cam flat-4 engine, the vehicle performs well when going straight.

However, the car lacks armor, making it highly vulnerable to collisions, explosives, and even general firearms. Enemies can easily kill players inside the Dune FAV before they even get a chance to fire back.


3) Perennial in GTA 3

The Perennial is a four-seater station wagon that has been in various GTA titles so far; however, the Grand Theft Auto 3's iteration of this vehicle is the worst. It is one of the most sluggish vehicles in the game.

Apart from its lackluster acceleration, the Perennial also suffers from a low top speed of 93.21 mph. Moreover, the car is highly prone to rolling as well as oversteering issues, making it irrelevant in chase sequences. Other heavy vehicles like the Fire Truck can easily ram this station wagon off the road. All these reasons make it one of the worst GTA cars of all time.

4) Panto in GTA 5

The Panto is a two-seater hatchback in Grand Theft Auto 5 manufactured by Benefactor. While this brand has some of the best rides under its umbrella, the Panto is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Despite its quick acceleration and decent top speed, the vehicle suffers from poor stability due to its short wheelbase. This makes it susceptible to spinning out of control and understeering issues.

The car's durability is also poor, as it can break down after only taking a couple of hits head-on. Among similar options available in the game, Panto is the worst.


5) Manana in GTA San Andreas

Lastly, there's the Manana, a two-seater compact in GTA San Andreas that doesn't have any meaningful use. It has the worst acceleration and a very low top speed (99.42 mph) compared to other compact rides in the game. The car's sluggishness makes it unusable for escaping from the police or simply reaching any destination fast.

While the Manana's ABS and bodywork are decent, its poor performance makes it one of the worst Grand Theft Auto cars of all time.

While players' opinions on vehicles can differ, the ones listed above are some of the worst in GTA due to their overall lack of usefullness. As such, gamers should stay away from them.
