The DS's were/are lovely cars, albeit maintenance-intensive. I'd also love to have a 2CV to play with

Worst: I'd have to add any mid-1980s GM 350 V-8 cars to the list. Neither powerful (choked down with primitive smog equipment, get 150 hp on a good day), nor reliable (father's Olds wagon cracked the heads at 50,000 miles), nor economical (15 mpg on a good day).

I would also love to have a DS to work on. Design wise, they are incredible. I do know that the maintenance is a bit crazy on them with the hydropneumatic system but I think it would be worth it.
