Currently driving an 18 ton Iveco truck. With an auto gearbox. Useless isn't a strong enough word.

But for almost none of the reasons you mention, except the last.
It had the potential to be a very good car indeed, otherwise ruined and consigned to a laughing stock by finest BL bodging and "that'll do" attitude.
Its "laughing stock" reputation is very much a later trend and often perpetrated by people who have never driven one, let alone owned one.
By the late 70s, many of the early problems had been addressed and the car was at #5 in the best seller list so it can't have been as bad as people perceive it today.
And with its transverse engine / fwd set-up, front disc brakes and hydragas suspension it was also more advanced in engineering terms than most of its competitors.
The worse car I have driven personally was a brand new 1998 Kia Shuma 1.6L automatic (rental) .
I generally love to drive all sort of cars, big and small, fast and slow, but this one was just bad in every possible way....

What's a Rhodius?

Out of the MB's I'd have to say the original CLC is the worst
There's a pic on post number 20, which you obviously couldn't be bothered to click on.

Thankfully , not in my ownership .
It was traded in to Lyndhurst Motors in Tillicoultry ( VW dealers ) against the Audi 100 - RLS 767P , and I never saw it again
Sadly , I don't have any pictures of the All-Aggro ( never kept it long enough , nor became at all fond of it ) , but here's one of the Audi - which was just such a good car , and ran alongside my Ponton and my 280E .
Utter nonsense - excellent car, especially before 2011. W245 transports 5 people and their luggage in comfort, with the footprint of a Ford Focus. Handling is fine for such a car and the SE ride on decent tyres is fine. They are also proving robust and long-lived. What's not to like?What about the abomination, that is the B class?
