The interior looks as plastic as a 1980s Nissan Micra.

Even worse....Almost there with the 80's Micra, but this is much newer as a car, so it makes it worse in my book

Either a rental Chrysler Sebring

or a rental Hyundai Accent.

Frankly, I'd give the crown to the Sebring as the Accent was probably one of the cheapest cars sold in the US at that time whereas the Sebring was competing with the likes of the Accord, Fusion, Camry, etc. yet was such a garbage car.

Bernie Sanders want Americans to drive that. Which is ironic considering how commie dictators leaders love American cars.
Now I'm going to wait for some butthurt Bernie bro hit the dislike button.

I will avoid the political undertone to avoid offending anyone, Democrat or Republican, but communist cars were always worse than the absolute worst the West (even the 70's/80's God-awful American cars) had to offer...
As a trike, the Velorex is right up there, and as a four wheeler, I am fairly confident that nothing matches the awfulness of the Trabant
Volkswagen Kombi or Van. It's like a Beetle, only slower and even worse to drive.
Oh yes, easier to explode as well. The fuel hose was braided and made out of nylon so it would get soaked in petrol. And guess where the "jeniuses" at VW placed the fuel hose? Yup... Right next to the distributor. So any spark and hey presto you've got yourself a nice toasty van...

Well, let's be honest here @slicknick ? Like communism, every commie car was and still is pretty much terrible.

Iron Age technology, dirt cheap to maintain despite frequent (yet simple) fixes, wears dents, scratches, faded paint and surface rust with honour and doesn't mind getting really roughed-up in the wild. A funky ride:

In one huge copper mine in my country they use mainly four light vehicles for internal transport of personal: Lada Niva, Land Rover Defender, Toyota Hilux and Great Wall pick up. All four are dead after 30 000 km (all of them mainly in first gear)(copper ore and later copper concentrate consist mainly of copper and sulfuric acid).

During my undergraduate years I went through a Yugo 45 and an Autobianci A112, in my first professional years I used to drive a Suzuki Samurai and nowadays I've got myself a proper Japanese K-car to drive the 5 km between my home and office. All of those could be described as terrible, when compared with a BMW 3er, but all are brilliant for what they are.

I really liked the Autobianchi A112 back in the day (early 1970s' university years). They, along with most Italian cars, were very popular in Munich of that particular era.

I had mine for a brief period of time, many decades later
When I was a child, we lived in Paraguay a unique market in the world, you could buy (my father did it) a new Austin Allegro (a wheel went out going to 60kph), that scared us so much that after two days he exchanged it for a diesel Morris Marina (Perkins)!! and a week after we had it was so horrible in every way that he changed it again, this time for an Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal V8 diesel (year 82), trunk with electric opening, 4 electric windows, central locking, hydraulic steering, air suspension, 8 speakers, velvet everywhere, full equip, a full wonderful american car.
I don't think that in any other part of the world you had those buying options, from the most bad cars, to that American who was like a dream on wheels

The Trabant 601 became a huge environmental concern in Germany after the fall of the Berlin wall. Lots of Eastern Germans started abandoning their Trabbies all over Germany and the scrap yards were overcrowded with the bloody things. Scientists from a biotechnology company in Berlin developed a bacteria that would consume the Trabant's duroplast in 20 days.
There's no denying that the DeLorean DMC-12 was a shitbox and DeLorean fans like Matt Farah are unbelievably annoying. But the car could've been a whole lot worse if John DeLorean had opted for the 109 hp Ford Cologne V6 engine from the 3rd generation Mustang.
Unfortunately DeLorean went bankrupt in October of 1982 and we never got to see the twin-turbo V6 DMC-12 planned for 1984.
