What’s the worst car you’ve ever slept in?

The Rivian R1S has just become the benchmark for car sleeping after a recent overnight in the back during a Massachusetts camping trip. Using Camp Mode to keep the cabin comfortable while listening to rain and writing, the R1S delivered the best overnight experience the author has had in any car.

But if there’s a best, there must be a worst — and the author’s pick is brutally clear. The Scion FR-S was the polar opposite of the R1S in every way.

The front seats prioritized cornering grip over comfort, and while the rear could technically fit an adult diagonally with seats folded, it was a cramped, unforgiving space. Worse still, the FR-S offered no way to block out heat on sunny days, turning the cabin into a greenhouse that could reach temperatures harmful to children.

The author’s verdict: the FR-S was a terrible place to sleep, and the contrast with the R1S only made it worse. Now the question is open to readers: what’s the worst car you’ve ever slept in?

The criteria are simple — you had to be asleep at some point, and the car had to be absolutely terrible for the experience. Whether it was a weekend in the back of a Subaru Impreza sedan or a nap in the rear of a Model Y rideshare, the author wants to hear the real stories.
