It's not French. It's made in Alsace, hence German.

It wasn't bad, just mediocre. It still had hydropneumatic suspension, and the 1.9 Diesel is UNKILLABLE.

But it sat 3-abreast. Which meant you could have an automotive ménage-à-trois. It's not that bad.

He's 80, still drives faster and gets more birds than most of us at 20.

"In this car we obey the Laws of Thermodynamics".

Obvious answer is obvious.

You'll only need fuel, water, oil and a hammer to beat out rust. A car to survive the Rapture.

I don't know about the rapture, but after the Nukelar Holokaust I'd drive this.

This is awesome on so many levels taht it's about to implode under the weight of its sheer awesomeness.

IIRC it could be quicker in Bathurst than the Falcon V8...

The mini-Ferrari 456. Gorgeous car, timeless looks. The problem with Peugeot/Citroën/Renault dealers is also similar in Spain (although some of them are quite reliable). Since they're the most popular car makes here, they figure out they can treat the customer like cattle (milking us dry).

The 605 is one of the most beautiful cars of the age in my opinion. I also like the new 508 a lot, I think it's what a big Peugeot should be: conservatively styled, roomy, comfortable, with lots of class and character and not very expensive.

The Renault 4 is unkillable. My father used to have one, before that he used to have a Dyane and after that he had a Peugeot 605. Come to think of it, we've had all kinds of French cars in my family (I own a Clio 1.4 myself), even a Panhard (grandpa).

Because VW exists due to copying the Czechs AFTER they have invented the things, not at the same time.

In fact the biggest problems are in the electric system, the mechanicals are quite good in general. Reliability in French cars is similar to some German makes and models, sometimes even better. For example the Citroën XM, once solved the first electric problems, was a far better car than anything in that price and…

I also have a Clio I bought for €1000 and it runs wonderfully. But the electrics are not up to the mechanicals.

Not just in Diesel trim any more. The new petrol (gas) twin-scroll turbos are also fuel-sipping for its power. In fact small French cars are the most fun you can have for the money... as long as you don't mind horrible reliability compared to Toyota blandmobiles.

... on high-sulphur Euro Diesel fuel.

Is that the Chrysler Corp. Aussie Special?
