Almost ALL japanese vehicles..
All German cars, because their bland, boring, dull and not particularly 'outstanding' at anything.
A relation of mine spent £720 getting a new clutch in a 2008 A4.....
Worth the 'regional managers' status?!
I'll stick to my Panda. £60 for my LuK clutch kit and a few hours work. Can't be much different on that sh*t box.
Rant over, back to being a happy Fiat owner ;-)
I must admit, I'm not a fan of porsches myself, but certainly, the mainstream german boxes are achingly bland. French and Italian car makers have a less than ideal reputation, but they certainly tend to put a degree of flair into their products, something which mainstream german cars frequently lack.
Citroen are back to their quirky best now. The new C3 even comes with a built in dashcam, which is long overdue in cars. Plus those big anti-dent buffers on the side
The lack of hydro suspension and distinct powertrain will always relegate Citroen to a position of a less reliable Peugeot to me.
We have a DS3 it's a very nice looking car but everything on it is a hand-me-down from another usually cheaper car. Dash from a C3 trip computer and stalks from a 307, engine and gearbox from a van. If it hadn't gone rusty, leaked and the dealer wasn't a cretin we probably would have considered a new C3 but the idea of a Citroen is currently much better than actually having one.
My nominations, starting with some Chryslers:
PT Cruiser
Ypsilon
Citroen C3
Speaking of quirky Citroen's..currently rolling this
What do people make of these?
Talking of drivers, I'm getting fed up of customers coming in who think that just because they can buy a Range Rover, Disco 3/4 or RR Sport for Focus money they can run them for Focus money - wrong! No no no - they are serious money pits at the best of times! O.K. rant over for now.
