Not a diesel, they will ban them from French cities (where I live), I don't want a car I can't use in 5 years. I already have a 1999 motobike I can't use in town coz it is banned.
You should get on the streets and throw rocks at les flics.. Can the government just "ban" old vehicles.. or just the newer ones (the old vehicles gradually disappear).
I will try the 95bhp petrol next week, I'd imagine it is ok for sitting in traffic jams or crawling along at 10 mph - which is my daily commute. I don't really have a need for performance as such, I'm banned from overtaking if the missus is in the car anyway.
Yes... I'm tempted by a Tipo for my commute which is just a bit of motorway and then small lanes. My average speed (on the computer) is about 30mph/50kmh. But we don't get the 4-door here... just the hatch which I'm not very keen on..
Does anyone know if the Tipo body is Galvanized? It seems the 500s and Panda are still treated but not sure about a cheapo-Tipo.
If the metal is not actually galvanized, it will be rust-resistant steel. I imagine the rear wheel arches and sills are galvanized.. but potentially the floor isn't. Anyway, it won't rust seriously for more than 10 years. I don't worry about rust on new cars any more.
