Well perhaps going against the grain a little...I have a Citroen Diane(with sun roof ) which now has 540'000km on the clock. As good as new and hell I have never so much as changed a tyre on it!

A guy at work got a M3 convertible from new and the other day it literally blew up damaging his house, his other car and the neighbours. Apparently it went in with an electrical fault which was apparently fixed but looks like it wasnt. Cause it was the electrics if they failed while he was in the car it would think someone was stealing it and lock the person in the car. How considerate of BMW

I have a Pug and it has been perfectly ok. Done 40,000 miles on it without a blip.

Would buy another...but I think Jap cars or another VW would be a better idea.

I know someone who works for Citroen and he hates them! Doesn't rate them at all!

He calls them 'Terminators' because they will always be back!

if it is a relatively new model, then it is pretty common to have little problems here and there. usually all coverred by warrenty. Lesser problems as the model matures itself in the marketplace. that includes german and jap cars.

I like french food and french clothes, but would never buy one of their cars. They're all assembled on a Friday afternoon after a wine and cheese lunch.

BRING IT ON!!!!!

Still,at least they aren't held together with Cable-Ties like your name-sake cars are!

NOW they ARE bad cars! Fibre-glass,(Burns well ) Pink carpet glued to the inside of the doors,(Not all I know),Ford switchgear,(Hmm,how much do they cost?),Upside down,LHD Fiesta rear lamp units!(NICE!)

Unlike the Beemers,which are built by Zee Germans,and they do know how to build a Car,so if people were to lose the stigma about beemers and their drivers,they are a damn fine car!

Does anyone drive a SEAT?

Could I tell some horror stories about them! (although I am bound by Zee Germans NOT to,as they own the company,and I could be Zhott for doing so!)
