In order of cars I have had...

205 - Engine failed
306 - Suspension fell apart all the time for now reason, the wheel fell off at one point, literally spent over £1000 kepping it on the road
205 Gti - Rarely ran right
106 Rallye - Best car I have ever had, had it 3 years bought it for £3900, sold it for £3800 and only ever replaced the tyres.
Laguna 1.9DCi - Fell apart, engine was slowly blowning up, turbo failed, gearbox failed, cost me £1500+ to get OK, then flooged it on the cheap at a loss of £1900
Current company car has had 31k put on it so far in a year and is going strong, although I ground it out coming out of a site the other day and its been making funny noises since.

I hate cars and will never actually own one ever again lol

Perhaps you should only hate French cars? there is a lesson there for all of us :smt074

Indeed this is very true. The problem is they used to build the only fun drivers cars out there........now they arnt even capable of doing that.

I would always make sure that I have access to a car, even if I didn't own one.
Purely because I'm also a Mountain Bike fan, and unfortunately, you can't get bike racks to fit on the back of Motorbikes! lol.

At the moment I've got a Toyota Yaris TS. Lovely little thing; reliable, very powerful for it's weight (Same 0-60 as a 2 litre Ford Focus Sport) and practical too.
Also handy for transporting motorbike parts when needed :p

At this point I would have forgotten about ever buying another Peugeot.

But you went and did it again. Congratulations, you win the "Lozzo award for brand loyalty in the face of blatant adversity" other wise known as "The stupidity award".

Good move, but if you go back on your word, buy another old Peugeot and keep us all amused, ok.
