I've had Citroens and Peugeots in the past (diesel and petrol) and they have been fine, decent, comfortable cars with no sign of gremlins.

I had a 1.9 litre Clio back in 1994 and that was a great little car; went like stink and was totally reliable.

However, Mrs Jabba's Megane Scenic 1.6 RXE is the most unreliable pile of motoring crap we've ever owned. Electrical gremlins have been expensive to rectify this year and have caused the car to break down twice. Its 4 years old and only done 27k miles.

Advice? Steer clear of Renaults as their electrics are worse than those of Italian motorbikes. Don't think that the diesels will be better than petrol ones because they won't; modern diesels are as complicated as modern petrol cars which wasn't the case when I owned my diesel Clio.

Want a French diesel? Buy Peugeot.
