I like it, good buy!

[AJI]

Meh, I would have had something else (SportKa, Fiesta Zetec-S, Suzuki Swift Sport, Panda 100HP, Mini Cooper etc) but I'll let you off because I like your Rallye so your taste can't be that bad

Also, since when was a FWD shopping machine a 'toy'.

A 'toy' is something impractical that is fun, and exists for no other purpose than to provide enjoyment.

A front wheel drive citroen is for getting around in...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

A toy doesn't have to be impractical, but it does have to be fun

A C4 would surely be more of a choice? or a focus STi for that matter? i know it's a pretty low insurance group but don't sacrifice looks/class/quality ect over a few quid, not that I'm saying that's what you did. Meh, it's your taste lol.



This is cool.

Sexy Citroen. And my dad just got his 6th one of these(not at once), so he has a 2.1TD and this 3.0 V6(not this one specifically)

Sounds sweet and can go some.

Bleh, small and french.

I prefer my new car, might be FWD and Czech but it ain't half fast!

If your wondering, which your probably not, its a Skoda Octavia 1.8T 20v SLXi

[Ghost]

I'd rather have a Saxo vts C2s are ugly, slow, ponderous and French
But if you like it that's what matters

[D O G]

WTF do you need that for when you have the sweeeeeet Rallye?

Those C2's ming.

Problems.

[Harold_Shand]

Oohh shhhhit.

Seriously, I was going to make a thread about these telling people of the problems my in-laws have had.

(Please exuse the explanations, I can only pass on what I've been told)

My father in laws C2 is a year old and had some problem with a type of collector box underneath the radiator that was pissing fluid out. Not much, but on a rarely used year old car?

My Sister in law also has a C2, on an '05. Problem with a steering sensor saw the whole rack being replaced for £850.

This week the suspension on one side collapsed whilst the car was parked, she heard it bang and then noticed it was properly off-centre. It's still in now being repaired, estimated at £350.

They sound like a right crock of shit.

Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation.

[MoshizZ]

Had my 1st 4 driving lessons on one.

Excellent, loved it, was petrol and i stalled a lot though

Nippy little buggers.

Wow, I bet that costs a bob or two to insure?

I'd prefer the C3 Pluriel behind it tbh, I don't know why but I really do like them

Saxo does not tick the Ugly box, and it's group 2 or 3 insurance so pretty cheap.

C2 Imo is the better choice over C3.
