A few of us on here like a little French car

Generally don't get French cars and certainly not little ones

This.....Our Renault Megan was very reliable engine wise but was made of baked bean tins, fell apart and had electrics and build quality that make the Italan cars feel like German cars. Hateful cars......

It’s not small but I love these. Drove one for the mag in Ireland and it was great, like a W123 Merc but interesting to drive.

that looks quite nice, farther in law had a 505 estate many moons ago with the 3rd row seating, remember it being quite a roomy car

Egypt is still full of old 505s.

Watched Munich last night and saw so many old cars tootling around the scenes in Europe... then Atomic Blonde with lots of old German cars... esp the Audi V8, one like I had back in the 90s.

Don't get me wrong there are a few French cars that tempt but there all bigger, a 505 GTi, 504 Coupe of Cab, even the C6 Citreon.I think the only small French I had lusted after if a 205 1.6GTi had one as comp car back in the day. Replaced it with a 1.9 version which was much quicker but just didn't have the delicacy of feel in the handling more brute force.
