Subject to the proviso about how a Citroen/Pug city car is essentially the same thing as a Toyota Aygo,
you are surely speaking in jest? BJ
============================
my thoughts also - is it a wind-up ??
again looking at which? reviews , the difference between best and worst is
enormous and its crystal clear which brands are guilty.
my own experiences --
3 renault 16 - super car but rusty - unbreakable push rod engines -
renault25 - nice car but engine failed - camshaft starved of oil - bad design
ford granada - nice car - but gearbox failed - then engine failed - then gearbox again.
nissan primera 2l cvt - good car - 150000 trouble free miles.
nissan qashqai - nice car - but (renault ) engine rattles / burns and leaks oil - gearbox whining and jumpy.
so will i buy renault / ford / nissanrenault again ?? no chance !
