Are French cars really that bad?

There are only two types of cars - good cars and French cars

Because they're cheap! They've been comparatively cheaper than the equivalent,ford/vauxhall and Citroen and Pug have been chucking cahsbacks and free insurance over the last few years.Pug were building them in Cov until recently and the City was awash with employee purchased cars at discount...

They sell so well as they are subsidised to the French, and they have such ridiculous incentives to buy them here. No one would buy them for the love of getting one, if it wasn't just a finances decision.

I've done 114000 miles in my 7 year old diesel Peugeot 307. Only needed wear and tear replacements. I love it!

Yes. If by "take delivery", you mean you're the operator of the scrap yard, and about to receive the Clio to have a little bit of smash and bash fun :rotfl:

Sorry I asked.... glad you took note of the request for any positives

The clio is a fantastic car, utterly reliable car, never ever goes wrong.

The truth, they are utter junk, like all Renault's..sorry.
