    I wouldn't even go that far.... a huge list of faults after just a few months.

    My clio has never given me a problem, had to replace the multimeter a few years ago but other than that its been trouble free motoring for 12 years.

    I'm quite liking the whole phantombrake in the passenger footwell thing....it would really help when i'm being driven around by someone who drives a little too fast, or a little too close or brakes a little too late...because invariably i'm pressing an imaginary brake already!! (This can't just be me so own up!!) To actually have it workwould be brilliant!! lol

    No, but its still French, and the comments appear directed at French cars.

    The only car I've ever had no end of problems with was a Fiat funnily enough. My Morris Minor was more reliable than that :o

    As a general rule French and Italian cars are built to a low standard, and are unreliable. This doesn't mean that all of them will break down, you may just be lucky.

    JUst because some makes or models of car are unreliable doesn't mean that they all are. It just means that there is a higher proportion of unreliability comared to others.

    You say your mum's 207 has a few things wrong with it. How old is it?

    My parents had a old old Astra That had cable from the foot brake to the slave cylinder, The cable was used to convert from left to right hand drive. Cable snapped while on holiday in France.
