Can't you just make us another one, next week perhaps if you've got nothing on ;)

It gets me from A to B, and sometimes C at the weekends.
Nice car! I've got the 1.4 engined C4 Coupe VT, and for a base model it's one hell of a car. The cruise control is so brilliant on motorways that I could never go back to a car without it.

In fact, this is the first car out of the 14 I've ever owned that I've wanted to keep for its whole life, and I intend to do exactly that.

Have you had any problems with yours yet? I've had mine nearly 3 years and had no problems, so either I've been extremely lucky, or it's all bollocks what the Top Gear lot say about French cars.

I just wish it was a tiny bit more economical - I'm a frugal driver and I'm averaging 41mpg which I don't think is very good at all.

Mine's just coming up to a year old and had no problems whatsoever so far. Not quite as economical as yours though, averaging about 35mpg :(

Goes like shit out of a greased gun, though!
