1982 Citroen 2CV A review from UK and Ireland
"Citroen 2CV (Mighty Duck), everything else is just traffic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
General wear and tear. Reversing up a single lane hill when visiting my Grandparents killed the gearbox in our first. 2nd was a '92 model, It was stolen and over-turned by animal rights activists after French farmers had burned some British sheep at the bottom of the Eiffel tower. 3rd one was taken off the road after I collided with a Volve estate. Driver's side damage, I came out without a scratch, and after the police came and went, I drove it away. (The Volvo wasn't going anywhere.)
General comments?
Not much in the way of materials, but put together in such a way that car designers are only now recognising as safe and reliable, e.g. Smart, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, etc.....
Chrysler tried to copy it for this year with their "Chrysler China Vehicle", and they couldn't make it work. The originals are still the best.
Best point? It's not boring. It's the most un-boring car on earth.
