Lovely, quite lovely, excellent curves, powerful headlights, good overall exterior, but how about ease of handling?
TC macho,
I believe 307 cc is the model. It is a sporty little convertible. |

Vim,
since its new take it easy to start off proceedings. FREQUENT oil changes are needed. dont OVER rev the engine. put a board saying (no test drives allowed!) follow these procedures handling will fall in place. dont know what the LONG term maintenance costs are though but YOU'll have plenty of new friends!
thansk for the clarification.i thought 307cc is the engine displacement. rather low! |

French cars are nice,
Yet, it's no match for a German motor with a 400 bhp.
If you want to talk about dynamism and road handling,it has got to be a motor from the Bavarian region.
Amazing if you love to speed. At your own risk, naturally. |

Havent seen you in a while Pluto.
yes agree for handling nothing comes close to the germans.
european drivers are faster than their counterparts here even though we have powerful cars and big long highways. pity. |

| TC machang, you seem to be well versed in the art of handling these types of models. A well experienced driver can get the best out of any particular model. I'm sure you would have this little number's engine purring. Ever thought about giving lessons - how to hug the curves and so forth when driving? ;) |

Hi,The popular Canadian
Work and commitments up to the eyeball.
Had to come here to let out some steam. Battling out to get a place at a school for my kids. Been stressing about it a lot. Preference given to those who work for the UN,EU,and NATO.
I'm not one of them. Preying like a Vulture to pounce at the first opportunity. |

| Yes French models are far more stylish and have better design but probably break down quite soon from poor engineering. German models on the other are quite robust, little in the way of flourish or style but with powerful engines that can keep you happy for the long haul. |

TC,
learned our lessons the hard way. No more speeding for some time. Hubby got a point, plus a photograph caught speeding.
If you watch Top Gear on BBC, you would have known what happened to Richard Hammond. He was doing 280mph, 4 times the normal speed had to be airlifted to ER it was touch and go. He seems to be recovering.
I pledged not to put my life at risk at least when the kids sit on the back seats. , |
