FYI, Peugeot and Citroen use the same floorpans and engines. Citroens just tend to have softer suspension setups- but the performance is the same.

Wasn’t sure what to do with this one. I went for “which would I prefer in a straight choice”, except for #1 when I went for the one with the most amusing name.

Since I don’t know anything about cars, I just went with the ones that I thought more people had heard of. 😛

I didn’t think so, but we must be applying different logic (assuming I was applying logic) in making that determination.

I was limiting it to 2-3 choices per question, and picked which ones to include/exclude according to whatever occurred to me at that moment.

I didn’t know that. It was one of those behind the Iron Curtain mysteries.

I hate soft suspensions and consider that part of performance, in the sense of how the car reacts when I take it tight through a corner. But to be fair, I’ve never driven a Citroen, I’m taking it on trust from an English friend that’s a big gear head.

As (IIRC) the adverts used to say, “the lion goes from strength to strength”

Citroen used to be big on their special hydraulic suspension for cushioning the bumps as you drove. Only the bigger models have anything like it (I’m not sure if it’s even continued now) but the reputation I guess of the company is in building cars that feel quite pleasant on the road.
