General Comments:
One of the great Citroen's
Looks great, like nothing else
It is a special feeling driving it
Great for corners, when you get used to it
Great car for trips into the country
Great for off road
The police won't stop you when you succeed in breaking the speed limit (they just laugh)
It has got simple mechanics
It is a Citroen
It is a 2cv.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
