1986 Citroen 2CV Charleston 602 petrol

Summary:

Expensive love affair

Faults:

Stop lights switch broken.

Heating hoses needed replacement.

Exhaust has 3 holes.

Great number of bulbs.

Three batteries.

Suspension needs serious work.

Chassis was fixed (the car bended)

Rust problems despite the new paint.

Wipers mechanism is almost dead.

When raining, the floors are flooded (again the wipers)

Broken driveshaft.

Breaks loosing pressure.

After 35 000 km I had to replace the engine.

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
