    I you think they're not reliable, keep in mind the Citroën C15, the Peugeot 404 and 504 exist.

    And technicaly they're SUPPOSED to be cheap

    I can tell you that there are way much more cheap cars around that are more reliable. But to be fair, I respect your opinion, and of course, I can't change your mind about that. But my opinion is final and won't change, although I only change my opinion when I recognize a mistake in my part.

    After thinking a bit , i also agree a bit with the unreliability of some french cars like the Citroën SM , the M34 , M35 , and the Peugeot 807

    Well, he did that without rear tires. I bet he can't do that otherwise. The guy with the truck did burnouts with all the tires.

    But, as you can clearly see in the video, the truck has wide aftermarket drag racing wheels with drag racing tires, which are extra grippy.

    What he meant is that this s**tbox can only do reverse wheelies because they have good wheels to do that, but can it make donuts like the RWD cars?

    The frnech car is so weak it needs to remove the tires, therefore eliminating grip, to do donuts. The American truck can do burnouts with extra-grippy tires.

    french cars are really nice, except the older ones (idk from 1990-2015). french cars are known for electrics issues. we own renault espace MK4 from 2007 i guess and it has some issues.
    first of all we had one situation where espace refused to start. we thought that card reader was messed up. I replaced it and guess what. it didn't work. we gave up.... it ended up working after taking battery ummm (u know that metal rings forgot how you call it in english) and it works... it also have the weirdest hand brake. after i switched gears to neutral using emergency button hiden near the gear lever we tried to release hand brake. it didnt work. then i turned on headlights by accident and parking brake was finally able to be released. WEIRD

    French cars are tiny; I'd never fit in one, as I'm 6'2".

    the alpine is a smaller car, and the megatrack is insanely rare.

    I highly doubt you would not fit in a single french car.
    May I introduce you to vehicles like the Renault Master? Extreme example but still

    Back in my high school days, I used to go to school in a Renault Master, it could fit me well, until my legs decided to grow up. At the end of high school, I was 6' tall and couldn't fit in there that well, and when I didn't grow anymore at 21 years old, since then I'm 6'2". So, no, you won't fit in a van like that very well with your height. Maybe try your luck in the front row seats, but y'know, it was tight space for me and a guy who, back then, was smaller than me (he's 4 years younger than me and he was taller than me when I was measuring 6'1" at 18 years old). The driver of the van, however, was smaller than average, so he could fit well in there. I remember a guy measuring 6'7" not being able to fit anywhere at all, his legs were so big that he damaged the interior passenger panel in the front row. I know, he was just over 2 meters tall, but still.

    Citroen Ami would like to:
    - Know your location
    --- Post updated ---
    For me, it’s kind of a „A or B, I choose C” situation honestly. Idk maybe I just like german cars too much.
