Never fucking buy any French car, it'll explode die fall apart smell make you feel bad AND they are slow and boring/bad to drive around even in a "slow" (city centre) setting.

pictured car is clearly awesome.

Its also English... which is a whole other level of shit car.

French cars over the years, some are fucking tanks that just seem to keep going forever and others are complete piles of shit that with a full tank of petrol would double their value.
Guess it depends if they where striking that day or leading up to a strike, or how drunk they where after lunch.

>a French ((((car))))

French car rule of thumb by design year:
>early '90s and prior: Bulletproof, usually underpowered, will eventually rust to death
>late '90s: decent cars all around, cheap to maintain, parts everywhere since some of them were still built for ages in the third world
>'00s: avoid like the plague, esp. diesels (earlier common rail, dual mass flywheels, DPF, electronics shenanigans... you name it, it will go wrong)
>'10s: Getting better all around, decent cars again (it's worth noting Renault took a dive in interior quality though)

Peugeots are shit and a bitch to work on
Renaults are shit and a bitch to work on
Citroëns are shit and a huge bitch to work on, but dem hydro pneumatics mang

Pretty much the only French cars worth shit nowadays are Citroëns because they have smooth as fuck suspension and are super comfy.
Twingo is a meme car for poorfags, it's a piece of shit underpowered shitbox with the folding seats the only good thing going on for it.
The electronics, even the bare minimum the car has, are quite unreliable and the engines are varying degrees of shit. Car likes to rust out like it was going out of style too.

If you need yourself from point A to point B, the Twingo will get it done for a few months, but that's about it for the little shitbox.

For a car built in 2011, the list of issues is awfully long.

The problem with 2010- is they've not been around long enough to know how they hold up long term.
Building simple cars isn't really done any more, no one does it. That was what the French were good at.

French is a disgusting language.

Thing is the relative rarity of very early massive failure on major organs is a good sign compared to the major shitshow that started around 2001. There have been significant improvements imo.

Is this bait?

I have a 2011 C5, not a single issue so far.
I also have a 1994 ZX, confirmed bulletproof, not really that underpowered either.
