I had a Laguna Mk. 1 which I found a decent, solid car. Totally bland and uninspiring but did the job it was designed for with few problems. The later Laguna, however, and anything Renault are making today is a total crock, IMHO. Mostly made out of tupperware and full of pointless gadgets that are bound not to work, given the French approach to anything electrical.

I wouldn't touch a ShCitroen with a barge pole. My mate had a brand new Saxo and they couldn't even make the fuel gauge work! My colleague's wife had one where the fuse box melted. Come on, guys, it's I²R - not exactly rocket science. With them being so unreliable you would have thought parts would be readily available but both are frequently off the road for 2 weeks at a time waiting for fairly run-of--the-mill parts to arrive.

As for Peugeot, other than the pure lunacy of the 205GTI I don't think they've ever made a car that I've taken a second glance at. Pure pipe and slippers.

I had heard from a source that the French 'know how to make a good diesel engine'

If thats the case, It's a shame they can't apply their expertise to the rest of the vehicle!

My first car was a Renault 5 GTL 1.3 that cost £150 and half a load of hay!! 

I loved it and totally thrashed it as only teenagers can!! Going round roundabouts as fast as I could, tipped over at 45 degrees was always good for a laugh 

For all that it was very forgiving and kept on going until the rust killed it!!    By then tho it was more filler, ice cream boxes and baler twine than quality French steel!!!

when i worked up in dunfermline and edinburgh over the xmas period last year we hired a big nissan 4x4 thing when the boss was in town.

when he went home 4 of us had to have a peugeot 107 

seriously the angry smiley really isnt as angry as i feel just talking about it. by a country mile the worst car ive ever sat in. finding 3rd was a nightmare. the ride horrible. the greyness and dullness made me feel sick. yet people actually buy these things!!!!!!!! wtf???

makes me wonder how these crap boxes get 1 star let alone an unbelievable 3 star!!!

The 107, along with its Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1 cousins, is one of the best-looking small cars around

What ??, who reviewed it ??, best looking what ?

This reviewer is obviously a kid who has never seen sex on wheels, such as the E type, Ferrari 308GTB or an Aston Martin. I suppose he could say its the best looking cause the rest are ugly. I saw another skoda superb today, its just not well proportioned, the shape is ugly, almost as if they took a boot from one car, a bonnet from another and filled in the middle.Ugh...

Most Vauxhall's look good, the Omega shape is well proportioned and still looks good beside a lot of new cars.

My son in law had a megane T reg, and renault still do the old trick of putting the brake pipe inside a rubber pipe in such a position that it collects water and hence rust through. I thought most car designers knew about that one

Your average Omega owner then. Peugeot like Omegas nice and comfy, pipe and slippers....
