World's ugliest cars
AOL have included the BX in their list which is the usual puerile and predictable rot. What a shame they haven't any real researchers. Still, it keeps the BX cheap!

<font size="2">Citroens seem to be despised by most so called pundits (although they have to be gracious to the Goddess) which is amazing really. Can't they turn their minds to the wonderful attention to detail elsewhere on these machines - the suspension being one big example of this? As you say it's great for us because we can keep buying them at rock bottom prices whilst they waste their money on more mainstream mundanities. </font id="size2">

<font size="2">It's actually like a good wine, a decent partner or an aquired taste. You have to actually look deeper into the material before understanding its real beauty. I think this has always been the essence of Citroen design philosophy. eventually, once the complexity is understood, its beauty exceeds all others.</font id="size2">

Volvo V60 D4 180
Previous:
BX16RS (two of),
BX19TZI,
Xantia 2.0i saloon,
Xantia 2.0 Exclusive CT turbo Break,
Peugeot 807 2.0 HDi 110,
Renault Grand Scenic, 2.0 diesel (150bhp)
C5 X7 2.0 HDi 160 which put me off French cars possibly forever - x 16
The BX did age rapidly in the late 90's but with angular car design making a comeback (like flares) they look quite with it again. Especially since most of those left have been very well cared for.
I saw a pristine K reg (92/93?) GTi (black) last week and was very tempted to track down the owner and find out how much it would take to part them from it.

Well, lay off the (heavy) right foot then...
Seriously, I average around 48mpg in my TD on a cross-country run. It's a very different story on motorways when the speed creeps up and up - then it drinks like a fish, low 30s or so. Seems that 75-80mph is the critical speed where the car turns dervaholic - a petrol engined Xantia can do better on long, high speed motorway journeys. Keep the speed down and you'll really see the benefit in a TD, as much as 15-20mpg!

Brown cars. Somebody has gone into the showroom and said "I'll have that one please. The brown one with brown interior, brown tinted windows and special limited edition brownwall tyres."
Or "It drives well but do you have it in a virulent shade of buff?"
Then they look after them meticulously so that we're left with all the yukky coloured ones.
