Yep citroen have produced the first production car fitted with He-Man dual controls as standard
The perfect car for nervous passengers and backseat drivers.
I really want to get a lift in a C3 now so i can play tricks on the driver, would be brilliant fun.....................
Not really worthy of watchdog to be fair, neither was toyota's 2deadly runnaway car" which turned out to be the mat getting wedged under the throttle , of course with nearly 80bhp its no wonder the brakes could not overcome the epic power to bring the runaway car to a stop

I disagree, and if Citroen UK took things like this seriously, and recalled the vehicles in question promptly, they'd avoid the bad publicity that results. Unfortunately, they'd rather bury their heads in the sand.Deanxm wrote:Not really worthy of watchdog to be fair

They didnt find out that the airbags go off without warning or the wheel nuts were made out of cheese, the problem is if the passenger kicks his foot through the carpet up under the dash then you can apply the brakes, thats like saying if your passenger reaches through the steering wheel then the driver looses the ability to steer.
besides i dont like watchdog, it serves no purpose other than to whip everyone up into a frenzy for no reason whatsoever.

They had it before with the Mini, where one owner had problems with her car and the courtesy car dropping their windows.
BMW gave her a new car in the end.
Ok so a reasonably useful story with a decent outcome from the company.
Except they then went on to show a woman who was complaining that the long grass on the country track she lived down was producing a burning smell as it brushed against her cat. Well how is that BMW's fault? Mow the damn grass or buy a car with better clearance!
