They are like an evil woman.

Beautiful on the outside.

Ugly on the inside.

Only Peugeot would put the spark plugs at the bottom of a deep well in the heads. Every time you go through a puddle they fill with water. I had to carry a length of tubing to siphon out the water so I could get restarted.

Oh, and as a special bonus, the wells are 1 mm too narrow to accept a spark plug wrench...

As for Renault, what idiot uses a piece of wire to push a stiff mechanical action? (Guess what kinked into uselessness the first week?)

My brother in law works at a company in Europe that overhauls military aircraft from Europe and Middle East. He says the mechanics hate the French jets, because they are so hard to work on. Typical of the French, if the Americans engineer something one way the French will do it another regardless of how awkward it is.

A perfect example was the LeCar. It was front wheel drive, but it didn't use a transverse engine like every other car in the world. I'm surprised they didn't use 4 tires of different sizes on each one.
