Citroen C3 Pluriel - a badly conceived unreliable piece of junk which wobbled if you drove over a white line and leaked like a sieve. The Peugeot 1007 was similarly pointless with its silly electric doors and centre of gravity somewhere in the stratosphere as a result. The Neon made sense in the USA where it cost about £6k, but in the UK at over twice that price it was a bit of a joke.

Andy , What is the TS clamping down on , people fixing cars ? Lol What if a cat D or C was to be classed as a cat B not to be returned to the road . Insurance premiums would double as the insurance company's recope half their losses selling Ds & Cs . What would that do for the car industry ? Think the real problem lies more with the main dealers not just charging excessive labour rates and mark up on parts and not having the trained staff to fix the likes of parking sensors and air bag replacement . So a car with light frontal damage that has parking sensors that the main dealers can't fix and give a warranty now has to be classed as a cat D . Main dealer also takes forever to fix the simplest problem cause the insurance company is paying for a hired car that the dealer is again charging three time regular rental rates . So the guy with the know how to replace air bags sensors is the target of TS . Don't think the TS will never stop the insurance company's selling Ds & Cs to be returned to the road or ever stop some one fixing a car Did you know that soon a lot more cars that have damage as classed as a cat d today will be unrecorded . In fact this is already the case . Q And who passed this ? A TS Insurance company's are banks , banks are big and get what they want think they have proved that to the tune of 85 billion of our money . So don't think TS will stop them being part of cat Ds or cat Cs returning back on the road it would cost them money and bankers like money . And beside that , I doubt many main dealers could tell what a cat D or C is before or after fixed . Could he tell why it is a cat D not a C . You cant tell 60% of cat Ds after being fixed not unless you go in to the bar codes of the new parts to tell that they are newer than the car .the other 40% may have had panel damage and bad paint job would be the tell tail . There has never been a case where there has been a criminal injury case caused by a cat D or cat C car sold to any one . So what do that tell you , it is all down to money . If your in the market for a cat D that my forte.
