Good Points

Fab fuel economy, easy to drive (once you adjust to it), summer soft-top fun, as simple as they come. Cracking club!


Bad Points

No pulling machine! Cold in Winter. Not very powerful (29bhp). Friends will laugh at you!


General Comments

Ok so maybe a 2cv is not a City car seeing as how it was originally designed for French Farmers but I love threading my way through the traffic of Birmingham where its feeble power is not noticed so much. Suprisingly, you can hurtle along at 70mph as long as there are no hills and the fantastic air-cooled engine can cope with pretty much anything you throw at it. Designed in the 1930's and I'm still driving it today! In preference to my Subaru Impreza!

The most fun you can have without losing your licence!

    Hi there I am Dan fow,
    what a great review on this 2cv6. I think it is quite a valuble car even though the break horse power is a bit low.

    The review and your comment are right on target! I drive a 2CV6 Club (bright red for visibility) over country roads all summer and receive constant comments and curiosity. But we completed a 2000-mile trip in 2004 across 6 US states, several mountain ranges (including the Rockies) with no problems. Clipping along at 60+ mph was no problem. The 2CV is greatly underrated (except for power) and lives up to its nickname of "not so much a car as a way of life."

    I had a 2CV Dyane 6 for about 8 years, and agree with your comments. I loved driving around France in it as you were assumed to be a native until the viewer noticed the UK plates or the steering wheel was on "l'autre côté". I never recall heating being a problem provided the muffler was put on over the grill. The hot air came straight off the exhausts and it was only seconds before the demister was active. The trouble was, it was weighted towards the passenger side as it was never converted to RHD. It was definitely way of life, and it was great to slide the seats out for a picnic or to roll the roof back to transport a wardrobe or giant flat-pack from IKEA. However, greater efficiency, reliability and safety, lower maintenance (those king pins!) and a quieter journey is easily affordable today, though the astonishing comfortable ride still takes some beating. It's a shame that there isn't really a modern day equivalent.
