>I drove both those cars (Citroën 2CV and a Renault 4) and were fun, but I would not call them comfortable :D In the 2CV (at the moment a 30 years old car, 1960 model or so), which apparently was not known much in Brazil, we drove from Buenos Aires to some south Brazilian beaches, some 5000 km round trip) and we were stopped by some road police, who were trying to fine us for not wearing seat belts, so my friend, who was driving at the moment, pointed to the roof and told him "and where do you think the seat belts should be attached to? To the roof?" (the roof is a cloth roof, not metallic, for those who do not know the car) The policemen laughed and let us continue, to one of the better vacations I had :D Unfortunately, even thou the car was good in gas consumption, every time we filled the gas tank, we needed to buy and feed the beast with motor oil, so the trip was more expensive of what we thought and we could not reach Rio de Janeiro :(

Yeah and I forgot to say the car was loads of fun :). The 2CV is basically an umbrella on four wheels (as they called it in the beginning), and is the only car in the world which looks equally charming before and after a fender bender. The R4, OTOH, looks as if it was designed with a spade. The ultimate insult to a R4 driver is when a passenger confuses the shift handle (which sticks out of the middle of the dashboard) with an umbrella handle.
