>I had a hire car recently, while damage to my car was being done (on the offender's insurance). It was a Peugot 308. I'd thought I'd like it (as I'd hired a 307 in the past) but I hated it. One of its many unergonomic problems was that when I had the steering wheel adjusted so my arms weren't at full stretch (I needed the seat right back) I couldn't even see the indicator (signal) warning lights, or the bloody speedo for that matter, obscured by the wheel.

The French probably make a special version of the Peugeot for the English market, designed to be especially aggravating ;-)

I smiled at your first sentence -- so you took your car to have damage done to it? (channeling Dragan again)
