Exactly. So why doesn't everyone drive a Citroen 2CV? They're economical, cheap, and according to something on telly last night, not very easy to roll over, should you get a bit agressive in the corners


Convertibles have a certain air to them though.. No pun intended... my mum drives one, and it's quite nice to breeze about (again, no pun intended) on a hot summer's day with the wind rushing around you
