France is, perhaps, best known for the Tour de France, fine wines, cheeses, romance and nice comfortable, stylish cars.\u00a0 Did you know that French cars are hugely popular in Europe and are a major player in France\u2019s economy?\u00a0 Producing around 1 million vehicles each year, France\u2019s car manufacturing businesses employ over 75,000 people.\u00a0 The French know how to make cars with a unique and distinctive style.\u00a0 Many design awards have been given to both Peugeot and Citroen cars.<\/p>\n

Citroen has a number of very classy vehicles.\u00a0 Providing both passenger vehicles and vans, Citroen has a model for most market segments.\u00a0 Kicking it all off is the Citroen DS3, a performance hatch with hot looks and a great engine.\u00a0 Featuring direct petrol injection and a turbocharger, the e-THP 160 motor develops a maximum power of 121 kW at 6000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque between 1400-and-4000 rpm.\u00a0 This is a similar size to a new Mini, providing loads of style inside and out, while being quite cheap to run and enjoyable to drive via a slick six-speed gearbox.<\/p>\n

Citroen C4 models are elegant (although calling the C4 Cactus elegant would be doubtful) and cover the mid-size hatch, people mover and cross over vehicle segments.\u00a0 These are roomy, comfortable vehicles that are extremely efficient and provide both diesel and petrol versions.\u00a0 The Grand C4 Picasso is one of the best people movers in the medium people moving segment.\u00a0 Very luxurious, stylish and safe, it\u2019s a great way to travel in small groups.<\/p>\n

Renault\u2019s involvement with Nissan is a good thing and the combined efforts has benefited both parties very well.\u00a0 Most new Renaults come with a comprehensive 5 year\/unlimited km warranty on new vehicles.<\/p>\n
