It really knocked me off my socks to hear the opinions expressed on this brand. I've had Citroëns for at least 40 years. Right now Citroën holds the WRC title and has done so for 9 straight years with Séb Loeb at the wheel. The DS, the XM, the Xsara and the recent DS3, and C5 and C6... especially the wee C2 are amongst the most amazing experiences in the world of driving. The C6 has the most advanced suspension in the world, as Citroën has always had since 1957! Citroëns and Reanaults and Pugs have been rolling the streets and country roads of the world. Not all Citroëns are the sturdy and unbreakable (very rust-prone) CV2. I'd love you to have a talk about this car. I think, sometimes, people take your words as definitive because of your knowledge. And I believe this time, on this particular issue, you may be wrong. Last year I went all the way from Mexico to Quebec in a 1971 Citroën DS 23 Pallas and we never had any concern about the car breaking down. Good maintenance keeps these things running forever. And, for the person calling, there's a really good source for all Citroën related things in the States: http://www.citroen-ca.com/
