In their own words

Now where do I start? This has got to single-handedly be the best automotive creation to have ever graced the earth. Its small and agile, it feels just like driving a lawnmower but a bit less powerful. The engine is definitely there, as you can tell from it absolutely screaming once you hit 2000rpm and bouncing it off that sweet sweet redline. Love that sound of all them fine French ponies, phwoar!

The seats are top notch. I've driven many miles and not fallen out of one yet. There's not much more to say about the interior. Everything rattles, keeps me awake after grafting all day at work when the 4 energy drinks fall short.

The exhaust has a note that just hits differently. When I hear that noise, it sends shivers all over, it just makes me want to go home to the mrs.

The bodywork was really an innovative design from our snail-munching buddies. By manufacturing it out of tin-foil-thick steel, they have really saved on the weight of the vehicle, which is useful when going back to the aforementioned beast of a 1.0 engine. I especially like how it was designed to rust after a few rust away, meaning that I won't have to sell it shortly as there'll be nothing left.

To conclude, the créme de la créme of French engineering is a must-buy. Coincidentally, you can purchase mine for a small fee of £2500. Thank you for coming to my TED.
