In very many ways it was inferior to the Renault 4 in which I learned to drive (and of which my father was a serial buyer-over the years he must have owned half a dozen R4's from new)
We never had a 2CV, but Head Office did have a Renault 4 with the push you - pull me queerbox! Good little car, very practical, but without the personality of the Citroen.
P.S. Forgot to say Welcome Alistair!
