That "don't buy French cars" nonsense goes back to the sixties and seventies. I don't think there's anything wrong with French cars these days. There's an article in The Mirror about a Citroën Xsara Picasso with a million miles ( 1,609,344 km) on the clock and still going strong. My experience is that they are no less reliable than other brands.
That awkward moment where the new Captur is launched in SA just in time for us in Europe to get the mid-term facelift. 😂. On a serious note, I think it is a very good value for money package compared to its rivals.
@@MrWhatauchever not quite. The version that is being launched in SA was already launched in Europe about 3 years ago. It is the initial version of the second gen. There are already photos of the newer one circulating in our media.
Renault has always had a 2 year delay with most of their new models in SA for reasons that makes no sense. I was interested in the Captur when it launched in Europe and after inquiring with Renault SA they indicated we would only get it after 2 years. WTF?
Go and test drive this vehicle...This is an amazing engine produced in collaboration with Daimler for some Merc, mitsubishi and Nissan cars just tuned differently. I bought a demo and none of its so called competitors come close from a value proposition. Lastly the fuel consumption is not as ridiculous as some of its larger sized competitors. I currently get 7l /100 in town and 6l/100 on the road.
Just like almost HALF of the fuel price is tax almost half of new car price is tax - so in real terms new cars are actually worth about half of the asking price. But lets focus on boot space.
