I always asked "have you ever driven or even been in one?" 9 times out of 10 the answer was "No". 'Nuff said...I loved my 2CV as well. Difficult to put a finger on why - I just enjoyed it. A colleague at work had one of those turbocharged Nissan 200 things (140 mph and still accelerating uphill on the Chesterfield -Dronfield dual carriageway) but when I gave him a lift in the 2CV he said, "This is much more fun. I really like it!". But he still swapped the Nissan for a new Sierra Cosworth (which was promptly stolen...).
