Driving a Citroen makes you weak!
 
Been driving my wife's new ('06) Citroen C3 this week. Everything is light as a feather, steering, gear change and pedals. So, got back in the scoob today and it felt like driving a tank. Heavy steering, pedals you have to really force to the floor and stiff as you like gear change. Surprising what you get used to.

Xsara i had had really quite heavy steering , bro in law even commented on it after he borrowed it once and he and my sis have a 306 which is apparently the same thing

Still I bet it goes like sh!t off a shovel...

Ugly too! :freak3:

Women, eh? What would the mass market car manufacturers do without them?

Subarus have really light controls. Try driving a proper car ;)

Scoob appeared to have heavy steering/clutch? Don't make me laugh....I always hated them for being so feather light. :lol1:

Drive a 1988 Porsche 911 and then tell me what heavy is....thats my benchmark of steering weight perfection. :) The 911's clutch on the other hand needs just a little more effort though....;)

ive got a 96wrx vltd, p1 and a citreon c4 grand picasso i go weeks sometimes not driving the imprezas then when i do it feels so so different. It takes a while to get used to the heavier clutch, steering etc, but love them ,-). Saying that sometimes on longer trips im so glad the c4 is so soft, its like sitting on my setee and driving lol
