Oh, you were talking about pre-80ies french cars... Yeah, I remember my dad telling me those were known to rust almost immediately, and they apparently (to his perception, based on the cars we owned) not only got their act together, but excelled at it, somewhere end of the 80ies/beginning of the 90ies. And that is true, the BX has considerable plastic parts (although only the front hood and the front mudguards, which is awesome if you ever bump something, nothing happens!), the non-visible chassis is still metal and very rust-safe. On a side note: Our Renault 21 Nevada from the early 90ies was a different beast... I think almost everything on it had to be replaced randomly, and although it made it to 270k or more (I think), my dad was happy to leave it behind and he only kept it because it was a company car.
