My personal experience of French cars is that they're cheap, but you get what you pay for. I recall a Renault Clio I had several years ago, bought new, where almost immediately after the 3 year warranty expired the problems stated - a door handle literally came off in my hand, the gear knob came off in my hand, and numerous electrical problems occurred. I made the mistake of buying French cars for years after that (because they were cheap, and I guess I kind of am too!), but eventually learned my lesson.
