Cool! So, no problems with the Frenchy?
We also tested a Volvo V50, but the wifey thought it was too small.

Sweet! Is it AWD?

Nope. I tend to stay on the road anyways.

WUSS!!!

Do the Swedes and Norwegians still bicker?

When I was in Sweden on business back in the early 90s, as we walked through the train station in Stockholm, we saw a guy peeing in the corner as his wife yelled at him. Our guide from our Swedish plant sneered and said "He must be Norwegian".

I spent about 2 weeks over there and I got the distinct impression that Norwegians and Swedes don't think too much of each other.

No problems at all..
I`ve had lots of French cars, love Peugot and Citroen, but STAY AWAY from Renault!!!
And, your wife is right, V50 is too small.

I was in Ireland a few years ago and my rental care was a Renault - what a piece of smurf!!!!!!!! The acceleration was soooo slow! In the US, back in the early 80's, renault tried to sell cars here. The big model was a tiny, econo-box called the "Le Car"
