My wife is going to for sure have to sell her car prior to our move to Turkey and she has been looking at the auto market to see what is available.
We are going to stay away from any of the eastern european manufacturers but she has seen a few of the Pugeot, Citroen (both French), Alfa (Italian), and Rover (British) cars that have the styling she likes. Does anyone have any knowledge of these cars as far as reliability, performance, safety, etc? I'm leaning toward either a Volvo S40 or S60. One consideration is that the more common the car the better the likelyhood of finding competent mechanics. Has reliability gotten any better? |
