Ibizza62 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi,I am planning to buy a new car at the end of this month. I hesitate between an Opel astra1.3 and a citroen 4, it is for professional use but can also be used for family of 5 during special occasion. According to you, which of them is more comfortable and safe for driving 28 miles a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Don't you mean 280 miles a day? 14 miles there and 14 back is frankly not far at all, don't many many people to at least that distance if not a lot more?When we lived in France work was 28 miles away, so that is times 2 each time........... and we just bought an economic car. If 28 miles is right then all I can say is that I would not buy a diesel car, always been told that short distances are not a good idea with a diesel.

Jonzjob Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Car body stiffness? Why/ What will you be carrying? All cars these days are a monocoque design and as stiff as you will ever need. Or do you mean suspension stiffness?You say Citroën 4? DS4 or C4 and if C4 which model, there are several? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I suspect you may be feeding a troll, its a strange first and probably only posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Or perhaps more kindly, someone whose first language is not English. There are a couple of clues in the sentence construction.Sorry but I am an absolute no-knowledge when it comes to cars so cannot help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I agree with the language but why would someone join a French forum to enquire about the torsional rigidity of a motor car monocoque let alone one being used for domestic purposes? A genuine poster will no doubt respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibizza62 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well, sorry first for the language, I am not a native english speaker so don't be astonished if I made mistakes. I was born in Finland and moved in France recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I am not sure if anyone really knows what you mean by car body stiffness? If you could explain a bit more please?Don't worry about your English. The native English aren't that good at it at times [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Complete non question really, stiffness, 28 miles per day, what car wouldn't be suitable for that ?I'd do it in my MGB without batting an eyelid ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
