If I am correct I need to expound on the sound that every small french car seems to make when one closes a door.
It sounds, and feels, like I am closing a door made of tinfoil. The thinnest possible metal. and the whole chassis ''rings'' with the collision of cheap engineered panels and the cost saving associated with little or no attention to chassis vibration and sound deadening.
You have to understand, I spend all my travel time in either new quality cars (audi,spec'd volvo's etc) and all of the rest of my driving time in older quality vehicles. Soon as I even get close to a fench car I can see, and mores to this point, hear the low quality of design and construction.
This is like trying to objectively discuss Rover with someone who used to work for them. You just cant get past the cognative dissonance that they weren't all that bad really. They are that bad, really.
) that are very poor. Not in a sense they're in anyway flimsy or falling off, but there are bits like the door pulls and dash trims where the original single colour has been re-coloured into various different textures and colours and unfortunately those re-colours are very thin top overs and wear out within literally a couple of years. That's utterly bum droppings. But then again, I've observed exactly the same thing in modern Vectra's and Passats, so... meh?

thought that was sensible) but it's all centred around trying to make you go back to a dealer. That's why everything (on all modern cars) is covered in plastic jobby. (Actually though, to my surprise I have to say having just started to tackle a couple of those things on the C5, I've actually not found any car that's easier to do that on - it's a damn site easier changing the dash bulbs than on the lude)
