It actually is, no other car gives you that combination of 5liter/100km, Space for 4 People, reliability, and low maintenance cost for that price. There might be some cars like the A2 or the Prius which outperform the 2CV, but they are at least 40 Years newer and really expensive compared to the 2CV

American cars are better

I don't think they quite expected French farmers to drive like this on the way to the market. Now on the way home after buying some wine with the egg money is a whole other thing 🤣 I would love to own one.

I had one like this. Same motor size, paint a little better, 1960 and largely unrestored. Lovely to drive and a glorious character!

In fact, eggs didn't break by ordinary driving over the field.

As a french I can but only tell you that 2CV is the MOST confortable car !!! It has put France on wheels !!! And you could fix it with nothing !!! In France we all know someone that have had a 2CV !!

The 2CV did what it was supposed to do. Carry the eggs through a field without any of them falling out the basket. As long as the guy was driving in a normal way, the eggs weren't moving, so the challenge was succesful. The other part with him driving like a lunatic doesn't count.

First of all, I would imagine that in the original egg challenge thy didn't use a basket that was overflowing with eggs. They probably used a basket with eggs IN it, not overflowing from it. Next, put the egg basket on the floor! His legs are absorbing the shock but also not steady enough to keep the already overflowing basket from tilting and spilling. Spillage was probably NOT part of the challenge. Put the eggs inside a basket, not overflowing from it, and place the basket on the solid floor. Then the results would be more accurate and telling.

I don't think the goal was a fair test , more for entertainment, Citroën already proved the concept themselves

Wouldn’t be surprised if it is more capable off-road than a modern Land Rover discovery with wide tyres and all the pointless bells and whistles

Many of mine youth most memorable memories were at the wheel of a 2CV! Great fun! Great love! Great friends! Great car! Never but never let me down! Always a tricky solution to put them back on the road! My lovely first car! No other car made me so happy as this one!

TheGreg6466, yeap, a big rectangle ventilation with one metal flap. The fabric roof was also awesome. Pull it back and enjoy the weather. If you hit a bump in the road, the car would go up and down so many times as there were no shock absorbers. That made the ride smooth as long as you weren't driving too fast or you'd fly.

I've got one now, I love watching videos like this anyway though. There's a secret handshake among 2cv owners that I'll let you in on. Start with a firm grip, then pull their hand back and rotate left, followed by forward and center, back again and finally forward and right. Stomping on their toes with your left foot with each motion is also recommended for added effect.

Don't play with foods and apologize for chickens!!!

What an utter waste. But the 2CV did have a brilliant suspension system

James May already did it.

We were Citroen dealers.... and so I am biased...... but....... In the winter of 61/62 (the UK's almost Ice Age winter) we had to go to to breakdowns and accidents and stuck cars. We had a choice of many cars to take..... but it always came down to a choice of 2...... If we had to tow the other car..... we'd use the Land Rover........ but if we just had to collect people or repair something or deliver something, we'd choose the 2cv becasue it could get through MORE difficult conditions than the Landy!

For years, I didn't think this car really existed because I had only seen it in the animated movie "Bon Voyage Charlie Brown"

the citroen 2cv and the eggs are not harmed during this video

you could start it with the wheel brace in the front of the engine, where the cooling fan is, if your battery was flat.

James May, the people's car.

That's twice now Matt's made someone wear a bonnet against his will.

Now I know why I stopped watching Top Gear and started Grand Tour.

The main problem of the 2CV is they tend to rust, so the jet wash definitely wasn't a good idea.

You don't appear to know what a 'ploughed field' is!

And this car is from Chris' private collection no doubt. A nice piece indeed.

That basket looked very comfortable

Citroen -- DESIGN BRIEF!! Harris -- *Challenge Accepted*

i had the newer 600 cc version, it has 29 hp and coincidently 29 seconds 0-60. it was a beast, the suspension was amazing.

What a disrespect to the car.

Waste of what look like very nice non-industrial eggs. That was just an excuse to make a mess. Normal, non-overflowing basket of eggs on the floor or in the trunk would have left them un-scrambled. Mine is a '59 in original condition with a new head. Like new. Not a quiet ride, mind you, but fun as hell for getting around town and country. Mom and Dad brought it to fancy car rallies in Western Mass a few years ago and annoyed the luxury car owners by drawing more attention from the crowd. Then they took out the front seats (through the rolled down roof) for a picnic... and all hell broke loose.

Love that car. My parents had one. But! theirs had 38hp 😉

3:29 I wish cars still did original things like that nowadays. I don't care about voice commands, I want to be able to remove the back seats of my car so I can... Fetch the change my guests dropped under there along with all that dirty extra weight and the perfectly eatable McDonald's fries. Carry more cargo and drastically reduce the impression of a need for a crossover also known as a gas guzzling hatchback for paranoid parents. Sit wherever I want and watch whatever I want.

A 25hp Briggs and Stratton would make it a hot rod

3:10 Opening up the door to see that... You must think, did a chicken or the driver lay these? Must've been a really scary drive...

Dear Top Gear producers. If you want to know how to make a great video about a 2CV, you should ask Chris Harris to show you the one he made for KZread. That was funny, informative and interesting. This is like the old tosh that Hammond, May and Clarkson would have come up with.
