Sad but true. Mine had the sporty 5th gear but turning on the air blowers did make a sound like a mass of wailing banshees that would make every pedestrian stop and look around.  But, despite being single-handedly responsible for a fair proportion of climate change damage, it never actually broke down on me in several years.

Reminds me of a Chevy Nova I inherited from my step-dad. The four spark plugs on the passenger side of the engine were a PITA to change because you had to dismantle the air and exhaust handling to get at them. He changed the plugs himself the first time several years into owning the car after multiple plug changes by the dealer. He discovered that those four plugs were factory-original and completely degraded. It was amazing how much better the engine sounded afterward.

Isn't Citroen French for lemon?

Kind of was making a silly joke. When you buy a lemon, you've bought a troublesome car; maybe more of an American expression perhaps?
and Citroen looks like "citron".
Dutch?
Quote: André-Gustave Citroën (French: [ɑ̃dʁe ɡystav sitʁɔɛn]; 5 February 1878 – 3 July 1935) was a French industrialist and the founder of French automaker Citroën. He is also remembered for his application of double helical gears.

Well sort of Dutch 
Quote: The Citroen family descended from a grandfather in the Netherlands who had been a greengrocer and seller of tropical fruit, and had taken the surname of Limoenman, Dutch for "lime man"; his son however changed it to Citroen

I test drove a Citroen once, many many years ago.
My first note of caution was when I shut the driver's door and it felt and sounded like a paper bag.
It drove OK-ish, until I wanted to slow down. Gentle pressure on the brake - nothing. A little more - nothing. Pressing pretty hard - still nothing. Standing on the pedal and pulling the steering wheel to get more pressure - an almost imperceptible reduction in velocity. Fortunately there was nothing in front of me and at the bottom of the hill, I parked it and walked back to the showroom. Luckily I'd walked there (my car was fine, but it was close) so I just threw the keys at the guy and told him where his POS was.

Well now that you've mentioned everything that's wrong with it, there's probably not gonna be any takers...
