Anyone here ever drive a Citroen 2CV?

7. Not unlike what you'd expect if a child designed a car.

A friend of mine once had one, and it was borderline bizarre. A canvas panel, not unlike a huge swing seat, was the front seat, and its acceleration was on a par with an old VW van full of bricks.

By contrast, his next car was a Fairlane that could do wheelstands. After that, a GT 350 Shelby Mustang. Somewhat like a fat rec league bowler with a monogrammed shirt compared to Usain Bolt.

Oh! Almost forgot! That 2CV wasn't as weird as a "car" another classmate had - a Lambretta. 3 wheels, and the front of the car was its door, which swung open, steering wheel and all. Its performance made the 2CV seem like a muscle car. There was a longish, steepish hill in the street bordering our school, which the Lambo had to go up in reverse. If it were a French car, it might have been named a .5 Chevaux.
