Summary

3 out of 5

What does this car say about you?
Hopefully nothing.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all like the style and colour - it's Metallic Red so different from the blandness that is so common today.

Would you buy this car again and why?
No - my experience with the aftersales at Citroen has not been great, especially the "customer care" at head office. The fuel consumption is also a concern. As a working car - I 35,000 miles a year - it's a bit short on storage in the cabin and it's nearly impossible to store a coffee in the centre console.

What are you likely to buy next?
Don't know - that's a couple of years away so will see what's around then.

Driving it

3 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
A very competent car on the road. Not the fastest but capable enough - fuel consumption is poor though at about 39mpg. Would expect it to be a lot better, but still only 10k on the clock.

What's it like to park?
You definately need parking sensors - mine has only the rear but would also like front sensors. Steering lock is also a bit poor.

Living with it

3 out of 5

Have you had any problems with the car?
The remote boot release had to be de-activated. Self released and car boot was emptied by opportunist thief - lost over £1000 of belongings and Citroen don't want to know. Seemingly there is an issue with the key design but Citroen deny this!

What's most practical about your car?
The space and comfort - extremely good on a long run.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The electronic parking brake works extremely well - far better than my previous Audi. Electric seats are also great.
