  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Citroen residuals have seldom been good - be interesting to watch this one in view of its popularity.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Long service intervals help keep running costs at a reasonable level. Tyre wear not good - tendency to scrub the shoulders and wear rate is high.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Biggest problems are blind spots and reflection of dash on the front screen.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Could definitely use the 110HDi engine - makes all the right noises, but takes too long to get there.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic! Bought at 19k miles and now done 70k miles and not missed a beat.

    Most people love the shape - the kids love it because they can see out easily and have trays to build Lego on!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Doesn't compare with my old CX Familiale - but what does?

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Definitely needs an alarm system - just too easy to see into the boot, even with the cover on.

    A couple of recalls but it's a new model - generally attentive and helpful.
