Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

As a concept this car ticks a few boxes, fuel consumption is good but as always falls well short of the claimed mpg. As I mentioned the touch screen is terrible and quite often unresponsive to your touch. As for the sat-nav, who designs one that you can't input a post code into, and it couldn't find itself if it had too. The car itself drives ok but anything longer than a few hours and your back will know all about it as there is no lumbar support. I cannot get a comfortable driving position either as the steering only adjusts up and down. In short Citreon have made too many compromises with he car and it shows, several rattles have also surfaced in the last few months. Only one usable cup holder in the whole car, my fiat panda had more. I will be glad to return the car as its on lease, thank god.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

This is not a family car, it is too small and has poor storage. The touch screen system is dire and never safe to use on the move.
