Summary
What does this car say about you?
I probably have an elderly relative that died and left it to me in a will.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They politely ignore it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No - too expensive to maintain and run. I'd only buy another Citroen with a full manufacturers warranty because parts are expensive and experience thin on the ground.
What are you likely to buy next?
Already replaced it with a Passat 'cause I just couldn't afford to keep fixing things. Shame really.

Independent

No

£2,500

It was cheap and the spec was high (it had lots of gadgets)

Like a car dealer

Fine thanks to sensors, but the nose is quite long
