What does this car say about you?

I'm not a badge snob.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone loves it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

What are you likely to buy next?

Not sure yet.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£25,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Very good. £10k off new price for 8 month old car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Promises excellent economy. Great looking car with superb interior.

What was the dealer like?

Reasonable

What's it like to drive?

Very nice, although a bit harsh at low speeds over our appalling potholed roads.

What's it like to park?

Not easy. Reversing camera and paking sensors are a good investment.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Disc hubs have corroded. Citroen offered parts only, no labour. Local dealer offered to fit free as a goodwill gesture.

What's most practical about your car?

Very comfortable. Good sized interior with every conceivable extra.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Lane departure warning system.
