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

In their own words

Bearing in mind I came from an Audi A1 going into the SUV world; I'd say I'm really pleased. Definitely don't expect Audi finish dash with soft touch robust plastics; but that aside the Citroen is of a decent build quality fit and finish. The gearbox is typical Citroen with a longer than average throw.... but nothing hatefull or bad enough to make you hate the car. I got used to it quickly actually. The 1.2 engine ( all be it the 82 lower powered version ) is absolutely fine. Coming from am Audi 1.2 turbo (to a non turbo) is hardly noticeable and I really am happy with the amount of pull in acceleration. Actually im quite suprised. But anyway; Citroen do offer a turbo version anyways. I really like this car and within a few months have become quite fond of it. Some people might struggle with the heating controls being intrigued within the screen but again; I don't find this a problem. In any case; for clearing mist from the windshields then you have two dedicated buttons anyway. So far no issues to report but it is early days. One grip is that there is no under tray to protect all the various engine bits and belts from any flying obstructions on the road. This worries me a little bit incase I'm just unfortunate. For me; it just makes it feel vulnerable. Other than that .....for me; yes it's not of Audi build quality; but equally it's not of the same price tag either. Am I happy with the Aircross?....definitely so far.
