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

In their own words

Had a couple of these, very roomy for passengers and goods, comfortable and quiet but another Citroen that lacks a proper glove box, the boot is spacious with a full size spare, constant average 54 mpg with very good performance and good torque from the diesel engine and 6 speed box, the automatic handbrake takes a bit of getting used to but coupled with the hill start assist was very handy, couldnt see the point of the super large windscreen apart from flooding the interior with light, seats comfortable with the typical drivers seat bolster collapse, a common fault Suddenly had the car go into creep mode but luckily only 1/2 mile from home, had car recovered to go to local garage, recovery wanted to do a suspended tow but auto handbrake was engaged so we had to start the engine and leave it idling while car was being transported, following an expensive bill of £900 for alternator, injector and programming all was well for a month when I lost 5th & 6th gears, thats when I called it a day and traded it in
