Bought through online broker so very happy with deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Am a Citroën fan, albeit the real, older Citroëns.

What was the dealer like?

Broker was straight-up, not much contact with actual supplying dealer.

What's it like to drive?

Great fun! The EGS box is nowhere near as jerky as all the motoring journalists say. It's very easy to master to drive smoothly. In auto mode you can feel when it wants to change and the digital indicator gives you 4/10's of a second warning as well. Manual mode is better than majority of people I know with normal manuals. Comfortable to drive too.

What's it like to park?

Normal although still adjusting to light, sensitive steering. Parking sensors very sensitive - still have a few inches even after warning triangle beeps.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just a satnav upgrade.

What's most practical about your car?

It's a normal mid-size family car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Digital air-con, cruise control and parking sensors (although they do get excitable!).
