Have you had any problems with the car?
oh yes lots, at 18k drive shaft off side, plus drivers electric window. at 20 k near side drive shaft replaced under waranty. leak on rear off side window seal. but the worst is the swinging arm (rear) bearings started to groan the week the warranty ran out, had to wait two weeks to get into daler ship, both bearing gone out of warranty by two weeks too bad £650 each side plus leak on front suspension , unwilling to even aproach citeron on our behalf, stil stuck with duff car moans and groans as you sit in it, sounds awfull. have found its a common fault, also subjected to 3 recalls other things. nice car rubbish backup
