Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Lots of extras that you would have to pay for in some other cars.
Costs
Good fuel economy. Full tank cost £50 but will do 600 miles on this servicing costs at main dealers will be very high when out of warranty.
-
On the road
Driving
Suspension knocks, even over small bumps. Constant knocking noise from rear suspension.
Performance
It does what a 2 litre diesel is expected to do, but nothing special.

Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically starts first time, but don't trust the electrics - they have a mind of their own.
Image
Image ahead of its time. Large spacious cabin, cavenous boot, could do with a rear wash wipe bonnet and screen easily chipped.
Comfort
Like driving sitting in an armchair, but no armrest can be tiring on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Not been tested yet (touch wood).
Service
Citroen have flooded market with value for money cars, but dealers have not grown so not enough to do work. Ignorant, arrogant and useless, so sold car and bought a Ford.
