Driving
Don't know what other reviewers drive, but I find this great. Mine's in the colour this car was emant to be (very dark metallic black). It goes where I want, holds the road, smooth gear change and enjoyable. I've done about 40K miles in 16 months.
Performance
110 HDI beats the new C2VTR from 0- 60, and has superb motorway pull. Performance, economy, flexibility

Living with it
Reliability
No trouble at all till the turbo packed up at 67K.
Image
Doesn't worry me. I have probably the best value motoring around. No security concerns, and don't want even more cash tied up in a fancy badge.
Comfort
Typically I do nearly three hour a day, and it's fine. There are a couple of rattles but at these prices I don't mind

Security and Service
Security
No idea. Nobody wants to steal one of these.
Service
Warranty could allow more miles. 60K in three years is not much these days.
