1998 Citroen Synergie SX 2.0i petrol

Summary:

A great family car

Faults:

This car has never not started up and has always got me to my destination in comfort.

During routine maintenance I have had the following repaired:

Overhauled steering as it was making a clunking noise.

Replaced overhead console as interior lights were working intermittently.

Right front door handle was replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

I set out to buy a large station wagon, and ended up buying this car because it wasn't much more expensive.

It drives like a car and is easy to park with good visibility out the back.

It has been cheap to run. The petrol consumption is acceptable - and has a good range of 800km to a tank. Tire wear has been slow.

The Citroen model is cheaper than other similar vans.

I also prefer the design because of the following:

- two sliding doors

- gear lever on dashboard liberates passage between front seats.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
