Faults:

I have never had the roof off, as it has been with the dealers for most of the good weather.

The roof seals leaked, and have been refitted 10 times, including the "new improved" type.

The last time the "new" seals were fitted, there was so much silicone sealer used that the rubber bulged... causing leaks!

The dealer told me the seals were OK until the roof is removed... not great news for a convertible!

I have also been told not to jet wash the car, as it will interfere with the seals!

I have owned the car for 18 months, and it has been back to the dealers on 15 occasions, the longest being for 2 months. It is due in again this week.

The electric window regulators in both driver & passenger door were faulty.

The seals have been replaced around the driver's door, passenger door, around the boot, and over the rear of the car.

The upholstery requires cleaning constantly, due to the water stains.

The glove box door could be opened by your little finger, even when locked. Citroen replaced the door twice, which did not resolve the problem. Even I could see that the door catch was not meeting properly. It turns out the only way to rectify this is to remove the dash completely, which of course is not cost effective, so they screwed a bit of plastic to the existing catch to elongate it... TOP JOB! It looks tacky and still does not work properly.

Car has had over £2500 of warranty work carried out, and is due for more.

The dealers have been less than helpful, and a number of my returns to them are due to shoddy work.

General Comments:

The car is nice to look at, but doesn't live up to its looks.

I bought it for its quirky design, but this was an error on my part. The quirky design is basically faulty, and the car is not fit for the purpose intended, i.e, as a convertible the design is completely flawed.

Probably great in warmer climates, but should not have been marketed in the UK.

Faults:

Nothing! most reliable car I've had to date.

General Comments:

We love the convertible roof, but don't get to use it very often unfortunately. car handles like a dream and manages to turn a few heads in the meantime.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I know I've only had my Pluriel for 5 days, but so far she is a dream. Handles beautifully, looks fantastic, gets me where I want to go in style.

What do you mean, the weather stops you taking the top down? We flick the switch every time we go out! If rain comes you flick the switch again - no problem!

The kids particularly like how the windows disappear completely when you put them all down...

I haven't quite worked out how to operate it, but I also love the display, which you can switch between mpg, mileage, and trip mileage. Maybe I'd love any new, digital-age car, but you've got to admit the Pluriel is special.

Faults:

Roof leaked after heavy rain, causing water marks on the interior trim.

Alarm seems very sensitive.

Light grey coloured seats seems to mark too easily, needs constant valeting.

General Comments:

A great little car for the time I owned it, unfortunately the British weather lets it down as you don't get enough days in the year to take the roof off.

Was quite heavy on petrol consumption, and I found that the SensoDrive gearbox blunts performance somewhat. Still, it turned heads and boasts the same charm as the original 2CV.

Not particularly practical, especially if you own a dog - still great fun to drive and own and that's what counts in the end.
