General comments?
I cannot believe just how dreadful this car has been.
In all my years of driving, and that includes many Citroens, I've never owned a car that's been so unreliable. An absolute and total utter nightmare from day one.
It's currently in the main dealer... yet again... and has been for 12 days, whilst they try to find the severe engine juddering at under 2,500rpm. They seem at a total loss as to what's wrong with it, and leave me with no transport as all the courtesy cars are permanently booked. Absolute and total shambles, and wouldn't recommend one to my worst enemy. 0/10.
Trading Standards and a solicitor beckon if this isn't sorted very soon, and when it is, the car will be going the day I get it back.
I'll never buy a Citroen again.
