"Surprisingly good"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet.

General comments?

Too new to assess reliability, but very impressed with the value of the package.

Got £3,500 off list price, roof bars and solid black paint thrown in and a very generous part exchange on my 3 year old Espace.

Dealer very polite and helpful and has followed up sale with a Christmas card, a phone call to check that all is okay and a welcome/thankyou letter.

Everything works as advertised so far and build quality feels good throughout. Old complaints of lumbar support and windscreen reflections have been rectified by Citroen.

MPG fantastic, even though not yet run in. Computer encourages light footwork though.

1.6 HDi 110 hp is flexible, responsive and lively - almost impossible to tell it's a diesel apart from the characteristic tickover rattle.

Road tax £110, my insurance went down from group 14 to group 8, yet power to weight better than my 2.2 CDi Espace!

My first impressions are very positive and would anticipate buying another in 3 years time if all continues to go as well as it has so far.

Four months and 4,000 miles on, still no real complaints. Gives the impression of reliability, although there was an airbag fault flagged up by the computer - sorted straight away by main dealer. Fuel consumption is becoming a game with trying to drive in a manner that squeezes out the figures. A 50 mile journey returned 63 mpg last month!
