Faults:

Lots of clicking from the regulator so I replaced the accumulator sphere as a precautionary measure, all is fine now. Maybe a bit of a harsh ride which will require new suspension spheres all round £20 a shot is very cheap.

Heated seats are questionable, but doesn't bother me much as summer is coming.

General Comments:

I bought it for £1400 on ebay, and it's such a nice car, it's a good car with what I feel to be a susperb suspension system, I doubt I will go back to a car with springs for a long time.

It's performance isn't too bad, brisk, but not fast, how fast do you want to go, it's at it's best on a motorway, quiet, quick and the turbo is on tap at 70mph.

Handling is something to behold for a family car, good grip, and very confident!

It's a sensible car, comfortable, spacious, quick and above all economical, I get exactly what the manufacturer says 40mpg, that can stretch to 50mpg on a long run.

The seats are awesome, comfortable and adjust in all possible ways. The cd/radio is not too bad at all for standard item.

Faults:

Exhaust needed welding after 2 weeks.

Rear window lifter failed.

Front fog lights failed.

Clutch release bearing noisy.

General Comments:

Fantastic engine pulls like a train and is economical and quiet, rear passenger leg room superb. The rear seats are a snip to take out and lets you load items 6 feet long easily.

Steering does not reward keen drivers and suffers from torque steer on full lock, holds road well though due to 205 65 15 tyres.

Would have liked a sunroof even with A/C as cabin is gloomy with dark grey trim, other revues comment on driver seat comfortableness and I agree, on mine I had to weld spacers on front pegs to angle seat back, this proved better for me, but not altogether satisfactory, seat does go up and down as does steering wheel, but, hey ho that don't help none.

French electrics are very poor, cable ends to connecting blocks use system like 'scotch blocks' which give rise to problems after a while, the french have an aversion to solder I think!!

All in all a great workhorse, but I just can't take to it like my previous estate (Audi 80 avant), the styling is a little bit over the top, my wife says she's never known me have a car I don't polish every week, well I have now.

Faults:

Door lock

Exhaust (middle box)

General Comments:

Good compromise between practical family comfort & performance.

Pleasing torque & acceleration for a larger car:- track tested: 0-60 in 9.45 seconds.

Brilliant handling, but payback is harsh ride & a feeling of driver remoteness (due to loads of electronic management systems etc).

Fragile interior & electrics.

Faults:

Rear suspension never worked from new.

Loses rear pressure as soon as car is turned off.

Rattles.

Radiator cap (took 3 goes to find the fault)

Recirculation switch.

General Comments:

Great car to drive, completely spoiled by the inability of the Australian importer to rectify the rear suspension faults... five years of trying.

Love Citroens, but without the support of the importer, how can I recommend purchase here?

Compared, say, to the service offered by Honda some years ago...
