"Nice car, just expensive if it breaks down"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed 2 new tyres, but needs the other 2 doing soon.

Suspension has gone.

Catalytic converter has gone.

Brakes are on the way out.

Otherwise it is a nice comfy ride, shame all this happened in the 3 months we had it.

General comments?

Seems a lot to go all at once, but I would say it is a nice car that handles well.

Parts are expensive, I have found that kinda puts me off having another.

Parts aren't actually that expensive, it would suggest your going to places which are known to be overpriced (the dealers by any chance?)

Brakes are something which wear out so not exactly the cars fault, but yours for not checking how much wear was left when you bought the car.

By suggesting the suspension has 'gone' gives no indication as to why or what has 'gone' and shows people that it could be a massive expense. If the suspension has gone it could be due to about 3 or 4 things, and as cheap as about £20 to sort out, if your going to complain about a problem try describing the problem.

Once again someone who knows very little about the hydraulic suspension, if you don't know or are unwilling to learn and have no idea how to go about fixing or paying someone to fix cars then don't buy a car you don't understand.

No wonder citroens get such a bad name from people who don't have a clue that's their actually buying.
