"A wolf in sheep's clothing"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

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.

I've had one for near on 4 years. Yep, door locks went - My Citroen dealership couldn't fix it. Rear end suspension arm bush knackered too, but I've panned countless BMWs, Audis, Scubby Doos etc.. I love tihs car because it is a wolf in sheeps clothing - but beware - go beyond its limits (which I've done a few times) and it will snap and send you spinning.
