Probably the best value private vehicle on the market.
Costs
The 1.9d isn't as efficient as you might think for a diesel but it's cheap to insure and maintain.

Driving
You don't buy one of these to drive fast and dangerously. Some say the Berlingo doesn't corner well and has a poor centre of gravity. Rest assured this car handles fine. In fact given it handles far better than my Xsara ever did.
Performance
Slow and noisy. But I love it!
-
Living with it
Reliability
So far so good but my previous three Citroens have all been highly reliable.
Image
Well let's face it, it isn't a Lotus! Image is subjective. I like the image this portrays. Sensible and practical. And stuff you if you're a car snob!
Comfort
Good driving position. And ease of getting in and out is a huge plus. Comfortable for five people.
