Citroën C2 (2003 - 2009) 1.4 HDi SX 3d (2004/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Love the distinctive looks and does everything I want out of a car and does them well.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Friends love the look of the car and find the seats very comfortable.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Don't think the car car is in production any more, but would buy model again if it was.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably one of the stop/start diesel citroens - had one as a courtesy car for a service and thought I had stalled it when I got to a roundabout! Should give excellent fuel economy.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,600

When did you buy the car?

December 2004

Did you get a good deal and why?

I did as there was a £1000 dealer discount at the time.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful and have stuck with them for the 8 3/4 years I've had the car so far.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent fuel economy (600+ miles from a tank), turbo makes for good overtaking and great low end torque and will pull up a hill even without your foot on the accelerator.

What's it like to park?

Easy to park with good visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing as aside from the expected general wear and tear from what is now a very high milage car - 191,000 miles and counting.

What's most practical about your car?

Good power from the engine for overtaking (turbo makes such a difference) and excellent fuel economy - averaging 65mpg this year but have done 80mpg on a euro trip several years ago.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The air conditioning - my previous car didn't have it and when you've been roasted travelling to the south of France in the summer it is a must.
