What does this car say about you?

That I like to be different because I didn't go for the usual options of Corsa VXR Clio Sport 206 GTi Polo GTi Coopers S.

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

Thinking of hiding my keys at work because everybody loves my car my neighbour likes it. But at the end of the day I got the car because I liked it and not for other people to like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Erm hardly have I bought it again because people don't expect it to have the power it does because it a C2 and it's the fastest you can go, cheapest to insurance, petrol and road tax than any of it's other rivals and it's everything I need and want from a car.

What are you likely to buy next?

White Citroen DS3 Dsport Plus because it's replaced the C2 and it's everything I love about my C2 but in a new car and everything I want in a new car is there. More power, 6th gear, leather seats, arm rest, climate control, Bluetooth, cruise control, USB.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wrote my last car off unfortunately (Citroen C2 Code) and needed a new car ASAP I loved my little code so thought this would be an ideal replacement even though I said I would never have the same car twice.

What was the dealer like?

Got my C2 Code from Citroen Evans Halshaw and got my C2 VTS from Ford Evans Halshaw always will to negotiate a PX price. No pushy sales people.

What's it like to drive?

Small and mighty. Fun easy to nip through traffic and pull out at junction in smaller gaps because of the power. Main downside which I know when I bought it but doesn't really bother me is ride comfort with it having a sport suspension it hard so you feel every bump in road but the seats are comfy.

What's it like to park?

Easy forgot what it's called but at low speeds it's got the light steering which makes it easier to park and move around small carparks.

Few days after picking up the car found out bonnet release didn't even though when I viewed the car it did so within the space of 24hrs somehow it break but was repaired under warranty for free.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing but didn't get the for its practicality.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Personal I love the digital speedo but I know many people don't like them. Automatically locking doors over 5mph.
