What does this car say about you?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

i wanted a sporty diesel that was quick but had all the cheap motoring and econemy of a diesel

What was the dealer like?

the dealer was okay

What's it like to drive?

the car is great on the motorway, no wonder i can get excellent MPG , i am doing 75 mph at 2000 revs.

What's it like to park?

easy enough to park but rear parking sensors a must as rear view obscured by the small window.

Have you had any problems with the car?

after being very happy with my Citroen Picasso diesel I thought I would go for a sporty diesel now my kids have grown up, the car is fast(very very torque ee) but the multi player doesnt work, it is passed as okay and the header unit is passed as okay but no one knows why they dont marry up, the garage are unwilling to pay for Citroen to look at it, i can live with out this, the wiper washer has an intermitent fault where as it works 6 times out of 10, the climate control drivers side had to be repaired.All this but i gotta say i still love it, i believe the old owners were very heavy handed with the car as when i went to Citroen to get the car checked making sure all the re-calls had been done the list of repairs were astounding like rear spoler falling off, glove box fallen off 4 time

What's most practical about your car?

cruise control, economy, when pulling onto a motorway the power you have to get to the speed of the flowing traffic is unbelievable, even my friends who have been in Golf GTis are astounded by the torque

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

cruise control, great setting it on a motorway at 50 when the speed limit is 50 due to roadworks, really keeps them horrible speed cameras away.
