Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very good. The VTR+ has slightly firmer suspension which lets it down over bumps and potholes but apart from that it's a fairly comfortable cruiser and holds the road extremely well when you are having fun with it!
What's it like to park?
Pretty easy but I sometimes find myself having to adjust the door mirrors slightly to reverse park.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only two minor faults, software updates for the engine ECU to prevent the engine stalling and on one occasion the electric windows stopped working properly but the next day the windows worked perfectly and have done since.
What's most practical about your car?
The space inside the car and the layout of most of the dasboard. Very comfy driving position also.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Too many gadgets that are typical of Citroen! But it has to be cruise control. So easy to work with only two main buttons to work it on the steering wheel.
