Value
Got a 15 grand car for 8 with only 12,000 miles and most of the warranty (don't buy new).
Costs
None yet, 1 year since buying it.
-
On the road
Driving
A bit floaty and not much feedback.
Performance
It will go quick, just gotta push it a bit. Will keep up with many 2 litre equivalents though.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No probs, not even a rattle.
Image
Bit of a window salesman's car, but who cares - the inside is worth it and let's face it, I don't look at the outside unless I'm getting in or out. As long as you are not having a mid-life crisis it's fine.
Comfort
Great. Everything is adjustable and super dooper suspension does the trick great.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, but good immobiliser. Don't park it in Sunderland.
Service
Recall on wheels very hard to get through to Citroen and because it was through ATS, couldn't even go to the dealer.
