Summary
What does this car say about you?
It just looks like every other car from the outside, i.e. a bit boring. But I am normally on the inside so who cares.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Nothing until they get inside. Then they want one. It has so many driving aids they say you don't drive it you are just a steering wheel attendant. But before indicators, drivers had to stick a hand out of the window.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes absolutely.
What are you likely to buy next?
Citroen C5 again but a newer one with the updated outside looks.From 2004 onwards. Must have all the same gadgets though.
