Summary
What does this car say about you?
Someone who dares to be different, could have bought a blandmobile but chose this.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Having owned many exotic cars over the years I've had more compliments from friends family and neighbours over this saloon than all my other GTs, executives, and sportscars but together.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. It's an excellent car. Good prices at the dealers, excellent warranty and quite cheap to run (41 mpg). There is also an amazing support forum packed with passionate enthusiasts for the model.
What are you likely to buy next?
I am looking to trade up to a younger one in due course.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Excellent service from main dealer. They quickly understood what I wanted and sourced the car from another dealer specially for me. It was a smooth and painless experience.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Amazing. That ride isn't just about comfort it grips the road like no other car I've owned (in thirty years of ownership) and allows you to waft along like a visiting state dignitary or pile on the speed and attack the curves as you wish.
What's it like to park?
Very easy. Visibility all around is better than the competition and the all round parking sensors make it a breeze.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing really. I've had a couple of things attended to by the dealer after buying it and they were professional and easy to deal with.
What's most practical about your car?
Interior space is immense. Ride is out of this world; it's hard to imagine owning another "normal" car after you've experienced Citroën's suspension.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Without doubt the Head Up Display. I thought it was going to be a gadget but turns out to be utterly brilliant. In today's speed camera infested roads you never have to think about your speed: it's always there in front of you.
