Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Poor fuel economy - brochure states 30 urban, 49 motorway - citroen say that 20 - 30 mpg is acceptable!!
Other
Electric door pinch sensor has a mind of its own, poor fuel economy, lots of creaks and rattles, poor fit and finish - I will never but a Citroen again.
