Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The cam belt went after only 30,000 miles when we were abroad : a very frightening experience. Citroen have been totally unhelpful in our attempts to seek some form of compensation. 5 weeks with no car and no replacement car and a bill for 2500 pounds - will never buy another citroen.
What's most practical about your car?
Seems spacious and extra seats but so shoddily made!
