On the road
Driving
Steering can be heavy until you get up to around 15mph. Power steering would be handy!
Performance
Great little city car, but once you get to 30mph you get the impression the car feels that its work is done and takes a nap.

Living with it
Reliability
I've had it for over a year now and it has never not started
Image
I think this is one of the few hatchbacks that a young male can drive without looking like you are borrowing your mum or girlfriend's car for the day
Comfort
Seats feel a bit thin, but generally, ok
-
Security and Service
Security
The in-built cash machine with pin code request would deter even the most cunning of thieves, and if not, there are plenty of nicer cars to steal!
Service
the first service came back at around £700, and they did little work. Best to avoid big garages who earn commission on repair work.

Engine
Genius idea of Citroen to lift the engine out of my dad's lawnmower! Nippy little car, but if you have aspirations to go above 30mph maybe look elsewhere!
Other
Good little car, especially for a young male, first time buyer
Ownership

Used
Would you buy the same model again?

Yes
