Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I paid £9000 for mine with sports pack, not that well equipped.
Costs
Fairly juicy. Insurance fairly steep, even with 5 years no claims, no points and living in a low crime rate area!... Got a quote with Elephant.com for VTR at £750! Got better quote for VW Golf Gti 150bhp.

On the road
Driving
Not a bad car to drive. Could be worse! A car designed for people with short legs and long arms!... Painful if travelling long distance!
Performance
Quite nippy and handles well!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Quite good. Loads of niggling faults though! Front and rear windscreen takes ages to clear, CD player loves to play up, the list goes on!... and on... and on...
Image
Sexxxy little thing (when clean). People always try to race you though!
Comfort
Not the best of seats! Could be "A LOT" better!

Security and Service
Security
Standard imobilser. Had to pay extra £250 for CAT1 alarm.
Service
Never ever buy from 'Kent Elms Citroen in Southend-on-Sea'. I had numerous problems from day one... which are still not sorted to this very day! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
