Citroën Synergie (1995 - 2002) 2.0i 16V SX 5d (7 Seat) (2000/X) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I am a family man (which I am). Nothing wrong with that, I think.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it and it looks the part amongst all the other MPV's in my street.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably, although would perhaps prefer a HDi model.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe a 9-seater, especially if more kids decide to make an appearance soon (my partner is getting broody).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,995

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not bad - also got a fairly reasonable trade in price for my old car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed more seats.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly and patient, especially as they had to wait a few weeks whilst I obtained a copy of my V5 and had a few problems with the money.

What's it like to drive?

Not bad really - got lots of power for such a large vehicle - even pulls well at high speed and up hills. Turning circle not that good, though. Visibility not bad all round

What's it like to park?

Fairly easy, as visibility pretty good, although turning circle could be better. PAS helps and is easy and precise.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Exhaust has broken, 2 tyres had punctures & needed replacing, brakes squeaking, clutch judder, sticky door latches and internal boot panel keeps coming unclipped. Apart from that, OK at the mo (touch wood).

What's most practical about your car?

Having 7 seats and the ability to change it to 8. Lots of room to put shopping etc.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric folding mirrors - well smart.
