No problems so far.

On the road
Driving
Ok in general. Excellent on the motorway, however can make you feel a bit sick if you travel on country roads, due to the suspension set up.
Performance
Average for an engine of its size. 123bhp. 1st and 2nd gears seem to be too high ratio, as soon as you pull away in first you need to change quickly to second.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Always starts.
Image
Clearly not a car to impress the ladies or your mates with.
Comfort
Have to say, it's a very comfortable ride and whatever your size and shape, you should be able to adjust the steering wheel, drivers seat height etc. to suit. The seats in the SX model are very good.
-
Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks and keypad immobiliser seems adequate and I guess it's unlikely anyone would really want to steal it.
Service
Customer service on the whole has been very good, although the cost of Citroen parts are very expensive.

Oil comsumption is very high, although it doesn't seem to be burning it?
