    Handles well in sport mode for such a big car. Some wind noise. Poor vis when reversing. Very relaxing and tows well.

    Performance

    Will cruise well over the limit if in a hurry.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Rides better than a Jag. If it had Saab seats it would be unbeatable!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    After the local Citroen dealer fitted new spheres and forgot to reconnect a fluid pipe, I think I'll stick with the guy I bought the car from - his service is superb.
