Driving
Lovely car to drive. Very comfortable ride and fun handling.
Performance
Could've done with another 10-20bhp. Only managed 105-8mph. Not good for a 1.8, even though automatic.

Reliability
Broke down 4 times in the time I had it.

Looked much nicer than the Xsara I thought.
Comfort
Very good front seats. Lots of elbow room in the front and pedals well placed.

Security and Service
Security
Never broken into. Had remote locking.
Service
After repeated break-downs from new dealer and Citroen UK turned their backs on me and ignored my letters. Said it was my fault for choosing the car!
