The very large front windscreen is ideal for viewing UFOs - a sales pitch sadly overlooked by both Citroen salespersons and by this presenter (LOL). Seriously, though, great review, many thanks.

I drove this car a week ago it was a 2011 1.2 petrol engine 3 cylinder and i like it a lot really a fun car to drive and kinda a quiet car and good suspension too.

I have a 2011 model and have owned it for two years, a 1.6 liter diesel. I am relatively satisfied with it. But there are some annoying things about it, the heat broke in the driver's seat, as I live in Sweden you really want it in the winter, but I was shocked when I heard how much it would cost to replace it, so I haven't bothered to do it. Another thing is that I'm 191 cm tall and that's the maximum so that you don't hit the roof when you have the large windshield, the extra roof you pull, probably takes 4-5 centimeters of headroom. Another thing I don't like about the car is that there are no cup holders, not one. Then there's the fact that the steering wheel can't be adjusted in depth, it's more irritating than you think because at least for me it feels like I always want steering wheel three or four centimeters closer and if I were to change one thing about the car, it would be this. Another annoying thing is that the rearview mirror sometimes twists, they don't always fold out, but when you think you need to fix or find the reason for it, they suddenly works again. The suspension, yes it is soft, maybe a little to soft, sometimes it feels almost scary because you kind of don't feel the road beneath you.Then it cracks a little here and there, but I think it comes as standard with French cars and some rust bubbles start to appear on it. Yes those were the complaints. Now for what I like about it. The big tall windscreen, it's quite fantastic and you can really appreciate it if you're driving in a beautiful landscape or under a starry sky at night . The purchase price, at least in Sweden, these cars are among the cheapest on the used market and you get a lot of car for the money. That it works both as a city car but also if you want to make longer journeys. My diesel 1.6 (92 hp they throttled the engine from 116 to reduce consumption) draws 0.5 mixed driving if you drive carefully, if you are at 80 kh/h you can get it down below 0.4 liters, almost down to 0.3 . My car also has bluetooth, cruise control, traction control system and automatic temperature etc things that are not obvious on a budget car from 2011 but which are appreciated. It's also safe, got a very good rating in Euro ncap, I alwso haw a hooked on it (also not obvious that you can put it on such a small car), and it has a relatively large luggage space. If you find one in good condition for a reasonable price, I would definitely recommend the car.

As someone tall i imagine that large front windscreen is great

Yhe 1.4 vti also uses a timing chain. Less risky then the smaller higher pressurised engines especially with higher mileage....

I would like to buy this man a brew to say thankyou for his great insight

Nice review, this Citroen looks nice but the Peugeot 208 offers a more balanced design. The panoramic roof is far more convenient and way nicer than this zenith windscreen.

R u in Essex, London? I m looking for a used auto car. Would you help me 🙏🏻How much of this car ?

Good reviews

Once I’ve watched these reviews, every other review seems lazy and lacking detail. These really are comprehensive, covering all bases and angles.

those engines that he says to avoid (1.1 with 60 and 73hp), are actually the best proven.
